How to develop a Panel app in 3 simple steps#

  • Write the app

>>> import panel as pn
>>> pn.extension(sizing_mode="stretch_width", template="fast")
>>> pn.state.template.param.update(title="My Data App")
>>> pn.panel(some_python_object).servable()
  • Run your app

$ panel serve my_script.py –dev –show

or

$ panel serve my_notebook.ipynb –dev –show

The app will be available in your browser!

  • Change your code and save it

The app will reload with your changes!

You can also add automatic reload to jupyterlab. Check out https://blog.holoviz.org/panel_0.12.0.html#JupyterLab-previews

Like Column and Row, Accordion has a list-like API that allows interactively updating and modifying the cards using the methods append, extend, clear, insert, pop, remove and __setitem__.

Reference: https://panel.holoviz.org/reference/layouts/Accordion.html

Example:

>>> pn.Accordion(some_pane_with_a_name, ("Plot", some_plot))

class panel.Feed(*objects, **params)[source]#

Bases: Column

The Feed class inherits from the Column layout, thereby enabling the arrangement of multiple panel objects within a vertical container. However, it restrictively manages the number of objects displayed at any moment. This layout is particularly useful for efficiently rendering a substantial number of objects.

Similar to Column, the Feed provides a list-like API, including methods such as append, extend, clear, insert, pop, remove, and __setitem__. These methods facilitate interactive updates and modifications to the layout.

Reference: https://panel.holoviz.org/reference/layouts/Feed.html

Bases: Panel

The GridSpec is an array like layout that allows arranging multiple Panel objects in a grid using a simple API to assign objects to individual grid cells or to a grid span.

Other layout containers function like lists, but a GridSpec has an API similar to a 2D array, making it possible to use 2D assignment to populate, index, and slice the grid.

See GridStack for a similar layout that allows the user to resize and drag the cells.

Reference: https://panel.holoviz.org/reference/layouts/GridSpec.html

Example:

>>> import panel as pn
>>> gspec = pn.GridSpec(width=800, height=600)
>>> gspec[:,   0  ] = pn.Spacer(styles=dict(background='red'))
>>> gspec[0,   1:3] = pn.Spacer(styles=dict(background='green'))
>>> gspec[1,   2:4] = pn.Spacer(styles=dict(background='orange'))
>>> gspec[2,   1:4] = pn.Spacer(styles=dict(background='blue'))

class panel.HSpacer(refs=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Spacer

The HSpacer layout provides responsive horizontal spacing.

Using this component we can space objects equidistantly in a layout and allow the empty space to shrink when the browser is resized.

How-to: https://panel.holoviz.org/how_to/layout/spacing.html#spacer-components

Example:

>>> pn.Row(
...     pn.layout.HSpacer(), 'Item 1',
...     pn.layout.HSpacer(), 'Item 2',
...     pn.layout.HSpacer()
... )

Parameter Definitions


Parameters inherited from:

panel.viewable.Layoutable: align, aspect_ratio, css_classes, design, height, min_width, min_height, max_width, max_height, margin, styles, stylesheets, tags, width, width_policy, height_policy, visible

panel.viewable.Viewable: loading

sizing_mode = Parameter(constant=True, default='stretch_width', label='Sizing mode', readonly=True)

How the component should size itself. This is a high-level setting for maintaining width and height of the component. To gain more fine grained control over sizing, use width_policy, height_policy and aspect_ratio instead (those take precedence over sizing_mode). "fixed" Component is not responsive. It will retain its original width and height regardless of any subsequent browser window resize events. "stretch_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The height of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The width of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_both" Component is completely responsive, independently in width and height, and will occupy all the available horizontal and vertical space, even if this changes the aspect ratio of the component. "scale_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_both" Component will responsively resize to both the available width and height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio.

class panel.Template(template: str | _Template, nb_template: str | _Template | None = None, items: dict[str, Any] | None = None, **params)[source]#

Bases: BaseTemplate

A Template is a high-level component to render multiple Panel objects into a single HTML document defined through a Jinja2 template. The Template object is given a Jinja2 template and then allows populating this template by adding Panel objects, which are given unique names. These unique names may then be referenced in the template to insert the rendered Panel object at a specific location. For instance, given a Jinja2 template that defines roots A and B like this:

<div> {{ embed(roots.A) }} </div> <div> {{ embed(roots.B) }} </div>

We can then populate the template by adding panel ‘A’ and ‘B’ to the Template object:

template.add_panel(‘A’, pn.panel(‘A’)) template.add_panel(‘B’, pn.panel(‘B’))

Once a template has been fully populated it can be rendered using the same API as other Panel objects. Note that all roots that have been declared using the {{ embed(roots.A) }} syntax in the Jinja2 template must be defined when rendered.

Since embedding complex CSS frameworks inside a notebook can have undesirable side-effects and a notebook does not afford the same amount of screen space a Template may given separate template and nb_template objects. This allows for different layouts when served as a standalone server and when used in the notebook.

Methods

add_panel(name, panel[, tags])

Add panels to the Template, which may then be referenced by the given name using the jinja2 embed macro.

add_variable(name, value)

Add parameters to the template, which may then be referenced by the given name in the Jinja2 template.

Parameter Definitions


Parameters inherited from:

panel.template.base.BaseTemplate: config, design, location, theme

add_panel(name: str, panel: Any, tags: list[str] = []) None[source]#

Add panels to the Template, which may then be referenced by the given name using the jinja2 embed macro.

Parameters:
namestr

The name to refer to the panel by in the template

panelpanel.Viewable

A Panel component to embed in the template.

add_variable(name: str, value: Any) None[source]#

Add parameters to the template, which may then be referenced by the given name in the Jinja2 template.

Parameters:
namestr

The name to refer to the panel by in the template

valueobject

Any valid Jinja2 variable type.

class panel.VSpacer(refs=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Spacer

The VSpacer layout provides responsive vertical spacing.

Using this component we can space objects equidistantly in a layout and allow the empty space to shrink when the browser is resized.

Reference: https://panel.holoviz.org/how_to/layout/spacing.html#spacer-components

Example:

>>> pn.Column(
...     pn.layout.VSpacer(), 'Item 1',
...     pn.layout.VSpacer(), 'Item 2',
...     pn.layout.VSpacer()
... )

Parameter Definitions


Parameters inherited from:

panel.viewable.Layoutable: align, aspect_ratio, css_classes, design, height, min_width, min_height, max_width, max_height, margin, styles, stylesheets, tags, width, width_policy, height_policy, visible

panel.viewable.Viewable: loading

sizing_mode = Parameter(constant=True, default='stretch_height', label='Sizing mode', readonly=True)

How the component should size itself. This is a high-level setting for maintaining width and height of the component. To gain more fine grained control over sizing, use width_policy, height_policy and aspect_ratio instead (those take precedence over sizing_mode). "fixed" Component is not responsive. It will retain its original width and height regardless of any subsequent browser window resize events. "stretch_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The height of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The width of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_both" Component is completely responsive, independently in width and height, and will occupy all the available horizontal and vertical space, even if this changes the aspect ratio of the component. "scale_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_both" Component will responsively resize to both the available width and height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio.

class panel.WidgetBox(*objects: Any, **params: Any)[source]#

Bases: ListPanel

The WidgetBox layout allows arranging multiple panel objects in a vertical (or horizontal) container.

It is largely identical to the Column layout, but has some default styling that makes widgets be clearly grouped together visually.

It has a list-like API with methods to append, extend, clear, insert, pop, remove and __setitem__, which make it possible to interactively update and modify the layout.
