Topic: wasmtime component linking

Hi, is there examples of linking two wasm component in the wasmtime?
In my example, 2nd component imports interface from 1st component.
first wit

package acme:first
interface first-service {
     hello: func(msg: string)
}

world first-world {
    export first-service
}

2nd wit depends on first

package acme:second
interface second-service {
     hello: drive()
}

world second-world {
   import first-service
    export second-service
}

I tried something like this:

....
let first_comp  = Component::from_file(&engine, &path1)?
let second_comp = Component::from_file(&engine, &path2)?;
let first_instance = linker.instantiate(&mut store, &first_comp)?;   // this works
let second_instance  =  linker.instantiate(&mut store, &second_comp)?;.  // this doesn't work

but result in error message something like
Error: import acme:first/first-service has the wrong type

Caused by:
0: instance export hello has the wrong type
1: expected func found nothing

nope, unlike the wasmtime module linker, the only thing the wasmtime component linker can do is link a component to host function definitions.

Pat Hickey (Sep 29 2023 at 23:55):

if you need to link components, we recommend you use wasm-tools compose or the wasm-compose crate

Got it. Linking thru compose works. Thanks
