# Module: `nbconvert.transformers.base`

Module that re-groups transformer that would be applied to ipynb files before going through the templating machinery.

It exposes a convenient class to inherit from to access configurability.

## 1 Class

class `IPython.nbconvert.transformers.base.``Transformer`(**kw)

  Bases: `IPython.nbconvert.utils.base.NbConvertBase`

  A configurable transformer

  Inherit from this class if you wish to have configurability for your transformer.

  Any configurable traitlets this class exposed will be configurable in profiles using c.SubClassName.atribute=value

  you can overwrite `transform_cell()` to apply a transformation independently on each cell or `call()` if you prefer your own logic. See corresponding docstring for informations.

  Disabled by default and can be enabled via the config by
    ‘c.YourTransformerName.enabled = True’
  `__init__`(**kw)

    Public constructor

    Parameters : | config : Config Configuration file structure **kw : misc Additional arguments

  `call`(nb, resources)

    Transformation to apply on each notebook.

    You should return modified nb, resources. If you wish to apply your transform on each cell, you might want to overwrite transform_cell method instead.

    Parameters : | nb : NotebookNode Notebook being converted resources : dictionary Additional resources used in the conversion process. Allows transformers to pass variables into the Jinja engine.

  `transform_cell`(cell, resources, index)

    Overwrite if you want to apply a transformation on each cell. You should return modified cell and resource dictionary.

    Parameters : | cell : NotebookNode cell Notebook cell being processed resources : dictionary Additional resources used in the conversion process. Allows transformers to pass variables into the Jinja engine. index : int Index of the cell being processed
