Contribute to ``sphinx-copybutton``
===================================

For general guidelines about contributing to projects in ``executablebooks``, see `the project contribution guidelines <https://executablebooks.org/en/latest/contributing.html>`_.

If you'd like to develop or make contributions for sphinx-copybutton, fork
the repository here:

https://github.com/ExecutableBookProject/sphinx-copybutton

pull to your computer and install locally with ``pip``::

pip install -e /path/to/sphinx_copybutton

**Pull requests** and **Issues** are absolutely welcome!

The package is tested for three things (see ``.github/workflows/integration.yml``):

code style
----------

To adhere to this code style install the package with `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`__:

.. code-block:: console
$ pip install .[code_style]
Then you can run:

.. code-block:: console
$ pre-commit run --all
Or setup pre-commit to run on code commits:

.. code-block:: console
$ pre-commit install
JavaScript unit testing
-----------------------

Install the test dependencies with `npm <https://www.npmjs.com/>`__:

.. code-block:: console
$ npm install ci
Then run the tests:

.. code-block:: console
$ npm test
.. note::

NodeJS >= 12 is required

Documentation builds
--------------------

Install the package:

.. code-block:: console
$ pip install .
Then run the docs build:

.. code-block:: console
$ cd doc
$ make html

Customization
=============

Sphinx-copybutton was designed to work with the default Sphinx theme,
`Alabaster <https://alabaster.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_. If you use a theme
that doesn't play nicely with sphinx-copybutton's CSS, you can always add
your own CSS rules!

Customize the CSS
-----------------

To customize the display of the copy button, you can add your own CSS files
that overwrite the CSS in the
`sphinx-copybutton CSS rules <https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-copybutton/blob/master/sphinx_copybutton/_static/copybutton.css>`_.
Just add these files to ``_static`` in your documentation folder, and it should
overwrite sphinx-copybutton's behavior.

.. _configure_copy_text:

Strip and configure input prompts for code cells
------------------------------------------------

By default, ``sphinx-copybutton`` will copy the entire contents of a code
block when the button is clicked. For many languages, it is common to
include **input prompts** with your examples, along with the outputs from
running the code.

``sphinx-copybutton`` provides functionality to both
strip input prompts, as well as *only* select lines that begin with a prompt.
This allows users to click the button and *only* copy the input text,
excluding the prompts and outputs.

To define the prompt text that you'd like removed from copied text in your code
blocks, use the following configuration value in your ``conf.py`` file:

.. code-block:: python
copybutton_prompt_text = "myinputprompt"
When this variable is set, ``sphinx-copybutton`` will remove the prompt from
the beginning of any lines that start with the text you specify. In
addition, *only* the lines that contain prompts will be copied if any are
discovered. If no lines with prompts are found, then the full contents of
the cell will be copied.

For example, to exclude traditional Python prompts from your copied code,
use the following configuration:

.. code-block:: python
copybutton_prompt_text = ">>> "
Using regexp prompt identifiers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If your prompts are more complex than a single string, then you can use a regexp to match with.

.. note::

Keep in mind that the
`RegExp <https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp>`_
you are writing is
`evaluated in JavaScript <https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-copybutton/blob/a58da090dae6f4d38870929e0258a0c8ee626f8f/sphinx_copybutton/_static/copybutton_funcs.js#L7>`_
and not in Python.
In some edge cases this might lead to different results.

If you enclose your regexp in a raw string (``r""``),
you can easily test that your RegExp matches all the wanted prompts,
i.e. at `RegEx101`_.

For example this documentation uses the following configuration:

.. code-block:: python
copybutton_prompt_text = r">>> |\.\.\. |\$ |In \[\d*\]: | {2,5}\.\.\.: | {5,8}: "
copybutton_prompt_is_regexp = True
Which matches the following prompts and their continuations if they exist:

.. list-table::
:widths: 30 37 33
:header-rows: 1

* - Prompt Name
- RegEx Pattern
- Matched String Examples
* - Python Repl + continuation
- ``r'>>> |\.\.\. '``
- ``'>>> '``, ``'... '``
* - Bash
- ``r'\$ '``
- ``'$ '``
* - ``ipython`` and ``qtconsole`` + continuation
- ``r'In \[\d*\]: | {2,5}\.\.\.: '``
- ``'In []: '``, ``'In [999]: '``, ``' ...: '``, ``' ...: '``
* - ``jupyter-console`` + continuation
- ``r'In \[\d*\]: | {5,8}: '``
- ``'In []: '``, ``'In [999]: '``, ``' ...: '``, ``' ...: '``

An example usage would be the ``ipython``-directive:

.. code-block:: restructuredtext
``ipython`` and ``qtconsole`` style:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: first
...: continuation
output
In [2]: second
``jupyter`` style:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: first
: continuation
output
In [2]: second
``ipython`` and ``qtconsole`` style:

.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: first
...: continuation
output
In [2]: second
``jupyter`` style:

.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: first
: continuation
output
In [2]: second
If you want a detailed explanation how the RegEx's work you can also use `RegEx101`_ and read the ``Explanation`` sidebar.

Configure whether *only* lines with prompts are copied
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default, if sphinx-copybutton detects lines that begin with code prompts,
it will *only* copy the text in those lines (after stripping the prompts).
This assumes that the rest of the code block contains outputs that shouldn't
be copied.

To disable this behavior, use the following configuration in ``conf.py``:

.. code-block:: python
copybutton_only_copy_prompt_lines = False
In this case, all lines of the code blocks will be copied after the prompts
are stripped.

Configure whether the input prompts should be stripped
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default, sphinx-copybutton will remove the prompt text from lines
according to the value of ``copybutton_prompt_text``.

To disable this behavior and copy the full text of lines with prompts
(for example, if you'd like to copy *only* the lines with prompts, but not
strip the prompts), use the following configuration in ``conf.py``:

.. code-block:: python
copybutton_remove_prompts = False
Use a different copy button image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To use a different image for your copy buttons, do the following:

1. Place the image in the ``_static/`` folder of your site.
2. Set the ``copybutton_image_path`` variable in your ``conf.py`` to be the
path to your image file, **relative to** ``_static/``.


Configure the CSS selector used to add copy buttons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default, ``sphinx-copybutton`` will add a copy button to all elements
that match the following selection:

.. code-block:: css
div.highlight pre
To change this selector, use the following configuration in ``conf.py``:
.. code-block:: python
copybutton_selector = "your.selector"
In this case, all elements that match ``your.selector`` will have a copy button
added to them.
