    Works by default.

Firefox

  • For version 120 or later:

    Works by default.

Safari/WebKit

Wasm GC support is currently under active development.

Note: For more information about the browser versions, see the Troubleshooting documentation.

Build and run

To build and run the application:

  1. In IntelliJ IDEA, open the repository.

  2. Navigate to the browser-example project folder.

  3. Run the application by typing the following Gradle command in the terminal:

Once the application starts, open the following URL in your browser:

http://localhost:8080

Note: The port number can vary. If the port 8080 is unavailable, you can find the corresponding port number printed in the console after building the application.
