+- In the classic Notebook, `I could use custom Javascript outputed by a cell to programatically
|
|
|
+ control the Notebook <https://stackoverflow.com/a/32769976/907060>`__. Can I do the same thing in JupyterLab?

|
|
|
+ We intentially do not support this workflow. Instead, we reccomend you display a new mimetype and define a
|
|
|
+ custom renderer for that in a JupyterLab extension. This makes sure the output is not tied directly to JupyterLab
|
|
|
+ so that another frontend could still render it. Also, if the JupyterLab API changes then
|
|
|
+ this change can be supported in your extension and the existing notebooks will still work without changing their
|
|
|
+ outputs. If you have comments or suggestions on changes here, we have `an issue <https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/4623>`__
|
|
|
+ to discuss this decision.
