Features

The Install Jupyter Ada Kernel command lets the user install Ada kernel and configures it for usage in VS Code, Jupyter notebook and others IDE.

Dependencies

The kernel requires

• GNAT Ada compiler
• GNAT Project Manager gprbuild
• Alire: Ada LIbrary REpository (Optional)

Get started

1. Install this extension in the VS Code
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type in Install Jupyter Ada Kernel command
3. Install the Jupyter Extension
4. Open or create a notebook file by opening the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and select Create: New Jupyter Notebook

Jupyter Ada Kernel usage

The Jupyter Ada Kernel let you insert following cells:

Context clauses cells

Such a cell could contains with, use-clauses and pragma-s. Example:

with Ada.Text_IO;

Declarations cells

Such a cell could contains declarations (those don't require completion). Example:

Text : constant String = "Hello, World!";

Statements cells

Such a cell could contains statements (Including compound statements). Example:

Ada.Text_IO.Put (Text);

Bodies cells

If the declaration requires a completion, then it should be in the same cell:

procedure Test;

procedure Test is
begin
   Ada.Text_IO.Put ("Test!");
end Test;

Magic cells

If you have Alire installed, then you can use %alr magic cells to install dependencies (but they should work as shared libraries).
