Altair: Using alt.data_transformers.enable on azure notebook

[prasoon2211]

I had more than 5000 rows of data so I followed the documentation to use the JSON data transformer but with it, I see no data in the plot:

I also tried installing altair-data-server with jupyter-server-proxy and then using alt.data_transformers.enable('data_server_proxied') but it still results in the same problem.

I also tried running the colab notebook linked on the altair data server project but this process fails in the colab notebook as well.

In the end, I ended up using a local jupyterlab instance but it would be nice to be able to use cloud based notebooks with altair

As mentioned there, the local filesystem and dataserver approaches you tried may not work on some cloud-based notebooks, but there are other options available.

Note that Colab works with alt.renderers.enable('data_server'), but not with data_server_proxied.
