Combining React with sql.js can create powerful applications that leverage both the efficiency of a JavaScript UI library and the flexibility of in-browser SQL database management. In this guide, we’ll demonstrate how you can set up your project using a template repository that employs create-react-app. Let’s dive in!

Setting Up Your Project

The primary distinction between a standard create-react-app setup and our template lies in two key areas:

• Utilization of craco to allow for a custom webpack configuration.
• A custom webpack configuration defined in craco.config.js, which ensures that the WebAssembly (WASM) module from sql.js gets copied correctly into the distributed assets.

Configuration Steps

Here’s a simplified approach to integrating sql.js into your React application:

1. Begin by cloning the repository provided for the demonstration.
2. Ensure you have craco integrated into your project to handle the custom webpack configuration.
3. Modify craco.config.js to make sure it appropriately copies the WASM module to your build directory.
4. Check src/App.js for the code implementation that utilizes sql.js.

Common Errors and Troubleshooting

When deploying your application, you might encounter the following error message:

TypeError: Response has unsupported MIME type

This error typically arises if the server serving your application does not handle the .wasm file with the proper MIME type. To resolve this:

• Ensure your server is configured to serve .wasm files with the MIME type: application/wasm.
• If you’re using a local development server, check its documentation on how to add custom MIME types.
