Dynamic aggregation without a server

[AhmedThahir]

I like to make a quick draft reports by exporting Jupyter Notebook to HTML, before making dash applications.

This is what I could make of from the documentation.

Is it possible for me to achieve dynamic aggregation without a server?

Hi @AhmedThahir,

Great question, however for me, it is not 100% clear what you mean with dynamic aggregation without a server. Do you mean:

• Allowing dynamic aggregation within a serialized HTML of a notebook: this will never work, as our dynamic aggregation logic is written in Python, and thus a python kernel is needed to achieve this.
• Allowing dynamic aggregation without starting a server: this can be achieved with the FigureWidgetResampler.

Additionally, as for now, both FigureWidget and FigureWidgetResampler do not serialize into a plotly-interactive figure when converting a notebook into HTML. As a workaround, you can use the .show method on such a figure. I suppose this should be included aswell into the FAQ section.

Hope this answers your question.

Yeppp exactly what I thought. Thanks again!

Again, this can be found from the documentation, but it's not very clear. If you could add this also as
a question in the FAQ, it'd be great.

... as our dynamic aggregation logic is written in Python, and thus a python kernel is needed to achieve this.

Not for now, but a potential idea
to consider would be to use PyScript only for the dynamic section? I'm not sure if it'd work tho.

Very interesting remark! Will create an issue indicating that we should further explore this option :)
