Writing JupyterLab Renderer Extension

[Travis DePrato]

Hi, all!

I'm in the business of writing a JupyterLab extension for WebIO.jl but can't quite figure it out. In particular, I'd like to be able to retain access to a kernel/notebook specific WebIO instance but I'm not sure how to do that using a renderer plugin.

All of the examples I've seen are purely functional maps from input data to a representation of it, which isn't quite what we want to do (since all of these things are stateful and require access to the same comm). I also tried to parse ipywidgets code but it was greek to me.

Any advice/hints/examples anyone could point me to?
