Format#
The template uses metadata defined in the notebook file (.ipynb
) to configure the layout.
The specification of the metadata was defined by a now defunct project jupyter-dashboards
.
The specification is described in jupyter-dashboards
docs.
The voila renderer behaves as a “display-only renderer without authoring capabilitiy” as defined in the specs. However, there are a few differences compared to the original implmentation:
if no metadata is found in the notebook voilà will render the notebook as
grid
layout,it can not persist the state of the cells (i.e. the re-configuration of the layout will be lost, when the user closes the voila page),
if the cell does not contain view configuration for the particular view type (
grid
orreport
) orhidden
attribute is not defined, voilà will treat it as visible.
