| """Example of adding new methods to Polars DataFrames using decorators and namespace accessors. | |
| Examples | |
| -------- | |
| Make a new method that doubles all values in a DataFrame: | |
| .. code-block:: python | |
| import polars as pl | |
| @new_method | |
| def double(df: pl.DataFrame) -> pl.DataFrame: | |
| return df * 2 | |
| df = pl.DataFrame( | |
| { | |
| "a": [1, 2, 3], | |
| "b": [4, 5, 6], | |
| } | |
| ) | |
| df.double() | |
