React with Panel

Hello !!

A week ago I saw this issue in bokeh about react grid layout https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/10276 . React grid layout (https://github.com/STRML/react-grid-layout)
is a grid layout system for React. It is responsive and supports breakpoints.

After a while I could adapt to work in panel while serving static-dirs (panel serve --show pnrct.py --static-dirs assets=./assets).

Here is the repository where the code can be seen. https://github.com/nghenzi/panel-react . A snapshot of the react grid layout working is here

I use the templates of panel

import panel as pn 
import holoviews as hv 
from holoviews import dim, opts
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader

hv.extension('bokeh')

env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader('.'))
jinja_template = env.get_template('./index.html')

tmpl = pn.Template(jinja_template)

tmpl.add_panel('A', pn.Row(hv.Curve([1, 2, 3]).opts(responsive=True),
                            sizing_mode='scale_both', 
                            margin=(0,0,50,0)
                            )
                )
tmpl.add_panel('B', hv.Curve([1, 2, 3]))
tmpl.add_variable('title', 'Custom Template')

tmpl.servable('title')

and the template is

{% extends base %}
{% block preamble %}

Now I’m trying to use the Responsive grid layout (import { Responsive as ResponsiveGridLayout } from ‘react-grid-layout’;), but I need the import and they don’t work on the client. Can you imagine how to use it? I need to do something else? I tried to import Requirejs because in the console appears the errors (Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined) but it doesn’t work. Do I need to build a custom panel extension ? some guideline or clue will be very grateful.

Hi @nghenzi

Thanks so much for sharing. Unfortunately i don’t know about the error.

Its examples like these we need in order to understand how powerful Panel is and can be.

I was actually wondering how to use react, vue or Angular to extend Panel. This is a Great start for me.

If you improve the template please share here again.

Thanks.

Hi @Marc

I solved the error of the Requirejs, it is because I know little about javascript. The imports don’t work when rendering React in html. If I use ReactGridLayout.Responsive instead of responsive is working.

Here is the template

{% extends base %}

Breakpoints still need to be enabled to support different screen sizes, but it is wip yet. I want to do something similar to https://play.grafana.org/. Grafana is based on react grid layout too.

https://play.grafana.org is so awesome.

Please share with the community in any way you can. You can contribute in one or more of the following ways.

  • Share working code examples with screenshots on Discourse.
  • Share on social media like Twitter.
  • Share as a blog post.
  • Share as a notebook in the Panel Gallery
  • Share as PR to Panel.
  • Share as a repository
  • Share as an easy to use package (or get me to include it in the awesome-panel-extensions package).
  • Let me share it as an example at awesome-panel.org.

I know it is work to do. But it will really, really help the Panel community and help move Panel forward. We need awesome, easy to use templates.

FYI. there is actually work going on for easy to use templates as a part of Panel. See




See also https://panel.holoviz.org/gallery/demos/VTKSlicer.html#demos-gallery-vtkslicer, https://github.com/LeonvanKouwen/elvis and https://github.com/MarcSkovMadsen/awesome-panel/blob/master/package/awesome_panel/application/templates/material/material_template.html for other templates.

FYI @nghenzi . I also see other perspectives in combing Panel with React (or Vue or Angular).

We would be able to wrap awesome libraries like https://material-ui.com/ or https://vuetifyjs.com/en/ so that our Panel apps could be just as cool and responsive as if we used modern .js frameworks our selves.

I would really, really like to learn this and share the knowledge. And have easy to use libraries of material layouts and widgets available in Panel or in an extension package.

I’ve started writing down how to create Panel extensions and Bokeh Extensions in particular.

I would really appreciate input from you or any one else who can share working code examples, relevant links, guides etc on how to use React, Vue or Angular in combination with Bokeh Typescript models.
