Hi, I am revisiting Panel after a hiatus.
I am trying to use the date picker within a jupyterlab notebook:
import panel as pn
pn.extension(comms='ipywidgets')
date_picker = pn.widgets.DatePicker()
date_picker
However, the date_picker does nothing when I click on it.
But if I do:
pn.Row(date_picker.controls(jslink=True), date_picker)
Then it works, but it has all this cruft on the left that I don’t want.
I tried pn.Row(date_picker), but I get the same problem where it does nothing. I am totally confused on how to use date picker. The documentation doesn’t show me how to use the date picker without adding the “controls”.
I think the documentation could use some improvement in this regards.
EDIT: Strange, it works ok if running py script. Maybe my jupyterlab environment is not working properly or don’t have the proper extensions loaded?? But I added a color picker to my notebook and color picker works ok. Also noticed the “live” date picker in the documentation with the just the date_picker call doesn’t do anything also.
My environment:
python 3.11.4
panel==1.2.2
bokeh==3.2.2
ipywidgets==8.1.1
jupyter-bokeh==3.0.7
jupyter_client==8.3.1
jupyter_core==5.3.1
jupyterlab-widgets==3.0.9
