Hi @UMFRQDVU1, this should be possible, portal does work with babashka. All you need to do is p/open portal from bb and push the data to it via tap>. Then you can select the table-viewer. You can even add metadata to your data to select a default viewer. Let me know if something is unclear.

Hi @U1G869VNV yea the problem I think is I can’t block the thread so when bb completes it breaks the connection to the portal

And is there docs on adding meta data

It's not currently documented but an example can be found here: https://github.com/djblue/portal/blob/master/src/examples/data.cljc#L82

(with-meta <data> {:portal.viewer/default :portal.viewer/table}) should work

I am not sure what you mean by can't block the thread. As long as the bb script is running, you should always be able to send data to portal.

Data is always sent async to portal

yea the problem is my script calls an api, transforms some data spits out an output and exits. So I launch portal but then script exits leaving it orphaned

Is there a problem with keeping the bb script running?

well thats the part I am confused about i.e. keeping the script blocked while user examines portal, then exit script when portal closes

Ohh, are you are asking how to keep bb from exiting? https://github.com/djblue/portal/blob/master/src/portal/main.clj#L26 is how I do it for portal.main

You can also add

(.addShutdownHook
     (Runtime/getRuntime)
     (Thread. #(p/close)))

:thinking_face:

That works Thanks!!!\

I did put in a feature request for context sensitive displays, been looking at the inspector code may have some patches when I figure this out

I responded, not sure where the better place is to have the conversation 😆

Cool discussion. It might be worth documenting this somewhere?
