Publishing My First Rust npm Package (@seucra/matrix-sdk-bridge)

Introduction

Publishing a package to npm is a common milestone for JavaScript developers. However, publishing an npm package written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly introduces a completely different set of tooling, cross-compilation target considerations, and TypeScript definition generation.

Recently, I published @seucra/matrix-sdk-bridge—the extracted WebAssembly wrapper around matrix-sdk used by Vigilant.

This post documents the exact workflow, build scripts, pitfalls, and lessons learned during the publishing process.
