Embed to express app #445

Hey @antirek,
We've been talking about creating a better embedded experience for Evidence, so it's great to hear that it's something you're trying to do. Can you give me a better idea of what it is you're trying to achieve:
- Embed specific components from an Evidence project into your express app (eg Charts, Tables, Text snippets etc).
- Compile "Evidence flavoured markdown" pages into HTML that you can insert as pages in your express app.
- Something else?
If the answer is 2, then there may be a way to achieve that today:
Evidence uses SvelteKit, and compiles "Evidence Markdown" in the following way
- SQL queries are extracted and run against your database, and stored in js objects.
- Markdown is rendered into HTML pages. Any components are populated with data from the js objects.
- If you run
npm run buildthen static HTML pages are generated. Though I haven't done it myself I believe these could be served by an express app
If the answer is 1, then we don't have a way to achieve that well today, but it's definitely on our to-do list!
