Providers

Do not understand these things. Seems Wasi has providers. `wasi_snapshot_preview1.wasm` was the original provider. It provided a bunch of APIs to read environemt variables, command line arguments, stdio, and file access. [preview2](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/preview2-prototyping) is under works, with lot more APIs. Provider 1 was done using witx, and provider 2 is being developed using wit.

`wasi-cloud-core`

This is a [collection of wasi proposals](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/520) to create a "cloud code". - wasi-keyvalue - wasi-messaging - wasi-http - wasi-runtime-config - wasi-distributed-lock-service - wasi-sql - wasi-blob-store

import { WASI, File, OpenFile, PreopenDirectory } from "@bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim";

let args = ["bin", "arg1", "arg2"];
let env = ["FOO=bar"];
let fds = [
new OpenFile(new File([])), // stdin
new OpenFile(new File([])), // stdout
new OpenFile(new File([])), // stderr
new PreopenDirectory(".", {
"example.c": new File(new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode(`#include "a"`)),
"hello.rs": new File(new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode(`fn main() { println!("Hello World!"); }`)),
}),
];
let wasi = new WASI(args, env, fds);

let wasm = await WebAssembly.compileStreaming(fetch("bin.wasm"));
let inst = await WebAssembly.instantiate(wasm, {
"wasi_snapshot_preview1": wasi.wasiImport,
});
wasi.start(inst);
