@Ilya Muradyan Is it possible to delegate rendering of an object to Jupyter? Use case: I have an Any object, and I want to render it inside my layout.

Clarification. Iaroslav wants to acces renderers currently registered in the notebook. In theory, it should be possible with the Notebook API.

[Ilya Muradyan]

Yes, I understand. It's not currently possible, but it's rather simple to support

[altavir]

I am not sure that this feature could be used broadly, but it indeed seems to be simple. It probably also possible to add renderers dynamically...

[altavir]

...which opens up a lot of new possibilities.

@altavir @Iaroslav Postovalov Review API please: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-jupyter/pull/183

[Ilya Muradyan]

BTW, this automatically adds a possibility to add new renderers dynamically as @altavir mentioned

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

@Ilya Muradyan Стоп, я тут понял, что это не совсем то, что нужно. Эта функция позволяет делегировать отрисовку значения из ячейки, но я бы хотел делегировать отрисовку произвольного значения

[altavir]

fun renderValue(host: ExecutionHost, value: Any?): Any?
This one seems to allow rendering the value

[Ilya Muradyan]

Nope, value_to_be_rendered in the example is actually arbitrary

[Iaroslav Postovalov]

Got it.

[Ilya Muradyan]

Use 0.9.0-22 version of API with this feature added
