Notebook JS/TS

An interactive coding environment for JavaScript (and Typescript), resembling Jupyter Notebook. The app allows the user to create code or text snippets, execute code and view the output in a preview window. Code transpiling+bundling is performed directly in the browser using Web Assembly, via ESBuild, and all changes are saved to a local file, which is served via a CLI.

install: npm install notebook-js-ts

Available CLI Commands:

start notebook-js-ts server with npx:

npx notebook-js-ts serve

A mynotes.js file is created by default under the root directory, saving your changes. Navigate to http://localhost:4005 to view it in the browser.

When installed globaly, these commands are available on the terminal:

notebook-js-ts serve

Serving a specific file (optional):

notebook-js-ts serve <file-name>

Serving file on a specific port (4045 is the default):

notebook-js-ts serve --port <port-number>

or:

notebook-js-ts serve -p <port-number>

Using Notebook JS/TS:

• Two types of cells are available for your use - text cells and code cells.
• Click inside a text cell to edit it via markdown syntax.
• Code cells accept code written in js/ts/jsx/tsx. Switch between JS and TS by selecting language on the top left corner (JS is defualt).
• Use the built-in show() function to view the code output in the preview pane.
• You may import libraries and execute React.js components.
• Each code cell has the option to auto-format or clear cell content.
• Comulutive bundling is enabled between successive code cells.
• Re-order, duplicate, copy content or delete cells using the buttons on the top right.
• Add new cells by clicking the +code / +text buttons.
