@frontierkz/jupyterlab_commands v0.1.4

jupyterlab_commands

Support for arbitrary python commands in the command palette.

About

This code lets you inject arbitrary commands into the JLab frontend. There are a variety of reasons why one might want to execute python commands outside of a notebook and a console:

• a predefined NBConvert function that you dont want included in the converted result
• interacting with VCS without including that interaction in the notebook
• etc...

Example

jupyter_notebook_config.py

def convertMe(request, *args, **kwargs):
    import subprocess, tornado, os, os.path, json
    data = json.loads(tornado.escape.json_decode(request.body))
    path = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), data['path'])
    subprocess.run(["jupyter", "nbconvert", path, '--template', '/Users/theocean154/.jupyter/test.tpl', '--to', 'html'])
    return {'body': 'ok'}

c.JupyterLabCommands.commands = {'sample_command': convertMe}
