jupyterlab-wipp-plugin-creator 0.1.0

Create WIPP container for local python code

JupyterLab WIPP Plugin Creator extension

Enter your plugin information, select the code you wish to containerize, create WIPP plugin automatically.

This extension is composed of a Python package named jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator for the server extension and a NPM package named jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator for the frontend extension.

Requirements

• JupyterLab >= 3.0

Install

To install the extension, execute:

pip install jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator
export WIPP_API_INTERNAL_URL="enter wipp api url"
export PLUGIN_TEMP_PATH="enter the path to temprorary plugins folder"

Note that all paths above should be absolute.

• WIPP_API_INTERNAL_URL is the internal URL of WIPP API (usually internal URL on Kubernetes cluster).
• PLUGIN_TEMP_PATH is the local path to WIPP's temp/plugins folder, where the source, manifest and build dependecies are copied to.

Uninstall

To remove the extension, execute:

pip uninstall jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator

Troubleshoot

If you are seeing the frontend extension, but it is not working, check that the server extension is enabled:

jupyter server extension list

If the server extension is installed and enabled, but you are not seeing the frontend extension, check the frontend extension is installed:

jupyter labextension list

Contributing

Architecture

Current features:

• Right click on file 'Add to WIPP' to mark code to mark code for containerization.
• On click of 'Create Plugin' button, Post API request containing user input is sent over to the backend.
• Session persistent frontend database to store paths to marked files using IStateDB.
• Create plugin.json, dockerfile, requirements.txt based on inputs.
• Register plugin automatically on WIPP CI https://wipp-ui.ci.aws.labshare.org/plugins.
• Create temp staging folder with random ID and copy selected codes inside.

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.

# Clone the repo to your local environment
# Change directory to the jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator directory
# Install package in development mode
pip install -e .
# Link your development version of the extension with JupyterLab
jupyter labextension develop . --overwrite
# Server extension must be manually installed in develop mode
jupyter server extension enable jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator
# Rebuild extension Typescript source after making changes
jlpm run build

Manually fix the bug in @deathbeds/jupyterlab-rjsf to make formData work

1. Open jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator/node_modules/@deathbeds/jupyterlab-rjsf/lib/schemaform/model.js
2. Add to line 13

if (props) {
    this.props = props;
    if (props.formData) {
        this.formData = props.formData;
    }
}

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.

# Watch the source directory in one terminal, automatically rebuilding when needed
jlpm run watch
# Run JupyterLab in another terminal
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 run 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

# Server extension must be manually disabled in develop mode
jupyter server extension disable jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator
pip uninstall jupyterlab_wipp_plugin_creator

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_wipp_plugin_creator within that folder.
