This plugin for Apache Airflow allows you to edit DAGs directly within your browser, providing a seamless and efficient workflow for managing your pipelines. Offering a user-friendly file management interface within designated directories, it facilitates effortless editing, uploading, and downloading of files. With Git support enabled, DAGs are stored in a Git repository, enabling users to explore Git history, review local modifications, and commit changes.
For the ease of deployment, use the production-ready reference container image. The image is based on the reference images for Apache Airflow.
You can find the following images there:
pip install airflow-code-editor
black - Black Python code formatter
isort - A Python utility/library to sort imports
fs-s3fs - S3FS Amazon S3 Filesystem
fs-gcsfs - Google Cloud Storage Filesystem

Airflow Code Editor provides a REST API. Through this API, users can interact with the application programmatically, enabling automation, data retrieval, and integration with other software.
For detailed information on how to use each endpoint, refer to the API documentation.
The API authentication is inherited from the Apache Airflow.
If you want to check which auth backend is currently set, you can use
airflow config get-value api auth_backends command as in the example below.
$ airflow config get-value api auth_backends
airflow.api.auth.backend.basic_auth
For details on configuring the authentication, see API Authorization.
