Question, how to make a standalone excalidraw

Disclaimer: I am not a JS or CSS developer, I have a bare understanding of React framework, or build tools like yarn.

What I’d like is the ability to open a local index.html with Excalidraw (an offline version). But I have some difficulty to piece things together. The context of this is to load excalidraw in a Chrominium Embedded frame (JCEF) for an IntelliJ plugin.

I wanted to test what is described here : https://www.npmjs.com/package/@excalidraw/excalidraw#in-browser

<script
  type="text/javascript"
  src="https://unpkg.com/@excalidraw/excalidraw@0.8.0/dist/excalidraw.development.js"
></script>

This is likely wrong, as nothing happens.

I can probably use whatever is built from the yarn directive in the dockerfile:

https://github.com/excalidraw/excalidraw/blob/6dee02e32062057cb5b18702f0b5fe1a3ef571fd/Dockerfile#L15

But isn’t there a better / simpler alternative ? A prebuilt lib like the one on unpkg ?

Thnaks in advance

@bric3 the API doesn’t expose loadFromBlob hence you are getting the above error. We don’t support Importing images yet.

But we do embed scene data if “Embed scene” is checked as shown below (this will increase your export file size)

We will be exposing loadFromBlob as well very soon, there is a similar request here as well post which you will be able to use it.

Not at all. Thx for the pointer ! @ad1992
