Write a data block¶

A walkthrough: from a file format nobody supports to a plot on an item page.

Scaffold from the template¶

The recommended starting point is the Copier template at datalab-org/datalab-app-plugin-template. Use it with Copier rather than forking it.

# TODO: exact copier invocation from the template README.

Anatomy of a block¶

# TODO: minimal working block, verified against the current pydatalab release.

Parsing your file¶

Plotting¶

Testing it locally¶

Shipping it¶

Once it works, see Install plugins on an instance.
