A C++ backend for Jupyter interactive widgets.
Introduction
xwidgets is a C++ implementation of the Jupyter interactive widgets protocol.
The Python reference implementation is available in the
ipywidgets project.
xwidgets enables the use of the Jupyter interactive widgets in the C++
notebook, powered by the xeus-cling kernel and the cling C++ interpreter
from CERN. xwidgets can also be used to create applications making use of the
Jupyter interactive widgets without the C++ kernel per se.
Usage
Launch the jupyter notebook with jupyter notebook and launch a new C++
notebook by selecting the xeus C++14 kernel in the new dropdown.
Installation
We provide a package for the mamba (or conda) package manager.
- Installing
xwidgetsand the C++ kernel
mamba install xeus-cling xwidgets -c conda-forge
Then, the front-end extension must be installed for either the classic notebook or JupyterLab.
- Installing the extension for the classic notebook
mamba install widgetsnbextension -c conda-forge
Installation from sources
Or you can directly install it from the sources if you have all the dependencies already installed:
cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=your_install_prefix
make install

Packages jupyterlab_widgets and widgetsnbextension are not dependencies per se, but
hold the frontend counterparts for JupyterLab and the classic notebook respectively that must be installed
in the environment of the Jupyter server.
