I have been working on am improved %%javascript cell magic and I wanted to run the idea by others to gauge interest. The existing %%javascript magic uses eval on a string of JavaScript code. While this works, it is relatively difficult to load external JavaScript packages and it is awkward to work with the DOM. I have developed a prototype with the following features:
type=module. This allows users to directly import modules from CDNs that support modules, such as Skypack.display function that takes a React element, native DOM element or list of thereof and renders it into the output of that cell.The result of all this is that a user can write code that looks like the following:
%%typescript display(<h1>Hello World</h1>);
And it will "just work". I would propose that this improved magic replaces the existing javascript magic. We might also want to have multiple variants that handle plain javascript, typescript, etc. At this point, I mostly want to get feedback on this directly to see if there is interest in this being in IPython. Here are a couple of example of this in action:
pnsvk, LeaveNhA, yumemio, antononcube, nickserv and 3 moreecharles, pnsvk, dbunskoek, BrainAnnex and brendanmatkin
