This repo is deprecated. The Fasta viewer has been moved to https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-renderers

JupyterLab Fasta Viewer

A JupyterLab extension for viewing Fasta information. A file renderer for files with .fasta extensions and a mime renderer for the application/vnd.fasta.fasta mimetype is included. This extension uses the MSA Fasta viewer.

To use the file viewer, right-click on a .fasta file and choose the Fasta viewer.

To use the notebook viewer, you can define a Fasta display class like:

from IPython.display import display
class Fasta:
    def __init__(self, data):
        self.data = data
    def _ipython_display_(self):
        bundle = {
            'application/vnd.fasta.fasta': self.data,
            'text/plain': self.data
        }
        display(bundle, raw=True)

and then display Fasta('some fasta data')
