Simple example of integrating Dash into the flask framework.
This is a demonstration on how to get Dash working inside of a flask framework. Dash is a fantastic library for those that want to create dashboard interfaces while still staying within the python domain language.
I created this because I myself had trouble figuring out this setup given the documentation out there. From the plotly forums to the documentation for werkzeug, flask and dash, none had a complete living example that tied it all together. Although, some were quite helpful in helping me get there
git clone https://github.com/mbkupfer/dash-with-flask.git
cd dash-with-flask.git
python3 -m venv venv
On Windows:
py -3 -m venv venv
Activate the environment
. venv/bin/activate
On Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
You know your virtual environment is active when you see the (venv) at the beginning of the CLI line.
(venv) C:\Users\user\path_to\dash-with-flask>
Install requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
Run code
python main.py
This should launch the application on your localhost as such:
* Restarting with stat
* Running on http://localhost:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
127.0.0.1 - - [06/Aug/2018 13:40:23] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
Navigating to http://localhost:5000/my-app will launch the dash application.
This is part of a larger project in which I'm trying to learn about web app development. I'm planning on refining this repository with new branches to showcase other web app architectures that incorporate dash.
