A cookiecutter template for creating a JupyterLab extension in CommonJS JavaScript. (See also extension-cookiecutter-ts for an extension in TypeScript.)

Install cookiecutter.

pip install cookiecutter

Use cookiecutter to generate a package, following the prompts to fill in the name and authorship of your new JupyterLab extension.

cookiecutter https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-cookiecutter-js

The lib/ directory of your new extension includes a very simple example of a working extension, written in JavaScript using CommonJS modules. Use this example as a guide to build your own extension.

We suggest that simple extension names start with jupyterlab_ and use underscores if needed to improve readability, such as jupyterlab_myextension.
