TypeGPU is a modular TypeScript toolkit for WebGPU that provides advanced type inference and lets developers write WGSL shaders directly in TypeScript. It acts as a thin, type-safe layer over the WebGPU API, supporting buffer schemas, shader generation, and compute pipelines while allowing granular ejection into vanilla WebGPU.

Use cases

• write webgpu shaders in typescript
• type-safe gpu buffer management in the browser
• generate wgsl code from typescript functions
• run gpgpu compute pipelines in web apps
• build interactive 3d graphics and custom shaders
• learn webgpu with fewer frustrations

When to choose

• you want type safety and better tooling when working with WebGPU/WGSL
• you're building GPU-accelerated web apps or compute workloads in TypeScript
• you want to write shaders in TypeScript and generate WGSL automatically
• you need a low-abstraction WebGPU layer that doesn't lock you in

When to avoid

• you target native GPU APIs like Vulkan or Metal rather than the web
• you need a full high-level 3D engine rather than a WebGPU toolkit
• your project doesn't use TypeScript or a WebGPU-capable browser
