Who is this presentation for?

  • Software engineers

Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with Jupyter extensions and JupyterLab architecture (useful but not required)

What you'll learn

  • Understsand JupyterLab's architecture, the capabilities and limitations of different extension types, and effective ways to design and combine extensions to build custom JupyterLab solutions

Description

As the next-generation user interface for Project Jupyter, JupyterLab is at its core an extensible environment. JupyterLab extensions can be created to modify themes, menu items, and keyboard shortcuts, as well as broader-scoped extensions, like ipywidgets that bring additional functionality like interactive HTML widgets to the notebook. JupyterLab extensions in turn can be extended and provide APIs and dependencies for other extensions.

Stephanie Stattel and Paul Ivanov discuss the evolution of the JupyterLab architecture, which is itself simply a collection of extensions that can be customized to create tailored, opinionated Jupyter environments, and walk you through a series of JupyterLab extensions that demonstrate the power and flexibility of this new architecture. For each example, they highlight the relative complexity and stability of the extension itself. They also explore how different extensions can be combined to create customized environments.

Topics include:

  • Menu customization
  • Layout customization
  • Theming customization
  • File browser customization
  • Extension enablement and management
