doit#

The use of doit is an implementation detail, and is subject to change!

Under the hood, the CLI is powered by doit, a lightweight task engine in python comparable to make.

Using Tasks with the API#

from IPython import get_ipython  # needed for `jupyter_execute` because magics?

if "TMP_DIR" not in globals():
    TMP_DIR = pathlib.Path(tempfile.mkdtemp(prefix="_my_lite_dir_"))

The LiteManager collects all the tasks from Addons, and can optionally accept a task_prefix in case you need to integrate with existing tasks.

from jupyterlite_core.manager import LiteManager

manager = LiteManager(task_prefix="lite_")
manager.initialize()
manager.doit_run("lite_status")

Custom Tasks and %doit#

doit offers an IPython magic, enabled with an extension. This can be combined to create highly reactive build tools for creating very custom sites.

%reload_ext doit

It works against the __main__ namespace, which won’t have anything by default.

%doit list

All the JupyterLite tasks can be added by updating __main__ via globals

globals().update(manager._doit_tasks)

Now when a new task is created, it can reference other tasks and targets.

def task_hello():
    return dict(actions=[lambda: print("HELLO!")], task_dep=["lite_post_status"])

%doit -v2 hello
