Create a copier template for custom widget development #22

Open jtpio opened 1 year ago

jtpio commented 1 year ago

Since there were some discussions about this yesterday at JupyterCon 2023 in Paris, opening an issue here to discuss more.

The TypeScript cookiecutter seems to be having a couple of issues at the moment: https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/widget-ts-cookiecutter. However they are likely related to packaging and it should be possible to fix them.

Another idea could also to follow JupyterLab and have a copier template as well: https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-template

Maybe this could ease custom widget development and streamline the process.

cc @ibdafna since we were talking about this

@jtpio in line with the discussion around deprecating the JS cookiecutter, I think it would make sense to update the TS cookiecutter to use copier. We can discuss in the next dev meeting.

Should the cookiecutter be updated to use copier, or should we create a new repo, like in JupyterLab? https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-template

cc @trungleduc who mentioned offline that he had success building a new widget starting from the JupyterLab copier template: https://github.com/trungleduc/ipecharts

here is the widget template based on jupyterlab's copier template https://github.com/trungleduc/ipywidgets-template. Since it does not support classic Notebook, I think it's better to keep the cookiecutter-based template around.

Thanks!

@trungleduc would you be interested in transferring the template to the jupyter-widgets organization. If so maybe we can mention the Jupyter Widgets council team and see if other maintainers are on board with this idea.

Otherwise jupyter-widgets-contrib could be a good place to incubate it: https://github.com/jupyter-widgets-contrib

trungleduc commented 10 months ago

Yes, I can do both

cc @jupyter-widgets/jupyter-widgets-council for awareness:

What do council members think about moving the ipywidgets copier template to the jupyter-widgets organization? https://github.com/trungleduc/ipywidgets-template
