How does one use the latest sys.input functionality?

[justpankajdotcom]

Hi, thanks for supporting and maintaining this library.

I am having some trouble understanding the new developments going on with this project. Under the package directory, there are several packages starting from typst.ts, typst.react etc. What I understand is, typst.ts is the core package which has all the compiler implementation and the respective packages like typst.react and typst.vue is for facilitating rending in different frameworks. Is my understanding correct here?

Then there is another package which typst.node, only which has the latest changes like sys.input that typst has introduced. Is it like typst.node to be seen as replacement to typst.react and other packages? I am failing to understand why was the new package needed? And if possible, can you show a small snippet on how to use the sys.input functionality please? I am trying to replace values from user input inside the typst template. Thanks for the support.

My dev dependency -

"@myriaddreamin/typst-ts-web-compiler": "0.4.2-rc6"
  "@myriaddreamin/typst.ts": "0.4.2-rc6"

Hello, sys.input will land in typst v0.11.0, and currently we are on typst v0.10.0. After the next typst update, I'll update the document for you along with new APIs.

It is correct.

typst.node

It is a system-level node binding to typst compiler, it doesn't compile into wasm but native machine code, and it cannot run in browsers. I was considering merge typst.ts and typst.node, but I found the compiler API with/without system file system differs a lot, so I splitted them. I'm not sure whether I will merge them in future.
