ripgrep-node

This `ripgrep` npm package provides the powerful command-line utility `ripgrep` in a fully cross-platform, dependency-free manner by compiling it to WebAssembly (WASM). As of version 0.3.1, it offers programmatic access to `ripgrep`'s core functionality, suitable for Node.js, Bun, Deno, and even bundler-friendly browser environments without requiring native binaries or post-install scripts. The package embeds the WASM module as a z85+brotli encoded string and leverages WASI for execution, defaulting to Node.js's built-in `node:wasi` for optimal performance when available. Its key differentiator is providing `ripgrep`'s capabilities entirely within the JavaScript ecosystem, making it a drop-in programmatic replacement for native `ripgrep` spawns, with the WASM module dynamically cached to the OS temp directory for subsequent fast access.
