No more static graphics! Each primitive of
Graphics/Graphics3Dwas recreated from scratch usingd3.jsandTHREE.jslibraries. Most native plotting function of Mathematica are supported -
-
Autocomplete for user's defined symbols
-
-
Math in code, equation support, various decorations, syntax sugar for dates, colors...
-
-
-
Full dynamics evaluation support. GUI building blocks are also included
-
-
-
Native integration of HTML, Markdown, Javascript, OpenAI GPT assistant ... cells. Possibillity of usage multiple languages within one notebook
-
Export to a standalone
.htmlfile feature (keeps some part of interactivity still possible) -
Extensibility using external JS libraries, WL plugins
-
Markdown-based data-driven slides
-
-
WLJS Notebook runs locally and belongs to You (no cloud-based stuff involved). No internet connection is needed.
The idea is to implement a minimalistic, but easily extendable, opensource lightweight notebook interface with syntax sugar, interactive objects for freeware Wolfram Engine.
There is no aim to copy Mathematica (it will never be possible), however, there is a few things, which can be improved
- stabillity and speed
- independency from WRI
- portabillity (not PDF) - easy to share you work with someone outside the ecosystem keeping you graphics interactive or embeb on a website
- event-based approach to dynamics - allow user to build complex dynamic notebooks and to have a clear control over all moving parts
- natural bridge between other languages - use HTML as a markup, WL for computations, and JS for stunning visuals
This is quite simple. All that you need is
the rest will be downloaded via the internet.
Use prebuilt binaries from Releases section
Clone this repository and run
wolframscript -f Scripts/run.wlsA message with a local address http://xxxx:xxxx will appear in the console. Open this address in your browser
Frontend uses its own package/plugin system. It doent require any software installed except wolframscript. Precompiled plugins are downloaded using URLFetch from github repositories and imported to the system. They can extend core or UI or standard library. The following packages are available (already included as default plugins and will be downloaded automatically)
- wljs-interpreter - WL interpreter written in JS is a core component, that controls UI, draw graphics, manage states (bridges WL and WEB). Can be used as a standalone library for building web apps
- wljs-editor - cells editor based on CodeMirror 6
- wljs-inputs - io library that provides sliders, textboxes for buuilding simple GUI in the notebook
- wljs-graphics3d-threejs - library for
Graphics3Dbased on Three.js. Can also be used as a standalone plugin together withwljs-interpreter - wljs-graphics-d3 implementation of
Graphicsfunction and primitives based ond3.jsandplotly.js. Can be used separately - wljs-mermaid-support support for Mermaid.js diagrams language
- wljs-markdown-support support for markdown language
- wljs-magic-support misc useful features for the editor
- wljs-js-support support for JS cells in the editor with data-binding between WL and JS
- wljs-html-support support for HTML language in the cells with a template engine WSP
- Wolfram Engine as HTTP Server, IO operator, DB manager and etc
- WLJS interpreter for graphics, internal commands, events handing, lightweight calculations
- CodeMirror 6 as a cell's editor
- d3.js, plotly.js for 2D Graphics
- three.js for 3D Graphics
- mermaid.js for diagrams
- reveal.js for slides
- marked.js *for markdown *
- katex.js as $\LaTeX$ renderer
- layout is a rip off from Notion
