On_init in js callback

Hi - I have been trying to find out if can inject some JS code that can run on initialization of a specific component or on initialization of the bokeh app or something…basically something that triggers when a component or all components have loaded?

Not yet, it seems: Hook for callback upon document init · Issue #4272 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub
But maybe my example from that issue will work for you.

Is your work around for bokeh serve or can it also be used for customJS?

I am using customJS

The answer is right there at the end of my post at Hook for callback upon document init · Issue #4272 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub

aha ok nice…will it also work when using json_item instead of save/show ?

I don’t know.

I get this error when i try to run your full example with the only change that i use json_item instead of save:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    119 
    120     def finish(): pass

ValueError: OutputDocumentFor expects a sequence of Models

Do you know how this could be fixed?

According to the docstring of json_item, it expects a single model and not a list of models.

Given that the implementation of json_item is just 6 lines, I would just copy it and modify it to my needs in my own code so it can receive a list of models.

ok yes…that makes sense…i did that, and I am getting this javascript error now:

Error: Model 'IdleDocObserver' does not exist. This could be due to a widget or a custom model not being registered before first usage.

Any idea why i am getting that?

My code looks like this:

        all_plots = column(row(...)) //truncated
        models = [idle_doc_observer, all_plots]
        with OutputDocumentFor(models) as doc:
            doc.title = ""
            docs_json = standalone_docs_json(models)

        doc = list(docs_json.values())[0]
        root_id = doc['roots']['root_ids'][0]

        return {
            'target_id' : 'my_plot',
            'root_id'   : root_id,
            'doc'       : doc,
        }

is that not correct?

Here my experience ends. You may want to look at how file_html works, especially the call to bundle_for_objs_and_resources since that’s the function that compiles all custom models.
Feel free to also open an feature request on GitHub for this.

Custom models are not currently supported with json_item
