Apply CSS class to Pandas DataFrame using to_html
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm having trouble applying "classes" argument with Pandas "to_html" method to style a DataFrame.
"classes : str or list or tuple, default None
CSS class(es) to apply to the resulting html table"
from: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_html.html
I am able to render a styled DataFrame like this (for example):
df = pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], [1, 3], [4, 6]], columns=['A', 'B'])
myhtml = df.style.set_properties(**{'font-size': '11pt', 'font-family': 'Calibri','border-collapse': 'collapse','border': '1px solid black'}).render()
with open('myhtml.html','w') as f:
f.write(myhtml)
How can I style html output from a DataFrame using "classes" with "to_html" like this:
df.to_html('myhtml.html',classes=<something here>)
python pandas dataframe

When usingwith
to open file, you don't need toclose()
it manually. When existingwith
scope, the variable will be destroyed by the garbage collector, and the file will be closed automatically.

Pandas' to_html
simply outputs a large string containing HTML table markup. The classes argument is a convenience handler to give the <table>
a class attribute that will be referenced in a previously created CSS document that styles it. Therefore, incorporate to_html
into a wider HTML document build that references an external CSS.
Interestingly, to_html
adds dual classes <table class="dataframe mystyle">
which can be referenced in CSS individually, .dataframe {...} .mystyle{...}
, or together .dataframe.mystyle {...}
. Below demonstrates with random data.
Data

Thanks, it's confusing since one needs to reference the .css file in an "html_string" before using it's classes with "to_html". Seems like there should be a way to specify the .css file from the argument directly.

I think the confusion is really with pandas authors labeling the methodto_html()
when really it isto_html_table_string()
. A full HTML document is not produced with this method and class is a special attribute created in<table>
output. Plus, class is not reserved for just CSS but can be used in Javascript/JQuery and others.

df.to_html(myhtml.html) will produce a simple html table of the dataframe that can be opened in a browser. Is that not a "full html document"?

Not it is not. Check page source and you will see<html>

Here's how I did it
Create a text file for css code and write down your css code here, say css_style.txt
Now read this txt file as a string in your python file
with open('css_style.txt', 'r') as myfile:
style = myfile.read()
Now in HTML code
"""<html><head>Something Something</head>{1}<div>{0}</div></html>""".format(some_panda_dataframe.to_html,style)
Here in my case css_style.txt file is
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
th {
text-align: center;
padding: 8px;
}
td {
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even){background-color: #FFD5D5}
th {
background-color: #0000FF;
color: white;
}
</style>

Thanks, it's confusing since one needs to reference the .css file in an "html_string" before using it's classes with "to_html". Seems like there should be a way to specify the .css file from the argument directly.

I think the confusion is really with pandas authors labeling the methodto_html()
when really it isto_html_table_string()
. A full HTML document is not produced with this method and class is a special attribute created in<table>
output. Plus, class is not reserved for just CSS but can be used in Javascript/JQuery and others.

df.to_html(myhtml.html) will produce a simple html table of the dataframe that can be opened in a browser. Is that not a "full html document"?

Pandas' to_html
simply outputs a large string containing HTML table markup. The classes argument is a convenience handler to give the <table>
a class attribute that will be referenced in a previously created CSS document that styles it. Therefore, incorporate to_html
into a wider HTML document build that references an external CSS.
Interestingly, to_html
adds dual classes <table class="dataframe mystyle">
which can be referenced in CSS individually, .dataframe {...} .mystyle{...}
, or together .dataframe.mystyle {...}
. Below demonstrates with random data.

I think the confusion is really with pandas authors labeling the methodto_html()
when really it isto_html_table_string()
. A full HTML document is not produced with this method and class is a special attribute created in<table>
output. Plus, class is not reserved for just CSS but can be used in Javascript/JQuery and others.

Here's how I did it
Create a text file for css code and write down your css code here, say css_style.txt
Now read this txt file as a string in your python file
with open('css_style.txt', 'r') as myfile:
style = myfile.read()
Now in HTML code
"""<html><head>Something Something</head>{1}<div>{0}</div></html>""".format(some_panda_dataframe.to_html,style)
Here in my case css_style.txt file is
<style>
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
th {
text-align: center;
padding: 8px;
}
td {
text-align: left;
padding: 8px;
}
tr:nth-child(even){background-color: #FFD5D5}
th {
