You specify it when you create the instance:
w = SomeWidget(_dom_classes=["panel-body"])
or, in the case of class that should always get a _dom_class:
class PanelBody(widgets.Box):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(PanelBody, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self._dom_classes += ("panel-body",)
You could also monkey with the kwargs beforehand, avoiding, under the
covers, two calls to update_classes, but this approach is easy to read,
which i think wins out.
When I asked about this on gitter, the reasoning for this change was that
the add/remove class couldn't be made stateful, and that it was using
extra, custom comms stuff to do something that traitlets were perfectly
capable of. Thus, this traitlet. Howevever, as you can see from it having
the _ prefix, this is really much more of a widget-developer functionality:
it is suggested that no-fooling custom javascript be done... which is still
not exactly simple.
