As you build larger Quarto projects (like websites and books) that incorporate OJS, you’ll likely want to re-use code, data, and output across different pages.

Modules
JavaScript modules are directly supported in Quarto’s OJS blocks. For example, if we have the following source file square.js:
export function square(x) {
  return x * x;
}
Then you can import and use the square() function as follows:

import { square } from "./square.js"
square(5)















Data
You may be using Python or R to pre-process data that is then provided to OJS via the ojs_define() function (this is described in more depth in the Data Sources article). If you want to share data prepared in this fashion you can import it directly from another .qmd.
For example, here we import the co2data that we read and pre-processed with dplyr in data-sources.qmd:

import { co2data } from "./data-sources.qmd";
Inputs.table(transpose(co2data))















Output
You can import any reactive value from another .qmd file. Here, we’re reusing a chart directly from data-sources.qmd:

import { yearlyChart } from "./data-sources.qmd";
yearlyChart
