nbdev template

Use this template to more easily create your nbdev project.

If you are using an older version of this template, and want to upgrade to the theme-based version, see this helper script (more explanation of what this means is contained in the link to the script).

Troubleshooting Tips

• Make sure you are using the latest version of nbdev with pip install -U nbdev
• If you are using an older version of this template, see the instructions above on how to upgrade your template.
• It is important for you to spell the name of your user and repo correctly in settings.ini or the website will not have the correct address from which to source assets like CSS for your site. When in doubt, you can open your browser's developer console and see if there are any errors related to fetching assets for your website due to an incorrect URL generated by misspelled values from settings.ini.
• If you change the name of your repo, you have to make the appropriate changes in settings.ini
• After you make changes to settings.ini, run nbdev_build_lib && nbdev_clean_nbs && nbdev_build_docs to make sure all changes are propagated appropriately.

Changes in setting.ini

• Set lib_name and requirements in settings.ini
• Create symbolic link: ln -s /wd/project_name /wd/nbs/
• Install requirements: pip install $(cat settings.ini | grep -o "requirements =.*" | cut -f3- -d' ')

Bash Srcript

Set up the corresponding hyperlinks and initial setting by running on project directory the build.sh script

Docker Jupyterlab & Nbdev

docker run --name ejr_container  -e NB_USER=enrique -e JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes -v $PWD:/wd -w /wd  -p 8881:8888 ejimenezr/jupylab-dev 

Previewing Documents Locally

It is often desirable to preview nbdev generated documentation locally before having it built and rendered by GitHub Pages. This requires you to run Jekyll locally, which requires installing Ruby and Jekyll. Instructions on how to install Jekyll are provided on Jekyll's site. You can run the command make docs_serve from the root of your repo to serve the documentation locally after calling nbdev_build_docs to generate the docs.

In order to allow you to run Jekyll locally this project contains manifest files, called Gem files, that specify all Ruby dependencies for Jekyll & nbdev. If you do not plan to preview documentation locally, you can choose to delete docs/Gemfile and docs/Gemfile.lock from your nbdev project (for example, after creating a new repo from this template).
