Generates a navigable book-like structure to a collection of jupyter notebooks
Project description
NBBinder - Jupyter Notebook Binder
NBBinder generates a navigable book-like structure to a collection of Jupyter notebooks.
Table of Contents
Description
The main function in this module is called bind()
. It reads a collection of Jupyter notebooks from a given directory and, upon configuration,
-
adds a table of contents to a selected notebook file, with links to the other notebooks;
-
adds a header cell to each notebook, with custom information about the collection of notebooks;
-
adds a badge cell to each notebook, with links to opening the notebooks in different platforms or formats. For instance, one can include a Google Colab badge and a Binder badge, with links to opening each notebook in these cloud computing plataforms, a badge for showing slides as exported with
nbconvert
, and so on. -
adds navigator links, at the beggining and at the end of each notebook, with links to traverse to the previous and the next notebook, and to other selected notebooks, such as the Table of Contents and the References;
-
exports the notebooks to other formats using
nbconvert
, so that, for example, slides can be generated automatically and in bulk.
Example
The most convenient way to use the module, or script, is via a configuration file. The configuration files are written in the YAML format.
Example configuration file
For instance, consider the following config_nb_alice.yml
, which is included in the tests
folder of the repository:
# Configuration file for the python module NBBinder
version: 0.12a
path_to_notes: nb_builds/nb_alice
contents:
toc_nb_name: 00.00-Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland.ipynb
toc_title: Table of Contents
show_index_in_toc: True
header: "NBBinder test on a collection of notebooks named after the chapters of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'"
navigators:
core_navigators:
- 00.00-Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland.ipynb
show_nb_title_in_nav: False
show_index_in_nav: False
Notebook collection
The following collection of indexed notebooks is built in the folder tests/nb_builds/nb_alice
:
00.00-Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland.ipynb
01.00-Down_the_Rabbit-Hole.ipynb
02.00-The_Pool_of_Tears.ipynb
03.00-A_Caucus-Race_and_a_Long_Tale.ipynb
04.00-The_Rabbit_Sends_in_a_Little_Bill.ipynb
05.00-Advice_from_a_Caterpillar.ipynb
06.00-Pig_and_Pepper.ipynb
07.00-A_Mad_Tea-Party.ipynb
08.00-The_Queen's_Croquet-Ground.ipynb
09.00-The_Mock_Turtle's_Story.ipynb
10.00-The_Lobster_Quadrille.ipynb
11.00-Who_Stole_the_Tarts?.ipynb
12.00-Alice's_Evidence.ipynb
Binding the collection
One way to bind the collection of notebooks is to import the module and use the bind()
function with this configuration file as argument:
import nbbinder as nbb
nbb.bind('config_nb_alice.yml')
Or we execute it as a script in the command line:
./nbbinder.py config_nb_alice.yml
In the tests
directory, the configuration file is actually not in the same folder as the script. The collection is two folders down. This is indicated by the argument path_to_notes: nb_builds/nb_alice
, given in the configuration file.
Result
After binding the notebooks in one of the two ways mentioned above, the following table of contents is inserted in the first notebook 00.00-Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland.ipynb
:
Table of Contents
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
1. Down the Rabbit-Hole
2. The Pool of Tears
3. A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale
4. The Rabbit Sends in a Little Bill
5. Advice from a Caterpillar
6. Pig and Pepper
7. A Mad Tea-Party
8. The Queen's Croquet-Ground
9. The Mock Turtle's Story
10. The Lobster Quadrille
11. Who Stole the Tarts?
12. Alice's Evidence
See 00.00-Alice's_Adventures_in_Wonderland.ipynb for the actual bound version of the first notebook. Notice the header in the begining of the notebook and the navigator cells after the header and at the end of the notebook. Experiment with the navigator links to move to the other notebooks.
Other examples
By appropriately naming the files, we can have different formattings for the Table of Contents.
Notebooks with subsections
For instance, if your list of files is

Notice, above, different forms of displaying the parts of the same lecture note.
The binder for the notebooks in this collection is configured to include a badge to open them in nbviewer. The badge is located just below the header. Just click the badge with the mouse right button for to open it. If clicking it with the right button, from within github, nothing will happen.
