Using Penrose with a Bundler

First install the package:

shell
npm i @penrose/core
shell
yarn add @penrose/core

core contains some browser-only dependencies (e.g. MathJax for rendering equations). If using Node, we recommend using global-jsdom to shim them.

ts
import "global-jsdom/register"; // must come before the Penrose import
import * as Penrose from "@penrose/core";

Use JavaScript modules to import functions from @penrose/core. Use either a CDN that supports ES modules (e.g. JSPM) or a bundler (e.g. vite). For example, run the following to set up starter project with vite:

shell
yarn create vite
cd vite-project
yarn add @penrose/core

In index.html:

html
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <body>
    <div id="penrose-diagram"></div>
    <script type="module" src="/main.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

In main.js:

js
import * as Penrose from "@penrose/core";
Penrose.diagram(
  {
    substance: `
  Set A, B
  Subset(A, B)
  `,
    style: `
  canvas {
      width = 400
      height = 400
  }
  forall Set s {
      s.shape = Circle {}
      ensure lessThan(20, s.shape.r)
  }
  forall Set s1, s2
  where Subset(s1, s2) {
      ensure contains(s2.shape, s1.shape)
      s2.shape above s1.shape
  }
  `,
    domain: `type Set
  predicate Subset(Set, Set)`,
    variation: "",
  },
  document.getElementById("penrose-diagram"),
  async () => undefined,
);

Finally, run the following to see the output:

shell
yarn dev
