Jupyter Notebook Params

Takes query parameters from a url to update a parameter cell of a jupyter notebook.

Installation

pip install jupyter-notebookparams

This should automatically enable the extension. If it is not listed in jupyter nbextension list install and enable it:

jupyter nbextension install --py jupyter_notebookparams --sys-prefix
jupyter nbextension enable --py jupyter_notebookparams --sys-prefix

Usage

Create a notebook cell that starts with the exact string # Parameters: Add parameters to the URL of a notebook, e.g. http://example.org/notebook.ipynb?a=1&b=False. The content of the first cell starting with # Parameters: will be replaced with the passed parameters, e.g.

# Parameters:
a = 1
b = False

Add the parameter autorun=true to automatically run the notebook.

WARNING: This extension does not parse the parameter values so arbitrary code can be executed in the parameter value.
