The createStudyPack(email) and createCards(cards) functions both call methods on the jupyter_ops.studysauce object, but always return false. They appear to be primarily used for rendering and rendering cards, with the createCards(cards) function also manipulating an iframe element in the document.

Run example

npm run import -- "study-demo.js"

study-demo.js


function createStudyPack(email) {
    jupyter_ops.studysauce.copyStudy({email: email});
    return false;
}

function createCards(cards) {
    jupyter_ops.studysauce.renderCards({cards: cards})
        .then(r => document
              .getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0]
              .setAttribute('src', r))
    return false;
}


What the code could have been:

/**
 * Creates a study pack with the given email.
 * 
 * @param {string} email - The email to create the study pack for.
 * @returns {Promise} A promise resolving to a boolean indicating whether the operation was successful.
 */
async function createStudyPack(email) {
    try {
        // Call the Jupyter OPS function to create the study pack
        await jupyter_ops.studysauce.copyStudy({ email });
        // Log success to the console
        globalThis.console.log(`Study pack created for email: ${email}`);
        // Return true to indicate success
        return true;
    } catch (error) {
        // Log any errors to the console
        globalThis.console.error(`Error creating study pack for email: ${email}`, error);
        // Return false to indicate failure
        return false;
    }
}

/**
 * Creates a cards component with the given cards.
 * 
 * @param {Array} cards - The cards to create the component with.
 * @returns {Promise} A promise resolving when the operation is complete.
 */
async function createCards(cards) {
    try {
        // Check if the cards array is valid
        if (!Array.isArray(cards)) {
            throw new Error('Invalid cards array');
        }

        // Call the Jupyter OPS function to render the cards
        const response = await jupyter_ops.studysauce.renderCards({ cards });
        // Update the iframe source with the response
        globalThis.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[0].setAttribute('src', response);
    } catch (error) {
        // Log any errors to the console
        globalThis.console.error('Error creating cards component:', error);
