OpenBB ODP Extensions Cookiecutter

Cookiecutter is a command-line utility that creates projects from templates.

This extension is a simple template for setting up new OpenBB Python Package extensions and projects.

Template Structure

The Cookiecutter template prompts the user for information to use in the pyproject.toml file, and then generates a project based on that information. All fields are optional.

• Your Name
• Your Email
• Project Name
• Project Tag (some-distributable-package)
• Package Name ("include" code folder name - "some_package")
• Provider Name - name of the provider for the entry point - i.e, 'fmp'
• Router Name - name of the router path - i.e. obb.{some_package}
• OBBject Name - name of the OBBject accessor namespace.

The template will generate all extension types as a single, installable Python project. You likely won't always use all in tandem, just delete the unwanted folders and entrypoints.

Usage

1. Install in a Python environment from PyPI with:

pip install openbb-cookiecutter

Alternatively, with uvx:

uvx openbb-cookiecutter

2. Navigate the current working directory to the desired output location and run:

openbb-cookiecutter

Enter values or press enter to continue with the default.

3. Create a new Python environment for the project.

4. Navigate into the generated folder and install with:

pip install -e .

5. Python static files will be generated on first import, or trigger with openbb-build.

6. Import the Python package or start the API and use like any other OpenBB application.

7. Modify the business logic and get started building!
