This is really amazing 👏 …we are using vega lite (https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/) on frontend and would love to move this one when we it’s ready to use on JS target. So, is there anything planned for JS target (not through compose/wasm) ?

[Andrei Kislitsyn]

@suresh Hi! Unfortunately, we are not going to support JS target. However, you can export any Kandy plot to HTML (or SVG if you don’t need interactivity). We would also be glad if you could create an issue with your usecase here https://github.com/Kotlin/kandy/issues.

Also, are you sure WASM won’t work for you?

[suresh]

@Andrei Kislitsyn thanks.. I will check the html export option. Yes, wasm would work. Can I use it with a Kotlin js app? Migrating other part of apps to compose-multiplatform (compose-web) is not an option now. So it's not an issue if Kandy uses canvas or wasm for rendering the plots and can easily integrate with a regular web app

For now, you can only save plot as .html file with https://github.com/Kotlin/kandy/blob/main/kandy-lets-plot/src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kandy/letsplot/export/save.kt, but in the next minor release we’ll add Plot.toHTML(): String extension.
