Jupyter Notebook - Change Auto Save Interval

  1. As a Codio admin, navigate to the following directory in the terminal: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/notebook/static/custom/
  2. Enter the following command to make a backup of custom.js: sudo mv custom.js customBK.js
  3. sudo vim custom.js
  4. Press the 'i' button to get into "edit mode"
  5. Paste in the code from step 6
  6. define([
        'base/js/namespace',
        'base/js/events'
        ],
        function(IPython, events) {
          const saveDebounced = debounce(function() {
            IPython.notebook.save_notebook()
          }, 2000, {maxWait: 10000})
          events.on("change.Cell", saveDebounced);
       }
    )

     * delayed `func` invocations and a `flush` method to immediately invoke them.
     * Provide `options` to indicate whether `func` should be invoked on the
     * leading and/or trailing edge of the `wait` timeout. The `func` is invoked
     * with the last arguments provided to the debounced function. Subsequent
     * calls to the debounced function return the result of the last `func`
     * invocation.

     * invoked on the trailing edge of the timeout only if the debounced function
     * is invoked more than once during the `wait` timeout.
