IJavascript
IJavascript is an npm
package that implements a
Javascript kernel for the Jupyter notebook (formerly
known as IPython notebook). A Jupyter
notebook combines the creation of rich-text documents (including equations,
graphs and videos) with the execution of code in a number of programming
languages.
The execution of code is carried out by means of a kernel that implements the IPython/Jupyter messaging protocol. There are kernels available for Python, Julia, Ruby, Haskell and many other languages.
Main Features
- Run Javascript code within a
node.js
session - Hello, World!
- Graphical
output for
HTML
