Prerequisites

• Node.js (with npm or Yarn)
• A Nutrient Web license. If you don't already have one you can request a free trial here.

Getting Started

Install the nutrient npm package and move all contents to the vendor directory.

npm install --save @nutrient-sdk/viewer
mkdir -p public/vendor
cp -R node_modules/nutrient/dist public/vendor/nutrient

Bootstrap the project by installing all the other dependencies.

npm install

Running the Benchmark

Now that Nutrient Web is installed, you need to copy your product (license) key to the public/license-key file.

We can now run the benchmark server:

npm start

The benchmark is available at http://localhost:3000.

Building a Production Version

You can build an optimized version using the following command:

PUBLIC_URL="/webassembly-benchmark/" npm run build

Where PUBLIC_URL must be set according to the final URL, where the application is hosted.

Optimizations

The following optimizations can be enabled via URL parameter:

• disableWebAssemblyStreaming, true by default
• standaloneInstancesPoolSize, 0 by default
• runsScaleFactor, scales the number of test runs, 1 by default

What's in This Repository

This repository contains files used to build the Nutrient WebAssembly benchmark.

The source files are structured into two different categories:

• src/lib contains all files necessary to set up the test suite including the individual tests and helper functions.
• src/ui contains a React application that is used to render the user interface.

For a main entry point, have a look at src/index.js.
