Package: jupyterlab-open-url-parameter
jupyterlab-open-url-parameterJupyterLab extension to open files passed via a URL parameter.RequirementsJupyterLab >= 4.0InstallTo install the extension, run the following command:pipinstalljupyterlab-open-url-parameterUsageThe extension will open a file passed via a URL parameter. The URL parameter isfromURL. It is possible to pass multiple files via thefromURLparameter. The files will be opened in the order they are passed.For example if you would like to open a notebook and a csv file:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/notebooks/Lorenz.ipynbhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/data/iris.csvYou can append the following to the URL of your JupyterLab instance:?fromURL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/notebooks/Lorenz.ipynb&fromURL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/data/iris.csvWhich will result in the following URL when JupyterLab is running locally:http://localhost:8888/lab?fromURL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/data/iris.csv&fromURL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-demo/master/notebooks/Lorenz.ipynbhttps://user-images.githubusercontent.com/591645/230422671-c12761e9-9b9f-4d23-ab66-344568c6b0a5.mp4ℹ️ This extension uses the commandfilebrowser:open-urlavailable in JupyterLab by default.Using the extension in JupyterLiteThe extension can also be used inJupyterLite.

You may useyarnornpmin lieu ofjlpmbelow.# Clone the repo to your local environment# Change directory to the jupyterlab_open_url_parameter directory# Install package in development modepipinstall-e"."# Link your development version of the extension with JupyterLabjupyterlabextensiondevelop.--overwrite# Rebuild extension Typescript source after making changesjlpmbuildYou can watch the source directory and run JupyterLab at the same time in different terminals to watch for changes in the extension's source and automatically rebuild the extension.# Watch the source directory in one terminal, automatically rebuilding when neededjlpmwatch# Run JupyterLab in another terminaljupyterlabWith the watch command running, every saved change will immediately be built locally and available in your running JupyterLab. Refresh JupyterLab to load the change in your browser (you may need to wait several seconds for the extension to be rebuilt).By default, thejlpm buildcommand generates the source maps for this extension to make it easier to debug using the browser dev tools. To also generate source maps for the JupyterLab core extensions, you can run the following command:jupyterlabbuild--minimize=FalseDevelopment uninstallpipuninstalljupyterlab-open-url-parameterIn development mode, you will also need to remove the symlink created byjupyter labextension developcommand. To find its location, you can runjupyter labextension listto figure out where thelabextensionsfolder is located. Then you can remove the symlink namedjupyterlab-open-url-parameterwithin that folder.Packaging the extensionSeeRELEASE
