Installation

Warning: anywidget is new and under active development. It is not yet ready for production as APIs are subject to change.

anywidget is available on PyPI and may be installed with pip:

pip install "anywidget[dev]"

It is also available on conda-forge. If you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed on your computer, you can install anywidget with the following command:

conda install -c conda-forge anywidget

Usage

import anywidget
import traitlets

class CounterWidget(anywidget.AnyWidget):
    # Widget front-end JavaScript code
    _esm = """
    export function render({ model, el }) {
      let getCount = () => model.get("count");
      let button = document.createElement("button");
      button.innerHTML = `count is ${getCount()}`;
      button.addEventListener("click", () => {
        model.set("count", getCount() + 1);
        model.save_changes();
      });
      model.on("change:count", () => {
        button.innerHTML = `count is ${getCount()}`;
      });
      el.appendChild(button);
    }
    """
    # Stateful property that can be accessed by JavaScript & Python
    count = traitlets.Int(0).tag(sync=True)

Front-end code can also live in separate files (recommend):

import pathlib
import anywidget
import traitlets

class CounterWidget(anywidget.AnyWidget):
    _esm = pathlib.Path("index.js")
    _css = pathlib.Path("styles.css")

    count = traitlets.Int(0).tag(sync=True)
