Building Bindings

For the NAPI-RS based Node packages to work, and for their tests and benchmarks to run, they must be built first. This is done by running yarn build in the root directory. This will spin up a process that builds the Node/WASM binding crates (with Cargo), and then builds the rolldown npm package. The yarn build script is also smart enough to only re-build if it detects changes since the last time it was run.

yarn build accepts two flags:

• --no-wasm
• --release (important if running benchmarks)

In addition, the yarn watch script can be used to watch the file system for changes, and re-build the bindings and npm package when changes are detected (using the same process as yarn build). This is useful for development when you're constantly making changes and re-running tests.
