Add WebAssembly ESM integration (aka. Webpack's `asyncWebAssembly`) to Vite and support `wasm-pack` generated modules.

## Installation

This plugin supports from Vite 2.x to 6.x. Just install it:

```bash
yarn add -D vite-plugin-wasm
```

## Usage

You also need the `vite-plugin-top-level-await` plugin unless you target very modern browsers only (i.e. set `build.target` to `esnext`).

```typescript
import wasm from "vite-plugin-wasm";
import topLevelAwait from "vite-plugin-top-level-await";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    wasm(),
    topLevelAwait()
  ]
});
```

If you are getting ESBuild errors of WASM files (In the format `No loader is configured for ".wasm" files: node_modules/somepackage/somefile.wasm`) with **Vite < 3.0.3**, please upgrade your Vite to **>= 3.0.3 or upgrade this plugin to >= 3.1.0**. A workaround is adding the corresponding imported module within `node_modules` to `optimizeDeps.exclude`, e.g.:

```typescript
export default defineConfig({
  optimizeDeps: {
    exclude: [
      "@syntect/wasm"
    ]
  }
});
```

## Web Worker

To use this plugin in Web Workers. Add it (and `vite-plugin-top-level-await` if necessary) to `worker.plugins`. To support Firefox, don't use ES workers. leave `worker.format` default and use `vite-plugin-top-level-await` >= 1.4.0 (see also [here](https://github.com/Menci/vite-plugin-top-level-await#workers)):

```ts
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    wasm(),
    topLevelAwait()
  ],
  worker: {
    // Not needed with vite-plugin-top-level-await >= 1.3.0
    // format: "es",
    plugins: [
      wasm(),
      topLevelAwait()
    ]
  }
});
```

# Notes

TypeScript typing is broken. Since we can't declare a module with `Record<string, any>` as its named export map. Your `import ... from "./module.wasm";` will still got Vite's bulit-in typing, but the transformed code is fine. So just use an asterisk import `import * as wasmModule from "./module.wasm"` and type assertion (you have typing for your WASM files, right?).
