using gridstack template on MyBinder hosted Voila dashboard

[cornhundred]

Can we use the gridtack template on MyBinder hosted voila dashboards? I would like to do so for this repo:

https://github.com/ismms-himc/gaussian-density

MyBinder link to Voila Dashboard from this repo:
https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/ismms-himc/gaussian-density/master?urlpath=voila%2Frender%2Findex.ipynb

I added grid-stack to the requirements.txt, but I'm not sure how/if I can get MyBinder to render using this template.

I raised a similar issue about positioning dashboard components (e.g. widgets) side-by-side here: voila-dashboards/voila#336

@cornhundred have you tried using a jupyter_config.json file, like for the voila-demo repo? https://github.com/maartenbreddels/voila-demo/blob/4b84414309bc53350a63b704add34163eb5c489d/jupyter_config.json

The content would look like this:

{
    "VoilaConfiguration": {
        "enable_nbextensions": true,
        "template": "gridstack"
    }
}

Closing as answered.

Also feel free to check out the voila-demo repo which does exactly that, but with a different template!
