bokeh.document.document¶

Provide the Document class, which is a container for Bokeh Models to be reflected to the client side BokehJS library.

As a concrete example, consider a column layout with Slider and Select widgets, and a plot with some tools, an axis and grid, and a glyph renderer for circles. A simplified representation oh this document might look like the figure below:

A Bokeh Document is a collection of Bokeh Models (e.g. plots, tools, glyphs, etc.) that can be serialized as a single collection.

class Document(**kwargs)[source]

The basic unit of serialization for Bokeh.

Document instances collect Bokeh models (e.g. plots, layouts, widgets, etc.) so that they may be reflected into the BokehJS client runtime. Because models may refer to other models (e.g., a plot has a list of renderers), it is not generally useful or meaningful to convert individual models to JSON. Accordingly, the Document is thus the smallest unit of serialization for Bokeh.

add_next_tick_callback(callback)[source]

Add callback to be invoked once on the next tick of the event loop.

Parameters:	callback (callable) – A callback function to execute on the next tick.
Returns:	can be used with remove_next_tick_callback
Return type:	NextTickCallback

Note

Next tick callbacks only work within the context of a Bokeh server session. This function will no effect when Bokeh outputs to standalone HTML or Jupyter notebook cells.

add_periodic_callback(callback, period_milliseconds)[source]

Add a callback to be invoked on a session periodically.

Parameters:	callback (callable) – A callback function to execute periodically period_milliseconds (int) – Number of milliseconds between each callback execution.
Returns:	can be used with remove_periodic_callback
Return type:	PeriodicCallback

Note

Periodic callbacks only work within the context of a Bokeh server session. This function will no effect when Bokeh outputs to standalone HTML or Jupyter notebook cells.

add_root(model, setter=None)[source]

Add a model as a root of this Document.

Any changes to this model (including to other models referred to by it) will trigger on_change callbacks registered on this document.

Parameters:

model (Model) – The model to add as a root of this document. setter (ClientSession or ServerSession or None, optional) – This is used to prevent “boomerang” updates to Bokeh apps. (default: None) In the context of a Bokeh server application, incoming updates to properties will be annotated with the session that is doing the updating. This value is propagated through any subsequent change notifications that the update triggers. The session can compare the event setter to itself, and suppress any updates that originate from itself.

add_timeout_callback(callback, timeout_milliseconds)[source]

Add callback to be invoked once, after a specified timeout passes.

Parameters:	callback (callable) – A callback function to execute after timeout timeout_milliseconds (int) – Number of milliseconds before callback execution.
Returns:	can be used with remove_timeout_callback
Return type:	TimeoutCallback

Note

Timeout callbacks only work within the context of a Bokeh server session. This function will no effect when Bokeh outputs to standalone HTML or Jupyter notebook cells.

apply_json_patch(patch, setter=None)[source]

Apply a JSON patch object and process any resulting events.

Parameters:

patch (JSON-data) – The JSON-object containing the patch to apply. setter (ClientSession or ServerSession or None, optional) – This is used to prevent “boomerang” updates to Bokeh apps. (default: None) In the context of a Bokeh server application, incoming updates to properties will be annotated with the session that is doing the updating. This value is propagated through any subsequent change notifications that the update triggers. The session can compare the event setter to itself, and suppress any updates that originate from itself.

Returns:

None

apply_json_patch_string(patch)[source]

Apply a JSON patch provided as a string.

Parameters:	patch (str) –
Returns:	None

clear()[source]

Remove all content from the document but do not reset title.

Returns:	None

delete_modules()[source]

Clean up after any modules created by this Document when its session is destroyed.

classmethod from_json(json)[source]

Load a document from JSON.

json (JSON-data) :

A JSON-encoded document to create a new Document from.

Returns:
Return type:	Document

classmethod from_json_string(json)[source]

Load a document from JSON.

json (str) :

A string with a JSON-encoded document to create a new Document from.

Returns:
Return type:	Document

get_model_by_id(model_id)[source]

Find the model for the given ID in this document, or None if it is not found.

Parameters:	model_id (str) – The ID of the model to search for
Returns:	Model or None

get_model_by_name(name)[source]

Find the model for the given name in this document, or None if it is not found.

Parameters:	name (str) – The name of the model to search for
Returns:	Model or None

hold(policy='combine')[source]

Activate a document hold.

While a hold is active, no model changes will be applied, or trigger callbacks. Once unhold is called, the events collected during the hold will be applied according to the hold policy.

Parameters:

hold ('combine' or 'collect', optional) – Whether events collected during a hold should attempt to be combined (default: ‘combine’) When set to 'collect' all events will be collected and replayed in order as-is when unhold is called. When set to 'combine' Bokeh will attempt to combine compatible events together. Typically, different events that change the same property on the same mode can be combined. For example, if the following sequence occurs: doc.hold('combine') slider.value = 10 slider.value = 11 slider.value = 12 Then only one callback, for the last slider.value = 12 will be triggered.

Returns:

None

Note

hold only applies to document change events, i.e. setting properties on models. It does not apply to events such as ButtonClick, etc.

on_change(*callbacks)[source]

Provide callbacks to invoke if the document or any Model reachable from its roots changes.

on_session_destroyed(*callbacks)[source]

Provide callbacks to invoke when the session serving the Document is destroyed

remove_next_tick_callback(callback_obj)[source]

Remove a callback added earlier with add_next_tick_callback.

Parameters:	callback_obj – a value returned from add_next_tick_callback
Returns:	None
Raises:	ValueError, if the callback was never added or has already been run or removed

remove_on_change(*callbacks)[source]

Remove a callback added earlier with on_change.

Raises:	KeyError, if the callback was never added

remove_periodic_callback(callback_obj)[source]

Remove a callback added earlier with add_periodic_callback

Parameters:	callback_obj – a value returned from add_periodic_callback
Returns:	None
Raises:	ValueError, if the callback was never added or has already been removed

remove_root(model, setter=None)[source]

Remove a model as root model from this Document.

Changes to this model may still trigger on_change callbacks on this document, if the model is still referred to by other root models.

Parameters:

model (Model) – The model to add as a root of this document. setter (ClientSession or ServerSession or None, optional) – This is used to prevent “boomerang” updates to Bokeh apps. (default: None) In the context of a Bokeh server application, incoming updates to properties will be annotated with the session that is doing the updating. This value is propagated through any subsequent change notifications that the update triggers. The session can compare the event setter to itself, and suppress any updates that originate from itself.

remove_timeout_callback(callback_obj)[source]
