Does viewof() work in Notebook Kit?

[Lucas-Kohorst]

I downloaded a notebook with notebooks download that was using viewof() to which I get TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0'.

My ideal workflow is

• create notebooks in the cloud platform
• have a ci routinely poll for new notebooks
• build them into my notebook kit site

Yes, it should work. Can you share your code, or a reproduction?

Here is an example that works in an Observable JavaScript cell:

viewof foo = Inputs.range([0, 100], {step: 1, label: "Foo"})

Of course, we highly recommend migrating to vanilla JavaScript, which would be:

const foo = view(Inputs.range([0, 100], {step: 1, label: "Foo"}));
