This project successfully delivered a production-ready JupyterLab extension that replaces fragmented workflows with an integrated workspace, featuring a dynamic side panel for pipeline visualization and a multi-tab interface for comparative workflow analysis. + +Core Achievements: + +Modernized Extension: Upgraded the JupyterLab Sidepanel to v4.x, ensuring compatibility with the latest ecosystem and releasing the package on both [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/apache-beam-jupyterlab-sidepanel) and [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/apache-beam-jupyterlab-sidepanel/). + +YAML Visualization Suite: Implemented a powerful visual editor for Beam YAML, combining a code editor, an interactive flow chart (built with @xyflow/react-flow), and a collapsible key-value panel for intuitive pipeline design. + +Enhanced Accessibility & Stability: Added pip installation support and fixed critical bugs in Interactive Beam, improving stability and user onboarding. + +Community Engagement: Active participation in the Beam community, including contributing to a hackathon project and successfully integrating all work into the Apache Beam codebase via merged Pull Requests. + +# Development Workflow +As early as the beginning of March, I saw Apache's project information on the official GSoC website and came across Beam among the projects released by Apache. Since I have some interest in front-end development and wanted to truly integrate into the open-source community for development work, I contacted mentor XQ Hu via email and received positive feedback from him. In April, XQ Hu posted notes for all GSoC students on the Beam Mailing List. It was essential to keep an eye on the Mailing List promptly. Between March and May, besides completing the project proposal and preparation work, I also used my spare time to partially migrate the Beam JupyterLab Extension to version 4.0. This helped me get into the development state more quickly. Review Comment: You could link your design doc here. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
