Runtime: User Story: Developers can easily use NuGets with native libraries to build fast wasm projects

[marek-safar]

[WIP]

Developers would like to be able to easily consume NuGets for use in browser-wasm applications. NuGets which consist of managed libraries only are generally supported as long as they target net5.0+ and avoid APIs marked with the [UnsupportedOsPlatform("browser")] attribute. We need to go beyond that and support NuGet packages that include also native/unmanaged code targeting browser-wasm RID.

Work Items

• NuGet Packaging
  
  
  
  • [ ] Document structure expectations
  
  
  • [ ] ABI versioning
  
  
  • [ ] Source builds
  
  
• Tooling
  
  
  
  • [ ] Tooling installation (emscripten SDK)
  
  
  • [ ] Expose version requirements with LTS considerations
  
  
  • [ ] Run pinvoke generator on NuGet assemblies
  
  
  • [ ] Relink runtime with native code in build and publish

Specific libraries with native dependencies that we've heard customer interest in include SkiaSharp and Sqlite.
