Documentation

See the documentation page for the latest docs.

Developing

To ensure development libraries are installed, install everything in requirements-dev.txt:

> pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Unit Tests

Unit tests are in the tests folder. To run unit tests, use unittest:

> python -m unittest discover tests

Code quality checks

PySTAC uses flake8 and yapf for code formatting and style checks.

To run the flake8 style checks:

> flake8 pystac
> flake8 tests

To format code:

> yapf -ipr pystac
> yapf -ipr tests

You could also run the .travis/style_checks script to check flake8 and yapf.

Documentation

To build and develop the documentation locally, make sure sphinx is available (which is installed with requirements-dev.txt), and use the Makefile in the docs folder:

> cd docs
> make html
> make livehtml

Use 'make' without arguments to see a list of available commands.

Note: nbsphinx requires that a local pystac is installed; use pip install -e ..

Runing the quickstart and tutorials

There is a quickstart and tutorials written as jupyter notebooks in the docs/tutorials folder. To run the notebooks, run a jupyter notebook with the docs directory as the notebook directory:

> PYTHONPATH=`pwd`:$PYTHONPATH jupyter notebook --ip 0.0.0.0 --port 8888 --notebook-dir=docs

You can then navigate to the notebooks and execute them.

Requires Jupyter be installed.
