[Bug][Jupyter Widget] Is there a way to use kepler in colab?

Describe the bug I’d like to be able to use kepler in the context of google colab notebooks. It appears to be not currently possible. Following the steps in the user guide doesn’t generate a map, instead only showing a link to the user guide.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Open a new google colab notebook, try to make a map, such as with the code

from keplergl import KeplerGl
map_1 = KeplerGl()
map_1

Which should yield a map, but instead gives:

User Guide: https://github.com/keplergl/kepler.gl/blob/master/docs/keplergl-jupyter/user-guide.md

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Python version: python3
• google colab
• keplergl Widget version 0.1.2

Have you guys figured out how to use Kepler.gl on Colab? Got the same issue with andrew.

Colab now supports custom widgets like ipyleaflet and keplergl (https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/498#issuecomment-910755873). Check out this notebook example: https://gishub.org/leafmap_colab.

Adding the following code block when displaying the map. It needs to be in the same code block where the map is displayed.

from IPython.display import Javascript
display(Javascript('''
  google.colab.widgets.installCustomManager('https://ssl.gstatic.com/colaboratory-static/widgets/colab-cdn-widget-manager/6a14374f468a145a/manager.min.js');
'''))
