re_web_viewer_server

Part of the rerun family of crates.

Serves the Rerun web viewer (re_viewer as Wasm and HTML) over HTTP.

When developing, you must run pixi run rerun-build-web (or pixi run rerun-build-web-release), before building this package. This is done automatically with pixi run rerun-web.

Embedding modes

By default, web viewer assets are embedded at compile time using include_bytes!.

When built with RERUN_TRAILING_WEB_VIEWER=1, the assets are expected to be appended to the binary via a post-processing step using scripts/append_web_viewer.py. This allows parallel building of CLI and web viewer in CI. Binaries built this way will panic if used before the post-processing step completes.
