The first example in the repo and the validation report table

[aborruso]

Hi,
first of all, thank you, this is a great project.

In the github readme we have this first example

If run it in ipython I have the source data table, I do not have the validation report table.

Out[10]:
Validate(data=shape: (13, 8)

How to have the validation report table? Wouldn't it be better to modify the code of the examples so that they return the validation report table?

Thank you

@aborruso

Sorry you ran into this problem. I'll mention that in the REPL you have to do this:

validation.get_tabular_report().show()

Could you try that yourself just so I can be sure it works for you as well?

[aborruso]

Thank you, it works.

Where can I launch it from to see it in HTML directly? In quarto?

[rich-iannone]

Quarto works well for this, and the project website (https://posit-dev.github.io/pointblank/) was generated using Quarto/quartodoc.

I'll definitely revise the README and introductory examples to advise others using console/ipython on how to display the HTML tables.
