Asynchronous (Lazy) Results Fetching¤
When results are big, you can prevent the user browser having to fetch them at every page load but only on demand.
When the fmt
parameter puts the results into a tab which is not open at
page load, this will significantly improve page load times and transfer volume, when users do not
open the tabs.
Mechanics¤
Simply add the fetch
parameter into the header.
Example:
```bash lp fetch=md_async_example
<heavy results causing evaluation>
```
Result:
- At evaluation, the results will then not be put into the markdown directly but something like that
instead (see
src/lcdoc/lp.py
).
<xterm />
remote_content
![](./media/mypage.md_async_example.ansi)
- The results will be written into a
.ansi
file, next to the original markdown page (into a subdirectory "media") fn_frm
will be the link to that file.- The javascript shipped with lp will pick up the
xterm
tags and render them. When it sees 'remote_content`, it will send an XHR to the server, downloading the results. That way the server can still remain static.
Note
The results are fetched only when the xterm tag is to be displayed - i.e. not while the tab containing it is closed.
