Dash Userguide

The Dash Userguide: everything that you need to know to be productive with Dash.

The Dash Userguide is hosted online at: https://plotly.com/dash. A PDF version is also available.

Running an app locally

To run an app locally:

1. (optional) create and activate new virtualenv or conda env:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate

or, with conda:

conda create --yes -n dash_docs
source activate dash_docs

2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. gunicorn --preload index:server

Alternatively, for development purposes, you can run: while true; do IGNORE_DASH_BIO=true python index.py; sleep 2; done

The while true loop restarts Dash when there's syntax errors outside of the callbacks, and IGNORE_DASH_BIO=true constant prevents the loading of heavy Dash Bio examples, which makes hotreloading faster.

4. open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser

on Windows systems waitress can be a replacement for gunicorn

3. pip install waitress
4. waitress-serve --listen=*:8000 index:server
5. open http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser

Contributing

PRs accepted! The Dash user guide is itself a Dash app. Each file in tutorial represents a "chapter" of the docs.

Changes to master will get deployed automatically.
