What is it?

jupyterlab_templates adds template support to JupyterLab. Users can pick a notebook from a template gallery and start a new notebook pre-filled with that content, instead of starting from a blank file.

Templates are discovered from configured directories. Each template must sit in a subdirectory of a listed parent directory, which makes it easy for libraries to ship their own tutorials or guides. A default template directory under the Jupyter data folder can be enabled, and directories can be excluded with an ignore file. The extension is configured through options in jupyter_notebook_config.py, including allowed file extensions and the label shown on the template icon.

The project is installable from PyPI or conda-forge and is distributed as a Jupyter server extension plus a JupyterLab frontend extension.
