kedro-static-viz is out with support for the newly released hooks feature. This means that you can have kedro-static-viz automatically deploy a full gatsby site before_pipeline_run keeping your visualization always up to date.

Even though it is a static site there is no functionality lost. The only thing that’s missing is the flask server. With kedro-static-viz you can deploy your visualization to a number of static hosting providers such as GitHub pages free of charge with wicked...

There are two main ways to create kedro hooks, with modules and classes. Each one still uses the same verbiage as the function/method names.

Class hooks seem a bit special as they give you a way to configure them so that they are a bit more generally useful.

What is Kedro

...

This post is a 🧠 branstorming work in progress. I will likely use it as a storage location/brain dump of hook ideas.

If you are completely unsure what kedro is be sure to check out my what is kedro post

hooks are executed in reverse order of the hooks list.

I want to incorporate some of the wonderful comments, \U0001F495, \U0001F984, and \U0001F516’s that I have been getting on dev.to on my website. I have dabbled once or twice with no avail this time I am taking notes on my journey, so follow along and let’s get there together. By the end of this post, I will have a way to get comments from posts on the client-side thanks to the wonderfully open dev.to API.

GitHub’s actions are a new GitHub feature that will trigger GitHub to spin up a virtual machine and run some tasks with some special access to your repo. It can interact with comments/issues, it can clone your repo, You can explicitly pass in secrets so that it can commit back to the repo or deploy to another service. The environment may be a Linux, windows, or even a mac machine. I believe this is wildly incredible for the open-source community, putting these tools in the same place that we are already collaborating is so convenient.

GitHub actions can give you confidence that your site is up and running, with the latest JavaScript packages, does not have broken links, and can even take screenshots of what your website looks like on different screen sizes and operating systems.

Kedro provides an efficient way to build out data catalogs with their yaml api. It allows you to be very declaritive about loading and saving your data. For the most part you just need to tell Kedro what connector to use and its filepath. When running Kedro takes care of all of the read/write, you just reference the catalog key.

Under the hood there is an AbstractDataSet that each connector inherits from. It sets up a lot of the behind the scenes structure for us so that we dont have to. For the most part kedro has connectors for about anything that you want to load, csv, parquet, sql, json, from about anywhere, http, s3, localfile system are just some of the examples.

Here is a DataSet implementation from their docs. Here you can see the barebones example straight from the docs. Parameters from the yaml catalog will get passed in

As usual while listening to python bytes 181 I heard of a tool that I had to try out right away!

This thing is 🔥 hot off the press folks, we’re talking the first release only 3 weeks ago. Its something that the python community needed years ago, and it belongs in your CI today. I had tried several tools that tried to do docstring coverage in the past but they were a bit cumbersome and were quickly forgotten about. Not interrogate, its dead simple!

Nothing I have tried has come close to being this good

When creating cli’s I often want some nice full-width character. I find it tough to find them, and when I do half the time it is an image or something that cannot be copied 👿.

I rarely get very complex with my semi-manual ASCII art. I can do 98% of what I need with bars and corners. Using some simple full-width characters can really give your cli a nice clean look.

I’d say 50% of what I need is just a full-width horizontal bar to give some visual flair or separation.

Kedro Hooks Intro - kedro hooks are an exciting upcoming feature of kedro 0.16.0. They allow you to hook into catalog_created,pipeline_run, and node_run(nouns). With a before, or after (adjective). This really reminds me of reacts lifecycle hooks, that let you hook into various state of react web components. This is going to make kedro so extendable by the community. I am super pumped to see what the community is able to do with this ability.

This is a very rough idea for a kedro package to prevent time lost to get partway through a pipeline run only to realize that you dont have access to data or resources.
