Can this be compiled to web assembly ? #94

Closed imanghafoori1 closed 4 years ago

imanghafoori1 commented 4 years ago

Can this be compiled to web assembly (or wasi) and use the local storage to persist data? or maybe ignore persistence feature all together for web assembly version.

Hummm, maybe, in theory, idk...

But why? Whatare you trying to achieve?

I believe that with enough effort you could produce a web assembly binary, but I am not sure it would be a good idea.

Care to elaborate more?

I think it would be nice to have an sql database on the client side, for offline ready progressive web apps. (the same as android applications can work offline and interact with a local sqlite on mobile devices.) It's just some imaginations, I am not an expert in PWAs.

Also, WASI provides light wight sand boxing, it is web assembly out side browser. (like nodejs is javascript out side browser.) Maybe the sandboxing feature of wasi is needed by some folks.

In those case I would try to compile directly SQLite, but I believe that there are already attempts for this.

Anyhow, RediSQL is based on SQLite.

If I answered your question please feel free to close the issue.
