SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds interactive web applications by combining HTML/JavaScript interfaces with MATLAB computational backends via the uihtml component, enabling browser-based UIs powered by MATLAB calculations.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified UI with MATLAB processing: Create responsive front-ends (forms, dashboards) that call MATLAB computations directly.
  • Bidirectional communication patterns: Use MATLAB→JS data properties, JavaScript→MATLAB events, and custom events for real-time interactivity.
  • Security and best practices: Guidelines for HTML source handling, input validation, and robust error handling in UI apps.

Quick Start

Open MATLAB and run the built-in example to launch a sample uihtml app that demonstrates HTML/JavaScript UI connected to MATLAB backend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a web UI in MATLAB using HTML and JavaScript?

You can build a web UI in MATLAB by using the uihtml component to embed HTML/JavaScript interfaces that communicate directly with MATLAB computational backends. This enables browser-based front-ends for forms and dashboards powered by MATLAB calculations.

How does data exchange work between a JavaScript frontend and a MATLAB backend?

Data exchange between JavaScript and MATLAB uses bidirectional communication: MATLAB-to-JS data properties, JavaScript-to-MATLAB events, and custom events. This supports real-time interactivity and responsive layouts within your web app.

Can I create interactive dashboards in MATLAB with a browser-based frontend?

Yes, you can create interactive dashboards by combining HTML/JavaScript front-ends with MATLAB processing via the uihtml component. This allows you to build responsive browser UIs that call MATLAB computations directly for form-based tools and data visualization.

What are the best practices for securing HTML source and input validation in MATLAB web apps?

Securing MATLAB web apps involves following guidelines for HTML source handling, input validation, and robust error handling. These practices ensure secure bidirectional communication between the JavaScript frontend and MATLAB backend processing.

How do I launch a sample uihtml app in MATLAB to learn the communication patterns?

To launch a sample uihtml app, open MATLAB and run the built-in example. This demonstrates an HTML/JavaScript UI connected to a MATLAB backend, showing the bidirectional data properties and events used for real-time interactivity.
