jupyterlab-browser-storage
A JupyterLab Drive to save files in the browser storage.
[!WARNING]
This is still a work-in-progress and some functionalities are not yet working as expected.
Context
This extension originates from the JupyterLite contents manager.
Requirements
Install
To install the extension, execute:
pip install jupyterlab_browser_storage
Uninstall
To remove the extension, execute:
pip uninstall jupyterlab_browser_storage
Contributing
Development install
Note: You will need NodeJS to build the extension package.
The jlpm
command is JupyterLab's pinned version of
yarn that is installed with JupyterLab. You may use
yarn
or npm
in lieu of jlpm
below.
pip install -e "."
jupyter labextension develop . --overwrite
jlpm build
You can watch the source directory and run JupyterLab at the same time in different terminals to watch for changes in the extension's source and automatically rebuild the extension.
jlpm watch
jupyter lab
With the watch command running, every saved change will immediately be built locally and available in your running JupyterLab. Refresh JupyterLab to load the change in your browser (you may need to wait several seconds for the extension to be rebuilt).
By default, the jlpm build
command generates the source maps for this extension to make it easier to debug using the browser dev tools. To also generate source maps for the JupyterLab core extensions, you can run the following command:
jupyter lab build --minimize=False
Development uninstall
pip uninstall jupyterlab_browser_storage
In development mode, you will also need to remove the symlink created by jupyter labextension develop
command. To find its location, you can run jupyter labextension list
to figure out where the labextensions
folder is located. Then you can remove the symlink named jupyterlab-browser-storage
within that folder.
Testing the extension
Integration tests
This extension uses Playwright for the integration tests (aka user level tests).
More precisely, the JupyterLab helper Galata is used to handle testing the extension in JupyterLab.
More information are provided within the ui-tests README.
