Change data_id?

[vijaydewan]

Hey Andrew,

Thanks again for all of the great work on this project! I was wondering if there is an easy way to change the data_id once data is loaded?

e.g., --

startup("", data=test data, name="test", data_id=1)

[code to change data_id from 1 to 2]

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

@vijaydewan there currently is not an easy way to do this. I can work on adding a function update_id(2) to instance objects. For example:

import pandas as pd
import dtale

d = dtale.show(pd.DataFrame([1,2,3,4,5])) # data_id -> 1
d.update_id(2) # data_id -> 2

I can also add a global function:

import pandas as pd
import dtale

d = dtale.show(pd.DataFrame([1,2,3,4,5]))
dtale.update_id(d._data_id, 2)

Will update once it's released. Hope this is what you were picturing
