Hi,

May I ask if there is a way to mix bokeh server code and custom JS in a single call back?

For example, I have a button for download, but I want to generate the download file on demand. Something like

def download_func():
# some server side code.
# prepare the target file

# JS code, redirecting the browser to download the file after the preparation is done.

button = Button()
button.on_click(download_func)

``

Something like the readfile() function in PHP that sends a file to user’s browser?

Thanks,

Hongyi

I have found another ugly workaround.

Basically, I created an invisible html asset and attached a CustomJS callback to it.

To trigger this CustomJS function, I simply need to update its value in my python code. Wish there were better ways but I guess this works.
