run Jupyter browser client commands from a CLI, REST API, or other browser windows

See the full documentation on ReadTheDocs.
Installation

Note: after installing the browser and server extension, you'll need to restart
your server and/or refresh your Jupyter client browser session.

Prerequisites

python >=3.8
jupyterlab >=3

pip
pip install jyg jupyterlab

mamba
mamba install -c conda-forge jyg jupyterlab

... or use conda if you must.
Development Install
See the contributing guide for a development install.
Quick Start
Before running any of the above, please ensure you have installed the
jyg extension for your Jupyter client and server.
Browser

In Advanced Settings: Command Boards

Create a new Board with a template like
<button data-command-id="help:licenses">Show Licenses</button>

or more complicated
<button
data-command-id="apputils:change-theme"
data-command-args='{"theme": "JupyterLab Dark"}'
>
Set theme
</button>

Click the Launcher Item for the board

Or use the Command Palette

Click the elements in the board

CLI
List commands
jyg list --json
jyg ls
jyg l

Run commands

the following are all equivalent

jyg run filebrowser:open '{"path": "Untitled.ipynb"}'
jyg run filebrowser:open --path=Untitled.ipynb
jyg r filebrowser:open --path Untitled.ipynb

REST API
List commands
GET http://localhost:8888/jyg/commands

{
"apps": [
{
"url": "http://localhost:8888"
}
]
}

Run a command
POST http://localhost:8888/jyg/command/docmanager:open

{
"path": "Untitled.ipynb"
}

Troubleshooting
If various pieces do not appear to be working, try some of the steps below.
Verify the installation
jupyter server extension list
jupyter serverextension list

You should see some output that includes:
jyg enabled
- Validating jyg...
jyg x.x.x OK

If not present, you might be able to re-enable it with:
jupyter server extension enable --sys-prefix --py jyg
jupyter serverextension enable --sys-prefix --py jyg.serverextension

jupyter labextension list

You should see something like:
@deathbeds/jyg vx.x.x enabled OK

Verify the server is running
Make sure the server is running.
jupyter server list
jupyter notebook list

Verify the browser application is running
To run or list commands, the browser must be running the client. Also look at the
Browser Console (usually shown with f12) for any explicit errors or
warnings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does jyg work with Jupyter notebook<7?
Sort of. jyg can list and run commands in JupyterLab-derived apps running as an
extension to the notebook server... but only when running under jupyter_server<2.
It cannot (and will not) integrate with the Bootstrap/jQuery notebook UI, as there is
consistent design pattern for commands.
Does jyg work with Jupyter notebook>=7?
Not yet. But it will probably work pretty soon after a release.
Does jyg work with another backend than jupyter_server?
No. Aside from the above about notebook<7. However, the API is extensively typed
and tested, and could be implemented in another backend.
Can $MY_APPLICATION use jyg to drive Jupyter clients?
Probably not. Out of the box. jyg only provides a way to operate its host
application in co-deployed <iframe>s as Command Boards, and only runs the
postMessage server when a board is actively running.
The in-browser API is available, however, to create custom extensions which would allow
a web page that already had access to the Jupyter application to register use
postMessage.
If your application already has control over the Jupyter application, you can likely
use a handle to the Application instance, get access to the IWindowProxy plugin, and
add the host window as a source.
