hi everyone, i’m working on trying to get a compose/canvas project working. i’ve got a simple project that displays a hello world Text composable centered in a Box. running ./gradlew jsBrowserRun works fine. it opens to localhost:8080 and displays what I expect.

but i’m trying to figure out how to eventually embed this in a website. I thought that ./gradlew jsBrowserDistribution was the command I wanted, and then I could open foo/build/distributions/index.html locally and I should see the same result. but right now i’m just getting an empty screen.

i have a separate project that uses the compose/dom approach, and calling ./gradlew jsBrowserDistribution and navigating to foo/build/distributions/index.html works fine.

Is there a step I’m missing for the compose/canvas approach?

ok I checked the web console. seems this is a web assembly thing i don’t understand. but i guess it should work for a traditional web server.

It does work by just uploading the generated distribution files to a normal web server. You can find an example I created here: https://www.mpmediasoft.de/test/PolySpiralMpp/
