Note! This functionality is now implemented in quarto.
This Julia package provides a single function ojs_define to share data from a julia cell with an ojs cell in a Quarto notebook.
Within a notebook load the package and provide data to an ojs cell using keyword arguments. The name of the argument will be the variable name.
```{julia}
using OJSDefine
ojs_define(a="some string data")
```
```{ojs}
a
```
"some string data"
OJSDefine.jl supports all data types that can be parsed to json via JSON3. In addition all data types implementing the Tables.jl interface (such as DataFrames) are supported.
```{julia}
using OJSDefine, DataFrames
df = DataFrame(a=randn(100), b=randn(100))
ojs_define(data=df)
```
```{ojs}
Plot.plot({
grid: true,
marks: [
Plot.dot(df, {
x: "a",
y: "b"
})
]
})
```
