Passing Rust Closures to JS

This documentation is no longer maintained at this domain, and is now maintained at wasm-bindgen.github.io instead. Passing Rust Closures to Imported JavaScript Functions

The #[wasm_bindgen] attribute supports Rust closures being passed to JavaScript in two variants:

Stack-lifetime closures that should not be invoked by JavaScript again after the imported JavaScript function that the closure was passed to returns.
Heap-allocated closures that can be invoked any number of times, but must be explicitly deallocated when finished.

Stack-Lifetime Closures

Closures with a stack lifetime are passed to JavaScript as either &dyn Fn or &mut dyn FnMut trait objects:


# #![allow(unused_variables)]
#fn main() {
// Import JS functions that take closures

#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn takes_immutable_closure(f: &dyn Fn());

    fn takes_mutable_closure(f: &mut dyn FnMut());
}

// Usage

takes_immutable_closure(&|| {
    // ...
});

let mut times_called = 0;
takes_mutable_closure(&mut || {
    times_called += 1;
});
#}

Once these imported functions return, the closures that were given to them will become invalidated, and any future attempts to call those closures from JavaScript will raise an exception.

Closures also support arguments and return values like exports do, for example:


# #![allow(unused_variables)]
#fn main() {
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn takes_closure_that_takes_int_and_returns_string(x: &dyn Fn(u32) -> String);
}

takes_closure_that_takes_int_and_returns_string(&|x: u32| -> String {
    format!("x is {}", x)
});
#}

Heap-Allocated Closures

Sometimes the discipline of stack-lifetime closures is not desired. For example, you'd like to schedule a closure to be run on the next turn of the event loop in JavaScript through setTimeout. For this, you want the imported function to return but the JavaScript closure still needs to be valid!

For this scenario, you need the Closure type, which is defined in the wasm_bindgen crate, exported in wasm_bindgen::prelude, and represents a "long lived" closure.

The validity of the JavaScript closure is tied to the lifetime of the Closure in Rust. Once a Closure is dropped, it will deallocate its internal memory and invalidate the corresponding JavaScript function so that any further attempts to invoke it raise an exception.

Like stack closures a Closure supports both Fn and FnMut closures, as well as arguments and returns.


# #![allow(unused_variables)]
#fn main() {
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
    fn setInterval(closure: &Closure<dyn FnMut()>, millis: u32) -> f64;
    fn clearInterval(token: f64);

    #[wasm_bindgen(js_namespace = console)]
    fn log(s: &str);
}

#[wasm_bindgen]
pub struct Interval {
    closure: Closure<dyn FnMut()>,
    token: f64,
}

impl Interval {
    pub fn new<F: 'static>(millis: u32, f: F) -> Interval
    where
        F: FnMut()
    {
        // Construct a new closure.
        let closure = Closure::new(f);

        // Pass the closure to JS, to run every n milliseconds.
        let token = setInterval(&closure, millis);

        Interval { closure, token }
    }
}

// When the Interval is destroyed, clear its `setInterval` timer.
impl Drop for Interval {
    fn drop(&mut self) {
        clearInterval(self.token);
    }
}

// Keep logging "hello" every second until the resulting `Interval` is dropped.
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn hello() -> Interval {
    Interval::new(1_000, || log("hello"))
}
#}
