Nick Gerleman ef1d772447 Consolidate JavaScript Flavors (#1433)
Summary:
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/yoga/issues/1417

This dramatically simplifies the matrix of Node vs web, ASM vs WASM, sync vs async compilation, or CommonJS vs ES Modules. We have one variant, using wasm, with ESModule top-level await to do async compilation. Web/node share the same binary, and we base64 encode the WASM into a wrapper JS file for compatibility with Node and bundlers.

This has some downsides, like requiring an environment with top level await, but also has upsides, like a consistent, sync looking API compatible with older Yoga, and mitigating TypeScript issues with package exports and typings resolution.

As part of this work I also removed `ts-node` from the toolchain (at the cost of a couple of config files needing to be vanilla JS).

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1433

Test Plan:
1. `yarn test`
2. `yarn lint`
3. `yarn tsc`
4. `yarn benchmark`
5. `yarn build` website-next
6. `yarn lint` website-next
7. Locally test website-next
8. Examine package artifact created by GitHub
9. All Automation passes

yoga-layout

This package provides prebuilt WebAssembly bindings for the Yoga layout engine.

Usage

import {Yoga, Align} from 'yoga-layout';

const node = Yoga.Node.create();
node.setAlignContent(Align.Center);

Objects created by Yoga.<>.create() are not automatically garbage collected and should be freed once they are no longer in use.

// Free a config
config.free();

// Free a tree of Nodes
node.freeRecursive();

// Free a single Node
node.free();

Using TypeScript

This package provides out-of-the-box TypeScript typings so long as tsc is configured to support ESM resolution. It is recommended to set moduleResolution: 'bundler' or moduleResolution: node16 in your tsconfig.json according to your environment.

ES Modules

yoga-layout is only provided as an ES Module, relying on top-level await. This allows providing a synchronous API, while still allowing async WebAssembly compilation in browsers, and will allow eventual usage of ESM/WASM interop.
