Dependency only for proc-macros

[pale sigil]

I have a proc-macro that uses a crate which will not compile for WASM. Its expansion does not rely on the crate at all, it just results in a string literal. I want to use the macro in a WASM project im building. I would assume that because the proc-macro only runs on my machine at build time, it doesn't need to be a dependency when building for WASM? What is the best way of going about this?

i mean yeah

it should work

~~until all proc macros are compiled to WASM anyway ~~

[weary yarrow]

your wasm package will need a regular dependency on the proc macro crate, but when that proc macro crate is compiled it (and its dependencies) will be compiled for the host and not the target

so nothing special is needed, unless you have something else going on
