# Cookiecutter Data Science

_A logical, reasonably standardized but flexible project structure for doing and sharing data science work._

**Cookiecutter Data Science (CCDS)** is a tool for setting up a data science project template that incorporates best practices. To learn more about CCDS's philosophy, visit the [project homepage](https://cookiecutter-data-science.drivendata.org/).

> ℹ️ Cookiecutter Data Science v2 has changed from v1. It now requires installing the new cookiecutter-data-science Python package, which extends the functionality of the [cookiecutter](https://cookiecutter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/README.html) templating utility. Use the provided `ccds` command-line program instead of `cookiecutter`.

## Installation

Cookiecutter Data Science v2 requires Python 3.8+. Since this is a cross-project utility application, we recommend installing it with [pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/). Installation command options:

```bash
# With pipx from PyPI (recommended)
pipx install cookiecutter-data-science

# With pip from PyPI
pip install cookiecutter-data-science

# With conda from conda-forge (coming soon)
# conda install cookiecutter-data-science -c conda-forge
```

## Starting a new project

To start a new project, run:

```bash
ccds
```

### The resulting directory structure

The directory structure of your new project will look something like this (depending on the settings that you choose):

```
├── LICENSE <- Open-source license if one is chosen
├── Makefile <- Makefile with convenience commands like `make data` or `make train`
├── README.md <- The top-level README for developers using this project.
├── data
│ ├── external <- Data from third party sources.
│ ├── interim <- Intermediate data that has been transformed.
│ ├── processed <- The final, canonical data sets for modeling.
│ └── raw <- The original, immutable data dump.

├── docs <- A default mkdocs project; see www.mkdocs.org for details

├── models <- Trained and serialized models, model predictions, or model summaries

├── notebooks <- Jupyter notebooks. Naming convention is a number (for ordering),
│ the creator's initials, and a short `-` delimited description, e.g.
│ `1.0-jqp-initial-data-exploration`.

├── pyproject.toml <- Project configuration file with package metadata for
│ {{ cookiecutter.module_name }} and configuration for tools like black

├── references <- Data dictionaries, manuals, and all other explanatory materials.

├── reports <- Generated analysis as HTML, PDF, LaTeX, etc.
│ └── figures <- Generated graphics and figures to be used in reporting

├── requirements.txt <- The requirements file for reproducing the analysis environment, e.g.
│ generated with `pip freeze > requirements.txt`

├── setup.cfg <- Configuration file for flake8

└── {{ cookiecutter.module_name }} <- Source code for use in this project.

├── __init__.py <- Makes {{ cookiecutter.module_name }} a Python module

├── config.py <- Store useful variables and configuration

├── dataset.py <- Scripts to download or generate data

├── features.py <- Code to create features for modeling

├── modeling
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── predict.py <- Code to run model inference with trained models
│ └── train.py <- Code to train models

└── plots.py <- Code to create visualizations
```

## Using v1

If you want to use the old v1 project template, you need to have either the cookiecutter-data-science package or cookiecutter package installed. Then, use either command-line program with the `-c v1` option:

```bash
ccds https://github.com/drivendataorg/cookiecutter-data-science -c v1
# or equivalently
cookiecutter https://github.com/drivendataorg/cookiecutter-data-science -c v1
```
