Bokeh HTML Requests Advice

I’m currently running Bokeh 0.12.1 with Django 1.9.8.

I’m running an app with
bokeh serve emptydetails_graph.py

``

Let’s say the emptydetails_graph.py running on the bokeh server is this:

from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_server

p = figure(title="Server Plot")
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])

output_server("hover")

show(p)

I would like to pass an argument from Django to start a new session similar to this:

from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_server
p = figure(title=**STRING PARAMETER FROM DJANGO**)
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])

output_server("hover")

show(p)

Obviously my use case is different, the main goal being I would like to pass a string from Django to a Bokeh App, when creating a new session.

the_script = autoload_server(model=None,app_path='/emptydetails_graph',url="http://127.0.0.1:5006/", **STRING PARAMETER HERE**)

How would I do this?

I read throught the docs and found this http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/server.html#accessing-the-http-request whcih would tell me that my bokeh app should include:

**imports**

args = curdoc().session_context.request.arguments

p = figure(title=**string(args.get('Name')[0]**)
p.circle([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])

output_server("hover")

show(p)

yet I am still confused on how to set the arguments with autoload_server

the_script = autoload_server(model=None,app_path=‘/emptydetails_graph’,url=“http://127.0.0.1:5006/”)

Richard,

That section only applies to bokeh apps run directly on the bokeh server, i.e., run as:

  bokeh serve myapp.py

Then in your autoload call, you could add custom HTML request arguments to the app_path, and when the session is created for that autoload call.

Please not output_server is very limited inherently, and I just opened an issue to discuss deprecating/removing it. A newar identical question was on this list earlier today, please see my longer response there:

  Redirecting to Google Groups

Thanks,

Bryan

Oh sorry about that. this app is currently running on
bokeh serve myapp.py

``

I just picked a random sample app to illustrate the problem of pushing the argument to bokeh. my app doesn’t use output_server().

would this be the right?

the_script = autoload_server(model=None,app_path=’/myapp**?name=“company_name”**’,url=“http://127.0.0.1:5006/”)

and then access it with:

args = curdoc().session_context.request.arguments

name = **string(args.get('name')[0]**)

``

Thanks for the help!
