Embedding Bokeh into HTML with PyScript and Custom JavaScript Callbacks
This article explores the process of embedding Bokeh plots into an HTML page using PyScript, a modern web framework for Python. It covers the creation of a CSS-based resize handle, the implementation of custom JavaScript callbacks to interact with Bokeh plots, and how to pass data back to a specific div on the HTML page.
In this article, we will delve into the integration of Bokeh plots into HTML pages using PyScript, a powerful and easy-to-use framework for Python. We will explore how to create a custom CSS-based resize handle, implement custom JavaScript callbacks to manipulate Bokeh plots, and ensure that these interactions update data displayed in specific divs on the HTML page.
Step 1: Setting Up the Environment
First, ensure you have the necessary libraries installed. You’ll need Bokeh, PyScript, and other supporting packages. Here’s how you can install them:
pip install bokeh pyscript
Step 2: Creating the Basic HTML Structure
Let’s start by setting up a basic HTML structure where we will embed our Bokeh plot.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Bokeh Plot with Resize Handle</title>
<style>
#resize-handle {
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
right: 5px;
