# yoga-layout
This package provides prebuilt JavaScript bindings for the Yoga layout engine. Both WebAssembly and asm.js variants are packaged, with the optimal loaded based on platform.
## Usage
The default entrypoint provides an asynchronous loader function to return a Yoga instance.
```ts
import { loadYoga, ALIGN_CENTER } from "yoga-layout";
const Yoga = await loadYoga();
const node = Yoga.Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(ALIGN_CENTER);
```
An alternative synchronous API is provided for compatibility, but requires using asm.js in browsers instead of WebAssembly, leading to worse performance and larger assets.
```ts
import Yoga, { ALIGN_CENTER } from "yoga-layout/sync";
const node = Yoga.Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(ALIGN_CENTER);
```
## Selecting WebAssembly or asm.js
For better performance and smaller packages, WebAssembly is preferred to asm.js where available. `yoga-layout` tries to provide the right default using [export maps](https://webpack.js.org/guides/package-exports/#conditional-syntax) so that platforms which can take advantage of WebAssembly use it by default.
A specific entrypoint may be specified on platforms which do not understand export conditions.
```ts
import { loadYoga } from "yoga-layout/entrypoint/wasm-async";
```
## Contributing
`yoga-layout` may be locally built by running the following set of commands. The build requires that some dependencies be installed first.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/facebook/yoga.git
cd yoga/javascript
yarn install
yarn build
```
### Requirements
1. CMake >= 3.13
1. (Optional) ninja, for faster builds
