{/* - Crystal 1.17.0 only: the wasm target does not build on newer releases. */}
- Memory is never reclaimed — `wasm32` selects Crystal's no-GC allocator — so a long-running program will grow.
- No threads, sockets or subprocesses: WASI preview 1 has none, and a program is given an empty filesystem.

# Odin (Wasm)

[Odin](https://odin-lang.org/) is a general-purpose programming language with distinct typing, built for high performance, modern systems and built-in data-oriented data types.

In LiveCodes, Odin is compiled and run entirely in the browser by Odin's compiler, compiled to WebAssembly. Nothing runs on a server.

## Usage

Demo:

import LiveCodes from '../../src/components/LiveCodes.tsx';

export const odinConfig = {
mode: 'simple',
activeEditor: 'script',
script: {
language: 'odin-wasm',
content: `package main\n
import "core:fmt"\n
main :: proc() {
program := "+ + * - /"
accumulator := 0\n
for token in program {
switch token {
case '+': accumulator += 1
case '-': accumulator -= 1
case '*': accumulator *= 2
case '/': accumulator /= 2
case: // ignore everything else
}
}\n
fmt.printfln("The program \\"%s\\" calculates the value %d", program, accumulator)
}
`,
},
tools: { status: 'full' },
};

export const odinCanvasConfig = {
mode: 'simple',
activeEditor: 'script',
markup: {
language: 'html',
content: `<canvas id="canvas" width="480" height="240"></canvas>
<script>
window.drawDot = () => {
const c = document.getElementById('canvas');
const ctx = c.getContext('2d');
const t = performance.now() / 1000;
ctx.fillStyle = '#0f1116';
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, c.width, c.height);
ctx.fillStyle = '#3b82f6';
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(c.width / 2 + Math.cos(t) * 90, c.height / 2 + Math.sin(t) * 55, 16, 0, Math.PI * 2);
ctx.fill();
};
</script>`,
},
script: {
language: 'odin-wasm',
content: `package main\n
import "core:fmt"
import "core:sys/wasm/js"\n
main :: proc() {
fmt.println("drawing on the canvas")
}\n
@(export)
step :: proc(dt: f64, _: rawptr) -> bool {
js.evaluate("drawDot()")
return true
}
`,
},
customSettings: { 'odin-wasm': { target: 'js_wasm32' } },
tools: { status: 'full' },
};

<LiveCodes config={odinConfig}></LiveCodes>

### Communication with JavaScript

The code is compiled in a web worker. Where it then runs depends on the target it is built for, which
is set in [custom settings](../advanced/custom-settings.mdx):

| Target | Runs on | What it reaches |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `wasi_wasm32` (default) | a WASI host, in the worker | `core:fmt`, standard input, arguments, exit codes |
| `js_wasm32` | this page, on Odin's own JS runtime | the DOM and a `<canvas>`, through `core:sys/wasm/js` |

```json title="Custom Settings"
{
"odin-wasm": { "target": "js_wasm32" }
}
```

Either way the following helpers are available in the browser global `livecodes.odinWasm` object:

- `livecodes.odinWasm.input`: The standard input passed to the program.
- `livecodes.odinWasm.loaded`: A promise that resolves when the compiler is loaded and the program has run once.
- `livecodes.odinWasm.output`: The program's output.
- `livecodes.odinWasm.error`: The compiler diagnostics, if the code failed to compile.
- `livecodes.odinWasm.exitCode`: The program's exit code.
- `livecodes.odinWasm.run`: A function that compiles and runs the code with new input. It takes a string as input and returns a promise that resolves with an object containing `output`, `error` and `exitCode`.

Example:

<LiveCodes template="odin-wasm" params={{ activeEditor: 'markup' }} height="80vh"></LiveCodes>

#### JavaScript interop, the DOM and canvas

With `target: "js_wasm32"` the program runs on the page, on Odin's own JavaScript runtime, so
[`core:sys/wasm/js`](https://pkg.odin-lang.org/core/sys/wasm/js/) reaches what the page has: the
document, elements, events, WebGL and a canvas.

