fs/system apis
i see there's some fs module but I can't figure how to use. are fs/system apis supported in any way? what about running in a nodejs context? also what about CORS?
In general if you:
import {xxx} from "@yyy/zzz";
... OR ...
data = FileAttachment("athletes.csv").csv({typed: true})
It will resolve back to ObservableHQ.com
But if you use relative paths:
import {xxx} from "./otherNotebook.ojsnb";
... OR ...
data = FileAttachment("./data/athletes.csv").csv({typed: true})
It will resolve locally.
Finally you can use "fetch" to get local files with relative paths or full URLs to get remote ones.
You can also access all Observable StdLib functions: https://github.com/observablehq/stdlib
in ojb/omd preview neither local or remote fetch works, local throws permission error and remote cors errors. FileAttachment works but you can't glob/list directories. unlocking net/fs/system apis will definitely make this project way more useful. have you tried mixing electron renderer+node integration with @hpcc-js/observable-md? about to try myself as this has same limitations as https://github.com/asg017/dataflow
Sorry - I assumed you were using the ObservableJS Notebook feature (create a file with a ".ojsnb" file extension)...
If you give me a code snippet as an example, I will see what I can come up with - it should be relativly easy enough to find a workaround with the built in preview, but when exported to a standalone html page then you will be at the mercy of the usual CORs rules between hosting web server and API server.
@knoopx FYI @hpcc-js/observable-md is being deprecated soon, you should switch to @hpcc-js/obersvablehq-compiler
