JSONDataset

JSONDataset saves Plotly visualizations as JSON files.

kedro_datasets.plotly.JSONDataset

JSONDataset(
    *,
    filepath,
    load_args=None,
    save_args=None,
    version=None,
    credentials=None,
    fs_args=None,
    metadata=None
)

Bases: AbstractVersionedDataset[Figure, Figure | FigureWidget]

JSONDataset loads/saves a plotly figure from/to a JSON file using an underlying filesystem (e.g.: local, S3, GCS).

Examples:

Using the YAML API:

scatter_plot:
  type: plotly.JSONDataset
  filepath: data/08_reporting/scatter_plot.json
  save_args:
    engine: auto

Using the Python API:

>>> import plotly.express as px
>>> from kedro_datasets.plotly import JSONDataset
>>>
>>> fig = px.bar(x=["a", "b", "c"], y=[1, 3, 2])
>>>
>>> dataset = JSONDataset(filepath=tmp_path / "test.json")
>>> dataset.save(fig)
>>> reloaded = dataset.load()
>>> assert fig == reloaded

Parameters:

  • filepath (str) –

    Filepath in POSIX format to a JSON file prefixed with a protocol like s3://. If prefix is not provided file protocol (local filesystem) will be used. The prefix should be any protocol supported by fsspec. Note: http(s) doesn't support versioning.

  • load_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Plotly options for loading JSON files. Here you can find all available arguments: https://plotly.com/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.io.from_json.html#plotly.io.from_json All defaults are preserved.

  • save_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Plotly options for saving JSON files. Here you can find all available arguments: https://plotly.com/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.io.write_json.html All defaults are preserved.

  • version (Version | None, default: None ) –

    If specified, should be an instance of kedro.io.core.Version. If its load attribute is None, the latest version will be loaded. If its save attribute is None, save version will be autogenerated.

  • credentials (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Credentials required to get access to the underlying filesystem. E.g. for GCSFileSystem it should look like {'token': None}.

  • fs_args (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Extra arguments to pass into underlying filesystem class constructor (e.g. {"project": "my-project"} for GCSFileSystem), as well as to pass to the filesystem's open method through nested keys open_args_load and open_args_save. Here you can find all available arguments for open: https://filesystem-spec.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#fsspec.spec.AbstractFileSystem.open All defaults are preserved, except mode, which is set to w when saving.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None, default: None ) –

    Any arbitrary metadata. This is ignored by Kedro, but may be consumed by users or external plugins.
