WASM Compatibility Remediation Summary

Complete Solution for leptos-shadcn-ui WASM Support

Document Version: 1.0
Date: 2025-01-27
Status: IMPLEMENTATION READY

---

🎯 Executive Summary

This document provides a comprehensive solution to the WASM compatibility issues in leptos-shadcn-ui, specifically addressing the mio, uuid, and rustc-serialize dependency conflicts. We present three strategic approaches with detailed implementation plans.

📊 Current Status Analysis

✅ What's Working

• Core Components: Button, Input, Card, Label are WASM-compatible
• Working Demos: standalone-demo/ and examples/leptos/ compile for WASM
• Proper Dependencies: WASM demos use correct UUID and getrandom features

❌ What's Broken

• test-utils Package: Missing "js" feature in UUID dependency
• Non-WASM Dependencies: proptest and tempfile incompatible with WASM
• Mixed Architecture: No conditional compilation for different targets

🚀 Three Strategic Solutions

Solution 1: Fix Existing Package (RECOMMENDED)

Priority: HIGH | Effort: MEDIUM | Risk: LOW

Approach: Fix the packages/test-utils/Cargo.toml and add conditional compilation

Key Changes:

# Fix UUID dependency
uuid = { version = "1.0", features = ["v4", "js"] }

# Add conditional dependencies
[target.'cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")'.dependencies]
wasm-bindgen-futures = "0.4"

[target.'cfg(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))'.dependencies]
proptest = "1.4"
tempfile = "3.0"

Benefits:

• ✅ Single codebase for both platforms
• ✅ Minimal breaking changes
• ✅ Maintains existing functionality
• ✅ Quick implementation

Implementation Time: 1-2 weeks

Solution 2: WASM-Only Minimal Package

Priority: MEDIUM | Effort: HIGH | Risk: MEDIUM

Approach: Create dedicated leptos-shadcn-ui-wasm package

Key Features:

• Minimal WASM-only dependencies
• Optimized bundle size (< 50KB for essential components)
• WASM-specific utilities and optimizations
• No conditional compilation complexity

Benefits:

• ✅ Smallest possible bundle size
• ✅ WASM-optimized from ground up
• ✅ No native compatibility concerns
• ✅ Faster build times

Implementation Time: 3-4 weeks

Solution 3: Full Conditional Compilation

Priority: HIGH | Effort: HIGH | Risk: LOW

Approach: Implement comprehensive conditional compilation across all packages

Key Features:

• Target-specific feature flags
• Platform-optimized implementations
• Unified API with conditional backends
• Comprehensive cross-platform testing

Benefits:

• ✅ Optimal performance on both platforms
• ✅ Single codebase maintenance
• ✅ Platform-specific optimizations
• ✅ Comprehensive testing coverage

Implementation Time: 4-6 weeks
