# bokeh.core.property.containers

Provide special versions of list and dict, that can automatically notify about changes when used for property values.

Mutations to these values are detected, and the properties owning the collection is notified of the changes. Consider the following model definition:

    class SomeModel(Model):

        options = List(String)

If we have an instance of this model, `m` then we can set the entire value of the `options` property at once:

    m.options = ["foo", "bar"]

When we do this in the context of a Bokeh server application that is being viewed in a browser, this change is automatically noticed, and the corresponding BokehJS property in the browser is synchronized, possibly causing some change in the visual state of the application in the browser.

But it is also desirable that changes inside the `options` list also be detected. That is, the following kinds of operations should also be automatically synchronized between BokehJS and a Bokeh server:

    m.options.append("baz")

    m.options[2] = "quux"

    m.options.insert(0, "bar")

The classes in this module provide this functionality.

Note

These classes form part of the very low-level machinery that implements the Bokeh model and property system. It is unlikely that any of these classes or their methods will be applicable to any standard usage or to anyone who is not directly developing on Bokeh’s own infrastructure.

class `bokeh.core.property.containers.``PropertyValueColumnData`(*args, **kwargs)

  A property value container for ColumnData that supports change notifications on mutating operations.

  This property value container affords specialized code paths for updating the .data dictionary for ColumnDataSource. When possible, more efficient ColumnDataChangedEvent hints are generated to perform the updates:

      x[i] = y
      x.update

class `bokeh.core.property.containers.``PropertyValueContainer`(*args, **kwargs)

  A base class for property container classes that support change notifications on mutating operations.

  This class maintains an internal list of property owners, and also provides a private mechanism for methods wrapped with `notify_owners()` to update those owners when mutating changes occur.

class `bokeh.core.property.containers.``PropertyValueDict`(*args, **kwargs)

  A dict property value container that supports change notifications on mutating operations.

  When a Bokeh model has a `List` property, the `PropertyValueLists` are transparently created to wrap those values. These `PropertyValueList` values are subject to normal property validation. If the property type `foo = Dict(Str, Str)` then attempting to set `x.foo['bar'] = 10` will raise an error.

  Instances of `PropertyValueDict` can be eplicitly created by passing any object that the standard dict initializer accepts, for example:

      >>> PropertyValueDict(dict(a=10, b=20))
      {'a': 10, 'b': 20}

      >>> PropertyValueDict(a=10, b=20)
      {'a': 10, 'b': 20}

      >>> PropertyValueDict([('a', 10), ['b', 20]])
      {'a': 10, 'b': 20}

  The following mutating operations on dicts automatically trigger notifications:

      del x[y]
      x[i] = y
      x.clear
      x.pop
      x.popitem
      x.setdefault
      x.update

  `__delitem__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__delitem__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__setitem__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__setitem__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `clear`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `clear` instrumented to notify property owners

  `pop`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `pop` instrumented to notify property owners

  `popitem`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `popitem` instrumented to notify property owners

  `setdefault`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `setdefault` instrumented to notify property owners

  `update`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `update` instrumented to notify property owners

class `bokeh.core.property.containers.``PropertyValueList`(*args, **kwargs)

  A list property value container that supports change notifications on mutating operations.

  When a Bokeh model has a `List` property, the `PropertyValueLists` are transparently created to wrap those values. These `PropertyValueList` values are subject to normal property validation. If the property type `foo = List(Str)` then attempting to set `x.foo[0] = 10` will raise an error.

  Instances of `PropertyValueList` can be explicitly created by passing any object that the standard list initializer accepts, for example:

      >>> PropertyValueList([10, 20])
      [10, 20]

      >>> PropertyValueList((10, 20))
      [10, 20]

  The following mutating operations on lists automatically trigger notifications:

      del x[y]
      del x[i:j]
      x += y
      x *= y
      x[i] = y
      x[i:j] = y
      x.append
      x.extend
      x.insert
      x.pop
      x.remove
      x.reverse
      x.sort

  `__delitem__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__delitem__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__delslice__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__delslice__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__iadd__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__iadd__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__imul__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__imul__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__setitem__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__setitem__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `__setslice__`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `__setslice__` instrumented to notify property owners

  `append`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `append` instrumented to notify property owners

  `extend`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `extend` instrumented to notify property owners

  `insert`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `insert` instrumented to notify property owners

  `pop`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `pop` instrumented to notify property owners

  `remove`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `remove` instrumented to notify property owners

  `reverse`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `reverse` instrumented to notify property owners

  `sort`(*args, **kwargs)

    Container method `sort` instrumented to notify property owners

`bokeh.core.property.containers.``notify_owner`(func)

  A decorator for mutating methods of property container classes that notifies owners of the property container about mutating changes.

  Parameters: | func (callable) – the container method to wrap in a notification
  Returns: | wrapped method

  Examples

  A `__setitem__` could be wrapped like this:

      # x[i] = y
      @notify_owner
      def __setitem__(self, i, y):
          return super(PropertyValueDict, self).__setitem__(i, y)

  The returned wrapped method will have a docstring indicating what original method it is wrapping.
