Hi param devs, I'd like to be able to use paramnb to create a dropdown of URLs that are limited to one or more domains. Since paramnb relies on param's Parameter subclasses, I figured it would be appropriate to create this issue here.
My complete use-case is for a GET request to be issued whenever a URL is selected from the ipywidgets dropdown in paramnb. A callback might then parse more URLs from the response HTML, and the new URLs could be automatically inserted into the same (or a separate) dropdown widget from there. This functionality would be useful for exploring a large directory tree on a remote server, for example, without needing to download all the files in advance.
I can probably get by in the meantime by using the
callback
kwarg inparamnb.Widgets
, but this seems like a common-enough use-case to merit its own parameter. Another potential approach would be to extend FileSelector/MultiFileSelector parameters to accept URLs as arguments.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
