You can use tools like wasm-pack to streamline your development. Install it using cargo install wasm-pack. After that, you can create a new project with wasm-pack new my-project. Would you like to know how to build and run your project?

Yes, how do I build and run it?

To build your project, navigate to your project directory and run wasm-pack build. This will compile your Rust code to WebAssembly. You can then serve it using a local server. Would you like recommendations for local servers?
