I am working with Jupyter Notebook and am trying to get suggestions to work with a text box as you type characters in. A good example I found is here.
I want to give suggestions as the user types characters, so the list of suggestions will change for every character typed.
I am new to Jupyter and am still trying to learn all the functionality. I need to rely on the base Jupyter tools, such as the ipython widgets (can't install other packages). Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you tried using bokeh's AutocompleteInput for this?
Check out the following example from:
Access data from bokeh widgets in a jupyter notebook
from bokeh.models.widgets.inputs import AutocompleteInput
from bokeh.io import output_notebook
from bokeh.plotting import show
from bokeh.models import CustomJS
output_notebook()
callback = CustomJS(code="""
if (IPython.notebook.kernel !== undefined) {
var kernel = IPython.notebook.kernel;
cmd = "widget_value = '" + cb_obj.value + "'";
kernel.execute(cmd, {}, {});
}
""")
txt_input = AutocompleteInput(completions=['val1', 'val2'], callback=callback)
show(txt_input)
print(widget_value)
EDIT: I've just seen you can't install packages. However, the above answer requires bokeh to be installed.
