ordo

A lightweight feedback extension for Jupyter. Ordo allows users to add feedback messages in a cell's metadata. The feedback is appended to cell's output as a success or failure message based on the result the cell produces.

Installation

Install and enable ordo on your Jupyter server

curl -LO https://github.com/nm-wu/ordo/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
unzip main.zip
cd ordo-main/
pip install -e .
jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix ordo
jupyter nbextension enable --py ordo

Installation (for development)

git clone git@github.com:nm-wu/ordo.git
cd ordo/
pip install -e .
jupyter nbextension install --py --sys-prefix --symlink ordo
jupyter nbextension enable --py ordo 

Configuration

To configure your ordo installation (e.g., to default into the feedback mode) provide an ordo section to <config-dir>/nbconfig/notebook.json:

1. Pick a configuration directory (config-dir) from jupyter --paths;
2. Create and/or edit notebook.json therein, to include:

{
  "ordo": {
     "defaultSuccess": "Thumb up!",
     "defaultFailure": "Thumb down!",
     "enableModeToggle": false
  }
}

• defaultSuccess (string): The default success message, valid for for the scope of an entire notebook (maybe overriden on a cell-by-cell basis);
• defaultFailure (string): The default failure message, valid for for the scope of an entire notebook (maybe overriden on a cell-by-cell basis);
• enableModeToggle (boolean): Setting to true enables both command modes: authoring and feedback mode (as well as toggling between the two). false renders the notebook in feedback-only mode (no mode toggle available).
