Hi,
I have a panel app that requires a bit of data, so it takes ~15 seconds to startup. Currently, I load the data during the creation of the view that I pass to .servable()
. This works, but for the user it appears that nothing is happening while the data are being loaded.
I’m trying to start with showing a simple “please wait” text immediately on startup, and then re-populate my app after the data are loaded. I’m trying to do this with one of the callback functions. Everything seems to run, but the view is not updated. Is there a way to tell Panel that it should update?
import panel as pn
import time
pn.extension()
def view():
template = pn.template.BootstrapTemplate()
template.main.append(pn.pane.Markdown("**Loading ...**"))
# Load dashboard with callback:
# The callback is run (print statements are shown), but the panel app is not updated
pn.state.curdoc.add_next_tick_callback(load_dashboard(template.main))
# Explicitly load the dashboard:
# This works but nothing is shown until data are loaded
# load_dashboard(template.main)()
return template
def load_dashboard(dashboard):
def load_dashboard_callback():
print("Loading")
time.sleep(2)
dashboard.append(pn.widgets.StaticText(name="Status", value="loaded"))
print("Done")
return load_dashboard_callback
if __name__.startswith("bokeh_"):
view().servable(title="Callback testing")
When using the callback, printing template.main.objects
show that things have updated, but it’s not showing on the screen.
