Hello ! amazing :slight_smile: one question: let say I finish my awesome notebook with a nice viz as result. is there a way to save a .js file with the code ?

Folks, as you may have seen, we launched embeddable Observable notebooks this morning, and open-sourced the notebook-runtime . On your published (or shared) notebooks, you’ll now find “ES module” and “Download tarball” links, which provide the notebook compiled down to an ES module, with all of its …

@jashkenas export, runtime, and inspector worked great in my first test drive! Quick question about the export format: is looks like each variable in a module is represented as { inputs: [string], value: (...args) -> result }. Have you considered also including the (uncompiled) code from each vari…

It’s not quite the original code from each variable’s cell. The Observable compiler needs to parse out your free variables, to assign as inputs (arguments) to the function body, and convert views and mutables into pairs of variables that are referenced by name. For example: viewof chart becomes a $0 …

This is great—congrats! Here’s my feedback on the guide : Versioning Looks like the notebook’s version is now accessible via a header comment in the ES module: https://api.observablehq.com/@shaunlebron/humanae.js?key=adb6ec0cc0b5322d So we can use that to get a stable, versioned URL (e.g. 189): h…

Thanks for the edits @shaunlebron — updated!

Cool, might be worth clarifying how to get a version number though—the only way I know is through React Devtools (search Af > state.publishVersion), but the ES Module now exposes it in the header comment: // URL: https://beta.observablehq.com/@shaunlebron/humanae // Title: Humanæ // Author: Shaun …

Yes, we definitely need a better way to show (and perhaps name) versions in the UI. That will certainly be a part of the improved notebook history / branching work we’re tackling, but we may do something smaller in the interim as well.

On this topic, it is absolutely not obvious in UI that the “share” button freezes a certain version number as “being public”, which then impacts what the next menu item does.

(On this topic) I couldn’t agree more, @Fil . That pretty much tops my list of personal peeves and priorities.

[51] there’s no reason it wouldn’t work, but here it is…

What exactly are you hoping to use the uncompiled code for? Backups? @jashkenas I had two things in mind: Backups. Moving code into my own editor, for use as a non-Observable-based project (thinking of cases where code’s spread across enough notebooks/cells that copy-pasting from the UI is inco…
