Workaround for crossplatform loading of .wasm files

[zandaqo]

Hi guys,

I'm playing with compiling C++ libraries to WASM modules over here, it's been great so far, but the issue with loading .wasm from a different directory kills any attempt of making an npm package that can seamlessly work in both node and browsers. So I have two questions here:

1. Is there some accepted workaround to fix this?
2. How can I manually load the .wasm file and feed it to the module? Just setting Module.wasmBinary doesn't seem to work:

const fs = require('fs');
const wasm = require('./wasm.js');
wasm.wasmBinary = fs.readFileSync('./wasm.wasm');

Also, inlining wasm would probably be the simplest solution, can emcc do it?

Yeah, this is an annoying problem. There is a PR open for embedding it, #5296, which is one workaround. More discussion in #5104.

@kripken I guess I better wait for embedding then. Thank you, I'll close this issue in favor of #5104 then.
