Kotlin kernel for Jupyter notebooks

Project description

JetBrains official project PyPI Anaconda Gradle plugin Maven Central GitHub Binder

Kotlin kernel for IPython/Jupyter

Kotlin (1.5.20-dev-4184) kernel for Jupyter.

Beta version. Tested with Jupyter Notebook 6.0.3, Jupyter Lab 1.2.6 and Jupyter Console 6.1.0 on Windows, Ubuntu Linux and macOS.

Screenshot in Jupyter

To start using Kotlin kernel for Jupyter take a look at introductory guide.

Example notebooks can be found in the samples folder

Try samples online: Binder

Installation

There are three ways to install the kernel:

Conda

If you have conda installed, just run the following command to install stable package version:

conda install -c jetbrains kotlin-jupyter-kernel (package home)

To install conda package from the dev channel:

conda install -c jetbrains-dev kotlin-jupyter-kernel (package home)

Uninstall: conda remove kotlin-jupyter-kernel

Pip

You can also install this package through pip:

Stable: pip install kotlin-jupyter-kernel (package home)

Dev: pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ kotlin-jupyter-kernel (package home)

Uninstall: pip uninstall kotlin-jupyter-kernel

From sources

git clone https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter.git
cd kotlin-jupyter
./gradlew install

Default installation path is ~/.ipython/kernels/kotlin/. To install to some other location use option -PinstallPath=, but note that Jupyter looks for the kernel specs files only in predefined places. For more detailed info see Jupyter docs.

Uninstall: ./gradlew uninstall

Troubleshooting

There could be a problem with kernel spec detection because of different python environments and installation modes. If you are using pip or conda to install the package, try running post-install fixup script:

python -m kotlin_kernel fix-kernelspec-location

This script replaces kernel specs to the "user" path where they are always detected. Don't forget to re-run this script on the kernel update.

Usage

  • jupyter console --kernel=kotlin
  • jupyter notebook
  • jupyter lab

To start using kotlin kernel inside Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab create a new notebook with kotlin kernel.

Supported functionality

REPL commands

The following REPL commands are supported:

  • :help - display help
  • :classpath - show current classpath

Dependencies resolving annotations

It is possible to add dynamic dependencies to the notebook using the following annotations:

  • @file:DependsOn(<coordinates>) - adds artifacts to classpath. Supports absolute and relative paths to class directories or jars, ivy and maven artifacts represented by the colon separated string
  • @file:Repository(<absolute-path>) - adds a directory for relative path resolution or ivy/maven repository. To specify Maven local, use @file:Repository("*mavenLocal").

Note that dependencies in remote repositories are resolved via Ivy resolver. Caches are stored in ~/.ivy2/cache folder by default. Sometimes, due to network issues or running several artifacts resolutions in parallel, caches may get corrupted. If you have some troubles with artifacts resolution, please remove caches, restart kernel and try again.

Default repositories

The following maven repositories are included by default:

Line Magics

The following line magics are supported:

  • %use - injects code for supported libraries: artifact resolution, default imports, initialization code, type renderers. Usage example: %use klaxon(5.0.1), lets-plot
  • %trackClasspath - logs any changes of current classpath. Useful for debugging artifact resolution failures.
  • %trackExecution - logs pieces of code that are going to be executed. Useful for debugging of libraries support.
  • %useLatestDescriptors - use latest versions of library descriptors available. By default, bundled descriptors are used. Usage example: %useLatestDescriptors -[on|off]
  • %output - output capturing settings. Usage example: %output --max-cell-size=1000 --no-stdout --max-time=100 --max-buffer=400
  • %logLevel - set logging level. Usage example: %logLevel [off|error|warn|info|debug]

See detailed info about line magics here.

Supported Libraries

When a library is included with %use keyword, the following functionality is added to the notebook:

  • repositories to search for library artifacts
  • artifact dependencies
  • default imports
  • library initialization code
  • renderers for special types, e.g. charts and data frames

This behavior is defined by json library descriptor. Descriptors for all supported libraries can be found in libraries directory. A library descriptor may provide a set of properties with default values that can be overridden when library is included. The major use case for library properties is to specify a particular version of library. If descriptor has only one property, it can be defined without naming:

%use krangl(0.10)

If library descriptor defines more than one property, property names should be used:

%use spark(scala=2.11.10, spark=2.4.2)

Several libraries can be included in single %use statement, separated by ,:

%use lets-plot, krangl, mysql(8.0.15)

You can also specify the source of library descriptor. By default, it's taken from the libraries directory of kernel installation. If you want to try descriptor from another revision, use the following syntax:

// Specify some git tag from this repository
%use lets-plot@0.8.2.5
// Specify commit sha, with more verbose syntax
%use lets-plot@ref[24a040fe22335648885b106e2f4ddd63b4d49469]
// Specify git ref along with library arguments
%use krangl@dev(0.10)

Other options are resolving library descriptor from a local file or from remote URL:

// Load library from file
%use mylib@file[/home/user/lib.json]
// Load library from file: kernel will guess it's a file actually
%use @/home/user/libs/lib.json
// Or use another approach: specify a directory and file name without 
// extension (it should be JSON in such case) before it
%use lib@/home/user/libs
// Load library descriptor from a remote URL
%use herlib@url[https://site.com/lib.json]
// If your URL responds with 200(OK), you may skip `url[]` part:
%use @https://site.com/lib.json
// You may omit library name for file and URL resolution:
%use @file[lib.json]

Rich output

By default, the return values from REPL statements are displayed in the text form. To use richer representations, e.g. to display graphics or html, it is possible to send MIME-encoded result to the client using the MIME helper function:

fun MIME(vararg mimeToData: Pair<String, Any>): MimeTypedResult 

E.g.:

MIME("text/html" to "<p>Some <em>HTML</em></p>", "text/plain" to "No HTML for text clients")

HTML outputs can also be rendered with HTML helper function:

fun HTML(text: String): MimeTypedResult

Autocompletion

Press TAB to get the list of suggested items for completion. In Jupyter Notebook, you don't need to press TAB, completion is requested automatically. Completion works for all globally defined symbols and for local symbols which were loaded into notebook during cells evaluation.

Error analysis

If you use Jupyter Notebook as Jupyter client, you will also see that compilation errors and warnings are underlined in red and in yellow correspondingly. This is achieved by kernel-level extension of Jupyter notebook which sends error-analysis requests to kernel and renders their results. If you hover the cursor over underlined text, you will get an error message which can help you to fix the error.

Debugging

  1. Run ./gradlew installDebug. Use option -PdebugPort= to specify port address for the debugger. Default port is 1044.
  2. Run jupyter-notebook
  3. Attach a remote debugger to JVM with specified port

Adding new libraries

Read this article if you want to support new JVM library in the kernel.

Documentation

There is a site with rendered KDoc comments from the codebase. If you are a library author you may be interested in api module (see adding new libraries). There is also a lib module which contains entities available from the Notebook cells and shared-compiler module which may be used for Jupyter REPL integration into standalone application or IDEA plugin.
