Using WASI interfaces from TypeScript

Golem implements and exports a subset of the WASI (opens in a new tab) interfaces, as well as its own runtime interfaces.

The Golem TypeScript SDK provides idiomatic wrappers on a subset of these interfaces, but it is also possible to use the generated bindings directly.

WIT specifications

The full set of WIT specifications Golem implements is available in the following public repository:

https://github.com/golemcloud/golem-wit/tree/main/wit/deps (opens in a new tab)

The following table lists all packages provided by Golem:

Additional Golem runtime APIs

This section describes Golem-specific functionalities which are available through the Golem runtime API but does not have an idiomatic Go wrapper in the golem-ts library yet.
