URL: https://github.com/apache/datafusion-python/pull/1100
# Which issue does this PR close?
Closes #1096.
# Rationale for this change
This PR introduces a flexible and customizable HTML rendering mechanism for
DataFusion DataFrames in the Python API. The existing `_repr_html_` method was
hardcoded and inflexible. By refactoring to use a dedicated HTML formatter, we
gain modularity, customization options, and testability, improving the user
experience especially in notebook environments.
# What changes are included in this PR?
- Added `datafusion/html_formatter.py`:
- `DataFrameHtmlFormatter` class
- `StyleProvider` and `CellFormatter` protocols for customization
- Global configuration via `configure_formatter`, `get_formatter`,
`reset_formatter`
- Expandable cell rendering with embedded JavaScript
- Refactored `PyDataFrame._repr_html_()` to delegate to the Python HTML
formatter
- Updated `__init__.py` to expose `configure_formatter`
- Added extensive tests:
- Style configuration and override
- Type-based formatting
- Custom header and cell rendering
- Style-sharing logic across renders
# Are there any user-facing changes?
✅ Yes. Users can now:
- Customize how DataFrames render in Jupyter notebooks
- Use custom styling, formatters, and rendering behavior
- Control expand/collapse behavior for long cell values
- Use `configure_formatter()` to globally control output formatting
Documentation should be updated to include usage examples of the HTML
formatter (e.g., in the Python API docs or notebook examples).
