How to support custom interactive visualizations?

[mkhorton]

Hi everyone,

I'm excited by support for interactive visualizations, e.g. https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/interactive/interactive.html, but I'm feeling lost as to how to support my own extension.

I have a Jupyter Lab extension written for my own project -- it's super simple. But I'm lost between the variety of different ways to write extensions, and how this has changed over different versions of notebook, lab, etc. Existing examples from the community (e.g., plotly, bokeh) also seem quite complex.

If anyone has a pointer to a simple example, or suggestions for how to add support, I'd be grateful!

Thank you,

Matthew
