Wick is a runtime for running and composing WebAssembly components together as full applications. Wick is built With ❤️, Rust, and Wasm.

We built wick because we wanted a secure, fast, functional framework that used WebAssembly as its core component model. We wanted to build applications and libraries that could run on the server, client, and everywhere else. We needed it to be async first, streaming, and not rely on external systems. Suprisingly, nothing like this existed, so we built it.

If you:

• Like functional programming ideas.
• Want to write code once and use it the same way everywhere.
• Like security baked into your applications.
• Have built enough software to recognize everyone is solving the same problems.
• Play on the bleeding edge of technology.

Then Wick is for you.

Online demos of Wick in action:

• Text generation
• Text redaction
• Object detection
• Resume Refining SAAS

You'll need the wick binary to run Wick applications or invoke Wick components. You can install it with one of the following methods:

Pick your installation preference:

1. Cargo
2. Homebrew
3. Pre-built binaries
4. Install from source

cargo install wick-cli

brew install candlecorp/tap/wick

curl -sSL sh.wick.run | bash

curl https://ps.wick.run -UseBasicParsing | Invoke-Expression

git clone https://github.com/candlecorp/wick.git && cd wick
just deps # install necessary dependencies
just install # or cargo install --path .

Wick's original WebAssembly component protocol uses RSocket to support complex, rich streams in WebAssembly.

Wick supports varying degrees of the standard WebAssembly component model and will continue to support more as the specification stabilizes.

To build a WebAssembly component

• Clone the template with cargo generate (or git clone)
• Build & sign it with just build
• Execute your new library component with wick invoke

$ cargo generate candlecorp/wick templates/rust --name my-project
$ cd my-project
$ just build
$ wick invoke component.wick greet -- --input="$USER"
{"payload":{"value":"Hello, jsoverson"},"port":"output"}

Check out the WebAssembly tutorial to learn more and go from here.

We're always adding examples to the ./examples directory, which we also use as a base for our integration tests.
