Is there something like dlopen for Wasm?

[untold briar]

I want to support loading user plugins even when running in the browser.

Apparently there's
https://github.com/geofmureithi/plugy
which, although barely documented, seems to support dynamically loading from arbitrary wasm binaries specified at runtime

Gotta try it out, I guess.

[untold briar]

nope, it uses wasmtime, not suitable for use in the browser.

Did you find a solution? I am the creator of the lib. I am open to working to support browsers.

you just have to use https://docs.rs/js-sys/latest/js_sys/WebAssembly/index.html no
