Thanks @gunstonej.
Would these arguments be consumed in a notebook? That sounds similar to the prelaunch hook: https://github.com/voila-dashboards/voila/pull/218
I would very much need the same: pass on any number of program specific arguments to the notebook.
Maybe anything passed after the notebook filename could get ignored? Example: voila --debug --no-browser Voila01.ipynb --infile this.tsv --outfile that.tsv
Or, even better IMO, use a special argument separate like "--" to indicate that everything after that should get ignored:
voila --debug --no-browser Voila01.ipynb -- --infile this.tsv --outfile that.tsv
The second solution would make it easier to then parse the arguments within the notebook: one could ignore all elements in sys.argv up to and including "--" and then pass the rest to something like argparse.
I'm using Voila to build python apps internally for an engineering company. It's awesome.
I'd like to know whether it is possible to pass arguments to a Voila App when it is initiated. e.g.
voila app.ipynb inputdata.json
this would be a very useful feature as it would make it easy to interface a Voila App with other workflows.
