Complete everything with Jupyter ~ Introduction of nbdev ~

This article is the 4th day post of Bakan Advent Calendar 2019. This is an article for Jupyterer. Please check the formula for details, as some parts are not well understood.

What is nbdev

Perhaps briefly, it's a Python programming environment that completes the task with a single Jupyter Notebook by including the IDE role. Created by fast.ai and currently under development [fastai v2](https://forums.fast.ai/t/fastai-v2-read- This-before-posting-please / 53517) also uses nbdev.

Currently, trial and error such as EDA and model construction is often done using Jupyter Notebook, and it exists as the role of "exploring". However, it is common to use the IDE in the subsequent phases.

nbdev is trying to complete it on jupyter by providing the following functions. ・ Creating a py file ・ Creating a README ・ Visual diff ・ Confirmation and correction of merge conflict

(Borrowed from the official below)

Tutorial / How to use

The following is done on Mac, but the procedure is the same on Win.

Installation ~ Until Jupyter opens

1- Install from the terminal with the following command. pip install nbdev

2- Official creates template, so create Repository based on it.

3- Clone the created Repository. git clone [URL below]

4-Edit settings.ini to add information about the repository to be linked. Uncomment the following items in settings.ini and edit as shown in the entry example.

Before editing

Entry example

lib_name, user, description correspond to the created repository. I don't know what keywords refers to, but please enter an appropriate string.

If you do not write the copyright, you will get moss by the following procedure.

5-Type the following command from the terminal to create the lib_name directory. nbdev_build_lib

(In the image above, Pipfile and Pipfile.lock are displayed, but they are irrelevant and should be ignored)

6-Open Jupyter Notebook with jupyter notebook.

Creating a py file

Open 00_core.ipynb and follow the steps below to create a module.

For what you want to convert to a python module, add # export to the beginning of the cell.
Type the following two rows into the cell and execute. (Or run nbdev_build_lib on the terminal.) from nbdev.export import * notebook2script()

The following example

As a result, what you specify with # export will be listed in core.py under the lib_name directory. The core.py is updated each time you perform step 2, so in addition to adding it, you can delete it by erasing the existing cell.

Editing the README

When you open 99_index.ipynb, the following template will be displayed. Since the cell with # hide is hidden, we will import the module including the one with # export here.

Template

The following example

After editing is complete, run nbdev_build_docs on the terminal to update the README.md in the directory.

After that, when you push to the remote repository, the README on github will show the following.

We hope that this article will give you an opportunity to try out nbdev. Please check the following references as some parts may not be covered.
