Make the local version work fully offline! about algorithm-visualizer HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @parkjs814,
Thanks for the detail! It works!
I understand the aforementioned reason(s).
Regards!

I tried to download the two files and copy them in the src/backend/tracers/js/ folder, and changed the two importScripts('https://unpkg.com/....') lines to simply importScripts('file.js') but it fails.

Hi @Naereen, glad you are considering using it in your classes.

Since Web Worker is downloaded from the server and runs locally on browsers, you cannot use importScripts with relative paths. One way to run offline is to copy two script files under /src/frontend/static. Then, you can import those scripts which are served on http://localhost:8080/[script].js.

Considering not many users running it locally without an Internet connection, I decided to use unpkg.com to reduce traffic serving babel.min.js (~200KB). Actually, I am thinking of not using Babel anymore as almost all modern browsers support ES6. In that case, I will definitely consider making it run fully locally.
