In-browser sandbox: Embedded functions are not enabled

[orimay]

Describe your feature request In-browser sandbox doesn't allow to use embedded functions, throws error Embedded functions are not enabled. It would've been nice to have access to this functionality. Thank you!

Are you willing to contribute this feature? I am not willing to contribute

Unfortunately this isn't currently supported as the JavaScript engine doesn't compile to WebAssembly

@macjuul It now seems to be possible:

import {
  Surreal,
  type Emitter,
  type Engine,
  type EngineEvents,
} from 'surrealdb.js';
import { surrealdbWasmEngines } from 'surrealdb.wasm';

const db = new Surreal({
  engines: surrealdbWasmEngines({
    strict: false,
    capabilities: {
      guest_access: true,
      functions: true,
      network_targets: true,
    },
  }) as Record<string, new (emitter: Emitter<EngineEvents>) => Engine>,
});

The functions capability refers to regular built-in and SurrealQL functions, not embedded scripting functions written in JavaScript. I cannot guarantee these will ever be supported due to the complexity behind exposing these through WebAssembly

Oh, that's a pity. Thank you!
