bokeh.application.handlers.handler¶

Provide a base class for Bokeh Application handler classes.

When a Bokeh server session is initiated, the Bokeh server asks the Application for a new Document to service the session. To do this, the Application first creates a new empty Document, then it passes this new Document to the modify_document method of each of its handlers. When all handlers have updated the Document, it is used to service the user session.

Below is an example outline of a custom handler that might modify documents based off information in some database:

class DatabaseHandler(Handler):
    """ A Bokeh Application handler to initialize Documents from a database

    """

    def modify_document(self, doc: Document) -> None:
        # do some data base lookup here to generate 'plot'

        # add the plot to the document (i.e modify the document)
        doc.add_root(plot)

class Handler[source]¶

Provide a mechanism for Bokeh applications to build up new Bokeh Documents.

Public Data Attributes:

`error`	If the handler fails, may contain a related error message.
`error_detail`	If the handler fails, may contain a traceback or other details.
`failed`	`True` if the handler failed to modify the doc
`safe_to_fork`

Public Methods:

`__init__`()
`modify_document`(doc)	Modify an application document in a specified manner.
`on_server_loaded`(server_context)	Execute code when the server is first started.
`on_server_unloaded`(server_context)	Execute code when the server cleanly exits.
`on_session_created`(session_context)	Execute code when a new session is created.
`on_session_destroyed`(session_context)	Execute code when a session is destroyed.
`process_request`(request)	Processes incoming HTTP request returning a dictionary of additional data to add to the session_context.
`static_path`()	Return a path to app-specific static resources, if applicable.
`url_path`()	Returns a default URL path, if applicable.

modify_document(doc: bokeh.document.document.Document) → None[source]¶

Modify an application document in a specified manner.

When a Bokeh server session is initiated, the Bokeh server asks the Application for a new Document to service the session. To do this, the Application first creates a new empty Document, then it passes this Document to the modify_document method of each of its handlers. When all handlers have updated the Document, it is used to service the user session.

Subclasses must implement this method

Parameters: doc (Document) – A Bokeh Document to update in-place
Returns: Document

on_server_loaded(server_context: bokeh.application.application.ServerContext) → None[source]¶

Execute code when the server is first started.

Subclasses may implement this method to provide for any one-time initialization that is necessary after the server starts, but before any sessions are created.

Parameters: server_context (ServerContext) –

on_server_unloaded(server_context: bokeh.application.application.ServerContext) → None[source]¶

Execute code when the server cleanly exits. (Before stopping the server’s IOLoop.)

Subclasses may implement this method to provide for any one-time tear down that is necessary before the server exits.

Parameters: server_context (ServerContext) –

Warning

In practice this code may not run, since servers are often killed by a signal.

async on_session_created(session_context: bokeh.application.application.SessionContext) → None[source]¶

Execute code when a new session is created.

Subclasses may implement this method to provide for any per-session initialization that is necessary before modify_doc is called for the session.

Parameters: session_context (SessionContext) –

async on_session_destroyed(session_context: bokeh.application.application.SessionContext) → None[source]¶

Execute code when a session is destroyed.

Subclasses may implement this method to provide for any per-session tear-down that is necessary when sessions are destroyed.

Parameters: session_context (SessionContext) –

process_request(request: tornado.httputil.HTTPServerRequest) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶

Processes incoming HTTP request returning a dictionary of additional data to add to the session_context.

Parameters: request – HTTP request
Returns: A dictionary of JSON serializable data to be included on the session context.

static_path() → str | None[source]¶: Return a path to app-specific static resources, if applicable.

url_path() → str | None[source]¶

Returns a default URL path, if applicable.

Handlers subclasses may optionally implement this method, to inform the Bokeh application what URL it should be installed at.

If multiple handlers specify url_path the Application will use the value from the first handler in its list of handlers.

property error: str | None¶: If the handler fails, may contain a related error message.

property error_detail: str | None¶: If the handler fails, may contain a traceback or other details.

property failed: bool¶: True if the handler failed to modify the doc