- `js.evaluate(str)` evaluates JavaScript in the page — the shortest path to anything the bindings do
not wrap.
- The DOM bindings: `js.get_element_value_string`, `js.set_element_value_string`, `js.set_element_style`,
`js.set_document_title`, `js.get_bounding_client_rect`.
- The event listeners in `core:sys/wasm/js/events`, and the `webgl` / `webgl2` bindings for a canvas.
- A program that exports `step :: proc(dt: f64, ctx: rawptr) -> bool` is driven once per animation
frame, as Odin's runtime does it, and the canvas is yours to draw on. Such a program still needs a
`main`: Odin requires an entry point.

A canvas, drawn from Odin through `js.evaluate`:

<LiveCodes config={odinCanvasConfig} height="60vh"></LiveCodes>

```odin
package main

import "core:fmt"
import "core:sys/wasm/js"

main :: proc() {
fmt.println("drawing on the canvas")
}

@(export)
step :: proc(dt: f64, _: rawptr) -> bool {
js.evaluate("drawDot()")
return true
}
```

The page's markup provides the canvas and the `drawDot` function; the JavaScript runtime, not the
program, owns the DOM, so the two meet through `js.evaluate`.

### Reading standard input

The input (`livecodes.odinWasm.input`, or whatever is passed to `run`) reaches the program **byte for
byte** — nothing appends a newline to it. That matters for a line-based program, because Odin's
`bufio.reader_read_string` returns the data *together with* `.EOF` when the last line has no trailing
newline (the same as Go's `ReadString`). Read the data first, then stop on the error:

```odin
for {
line, err := bufio.reader_read_string(&reader, '\n')
if len(line) > 0 {
// use the line
}
if err != nil {
break
}
}
```

## Language Info

### Name

`odin-wasm`

### Aliases and Extensions

`odin`

### Editor

`script`

## Compiler

Odin's compiler, compiled to WebAssembly by [wodin](https://github.com/karl-zylinski/wodin).

### Version

Odin Compiler Version: `dev-2026-09`

## Custom Settings

[Custom settings](../advanced/custom-settings.mdx) added to the property `odin-wasm` are passed as a JSON object to the `compiler` during compile. Please check the [documentation](../advanced/custom-settings.mdx) for full reference.

Please note that custom settings should be valid JSON (i.e. functions are not allowed).

**Example:**

```json title="Custom Settings"
{
"odin-wasm": {}
}
```

`args` is passed to the program as its command-line arguments, `compileArgs` is added to the `odin build` command line, and `target` selects the target the program is built for (`wasi_wasm32`, the default, which runs on a WASI host, or `js_wasm32`, which runs on the browser's JavaScript runtime).

Limit the args claim to the WASI target.

When a user selects js_wasm32, the page-run path does not pass args to the program. The worker-run path passes args only when it runs a WASI program. State this target restriction here, or pass the arguments through the page runtime. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @docs/docs/languages/odin-wasm.mdx at line 203:
Update the `args` description to state that arguments are passed to the program
only when using the `wasi_wasm32` target; leave the `compileArgs` and `target`
descriptions unchanged.

**Example:**

```json title="Custom Settings"
{
"odin-wasm": {
"args": ["--flag", "value"],
"compileArgs": ["-o:speed"]
}
}
```

## Live Reload

By default, new code changes are sent to the result page for re-evaluation without a full page reload, avoiding the need to reinitialize the Odin environment. This behavior can be disabled by adding the code comment `// __livecodes_reload__` to the Odin code, which forces a full page reload.

This comment can be added in the `hiddenContent` property of the editor for embedded playgrounds.

## Limitations

- The `vendor` collection is not shipped: a program that imports a `vendor:` package will not find it.
- No threads, files, sockets or subprocesses: WASI preview 1 has none, and a program is given an empty filesystem.
- A program that never returns blocks the tab; both targets run synchronously.

Distinguish a blocked worker from a blocked tab.

If a wasi_wasm32 program never returns, it occupies the worker. It does not block the page's main thread. A non-returning js_wasm32 program can block the tab. State the limitation separately for each target. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @docs/docs/languages/odin-wasm.mdx at line 226:
Update the documentation statement about non-returning programs to distinguish
the two targets: clarify that wasi_wasm32 occupies its worker without blocking
the page’s main thread, while js_wasm32 can block the tab.

## Example Usage

```odin
package main

import "core:fmt"

main :: proc() {
fmt.println("hello from Odin, compiled in your browser")

for n in 1..=5 {
fmt.printfln("%d squared is %d", n, n * n)
}
}
```
