Bootstrap widget render with data

[Nicolas]

Is there any best practice in bootstrapping Widget with data?
Pre-rendered widget via backend isn't enough for me.

What are you trying to do?

@baris Widget where rendering done on client-side, and widget changes in real-time.
For initial rendering I would like to have some data, to bootstrap widget.

This pre-renders the list of active users from server data. And then has some inline JS with socket call to update the list as new users become active
