Taskless Core Plugin

The Taskless Core plugin powers the Open Source Taskless Loader and is the default pack most users use when starting with Taskless.

What Are Packs?

Packs are WebAssembly binaries that expose one or more "hooks" to the host system. In the case of Taskless, these WebAssembly hooks must expose a pre and post method which operate on strings containing JSON.

Building Locally

Taskless Packs are built as Extism plugins. This one is (currently) TypeScript based, and requires the Extism PDK to build.

1. Follow the js-pdk instructions to install Extism's builder for JavaScript and TypeScript projects (link)
2. Run pnpm install to install the development dependnecies
3. Run pnpm build to build the plugin

In the dist folder, you'll see the final JavaScript, along with a plugin.wasm file (the WebAssembly binary) and a manifest.json file that describes the plugin.

Testing

This library uses @taskless/packcheck to test the WebAssembly binary. To run the tests, run pnpm test.
