Observable JavaScript | Markdown

VS Code extension for Observable "JavaScript" and "Markdown". This extension would not have been possible without the following:

• ObservableHQ/parser
• ObservableHQ/runtime
• @hpcc-js/observable-md

Quick Start with Observable JavaScript | Markdown

1. Create a new file with either the .ojs or .omd extension.
2. Select "OJS: Import Notebook" from command palette.
3. Enter https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/a-taste-of-observable for the import URL.
4. Press Ctrl+K V to preview notebook.
5. Select "OJS: Export to HTML" from the command palette.
6. Double click the exported HTML file to view in browser (Note: You may need to host the file on a webserver if it is importing other libraries).

Commands

All commands are prefixed with "OJS" and are available via the command palette or by default shortcut key mappings

Settings

All settings are prefixed with "ojs." and are available via file -> preferneces -> settings menu
