This is a simpe example on embedding wasm inside an offline single html page
// this code is from a simple add function in c:
//
// // hello.c
// int add(int a, int b) {
// return a + b;
// }
//
// compiles it with emcc (http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/)
// $ git clone https://github.com/juj/emsdk.git
// $ cd emsdk
// $ ./emsdk install latest
// $ ./emsdk activate latest
// $ source ./emsdk_env.sh --build=Release
//
// once installed:
//
// $ emcc hello.c -s ONLY_MY_CODE=1 -s WASM=1 -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS="['_add']" -o hello.js
//
// yes, not sure why we have to add '_' in front of the exported function.
// take the hello.wasm and serialize it to base64, e.g. using node
// const code = fs.readFileSync('./hello.wasm')
// code.toString('base64')
