Use it to programmatically read and write `.mag`, `.gds`, `.cif`, `.ext`, and

The package ships two variants:
|
||||
|
||||
| Variant | Entry point | Description |
|
||||
|---------|-------------|-------------|
|
||||
| **notcl** (default) | `magic-vlsi-wasm` | Standalone — no Tcl interpreter. Commands are plain Magic command strings. |
|
||||
| **tcl** | `magic-vlsi-wasm/tcl` | Embeds a full Tcl 9 interpreter. Commands are evaluated as Tcl; Magic commands are available as the `::magic::` ensemble. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Install
|
||||
|
||||
The package is published to GitHub Packages. Add the following to your
|
||||
project's `.npmrc` so npm knows where to find it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
@rtimothyedwards:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then install:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install magic-vlsi-wasm
|
||||
npm install @rtimothyedwards/magic-vlsi-wasm
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the package is private or you hit a 401, authenticate with a GitHub
|
||||
[personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) that has the
|
||||
`read:packages` scope:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
//npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=YOUR_TOKEN
|
||||
@rtimothyedwards:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com
|
||||
```
|
||||

Requires Node.js 18 or newer.

### TCL variant
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
import createMagic from 'magic-vlsi-wasm/tcl';
|
||||
|
||||
const { runCommand, FS } = await createMagic();

// Magic commands are available as the ::magic:: ensemble

The `scmos` technology family (`scmos`, `minimum`, `nmos`, ...) is embedded in
|

the WASM binary and available out of the box — those names work without
|

writing any tech file. To use a custom technology, write its `.tech` file into

You will need an activated [emsdk](https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html)
|
||||
checkout (Magic pins emsdk `3.1.56` — see the comment in `npm/build.sh`).
|
||||
on your PATH. If you pass `EMSDK_DIR=/path/to/emsdk`, `build.sh` sources
|
||||
`emsdk_env.sh` for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### TCL variant: cloning the TCL source tree
|
||||
|
||||
The TCL variant links against a static WASM build of
|
||||
[tcltk/tcl](https://github.com/tcltk/tcl), pinned to a specific commit in
|
||||
[`npm/tcl.ref`](tcl.ref). `build.sh` clones the source tree automatically
|
||||
into a `../tcl` sibling directory on the first run:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Override the default clone location
|
||||
TCL_REPO=/path/to/existing/tcl bash npm/build.sh --variant=tcl
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Updating the pinned TCL version
|
||||
|
||||
Edit [`npm/tcl.ref`](tcl.ref) and set `TCL_REF` to the desired commit SHA or
|
||||
tag, then commit and push. CI will rebuild and republish automatically on the
|
||||
next version tag.
