Dash v2.5.0

Added

• #1947 Added pages - a better way to build multi-page apps. For more information see the forum post.
• #1965 Add component as props.
• #2049 Added wait_for_class_to_equal and wait_for_contains_class methods to dash.testing

Dash v2.4.1

Fixed

• Fix #2045 import error when using pytest but dash[testing] is not installed.

Dash v2.4.0

Added

• #1952 Improved callback_context

  • Closes #1818 Closes #1054
  • adds dash.ctx, a more concise name for dash.callback_context
  • adds ctx.triggered_prop_ids, a dictionary of the component ids and props that triggered the callback.
  • adds ctx.triggered_id, the id of the component that triggered the callback.
  • adds ctx.args_grouping, a dict of the inputs used with flexible callback signatures.

• #2009 Add support for Promises within Client-side callbacks as requested in #1364.

• #1956 Add TypeScript components generation.

• #2034 Add link_target prop to dcc.Markdown component. Closes #1827

• #2035 Add type annotations to testing fixtures.

Fixed

• #2029 Restrict the number of props listed explicitly in generated component constructors - default is 250. This prevents exceeding the Python 3.6 limit of 255 arguments. The omitted props are still in the docstring and can still be provided the same as before, they just won't appear in the signature so autocompletion may be affected.

• #1968 Fix bug #1877, code which uses merge_duplicate_headers and style_header_conditional to highlight columns, it incorrectly highlights header cells.

• #2015 Fix bug #1854 in which the combination of row_selectable="single or multi" and filter_action="native" caused the JS error.

• #1976 Fix #1962 in which DatePickerSingle and DatePickerRange are extremely slow when provided a long list of disabled_days.

• #2035 Fix #2033 In-App error reporting does not render HTML.

• #1970 dcc.Dropdown Refactor fixes:

  • Fix bug #1868 value does not update when selected option removed from options.
  • Fix bug #1908 Selected options not showing when the value contains a comma.

Changed

• #1751 Rename app.run_server to app.run while preserving app.run_server for backwards compatibility.

• #1839 The callback decorator returns the original function, not the wrapped function, so that you can still call these functions directly, for example in tests. Note that in this case there will be no callback context so not all callbacks can be tested this way.

• #2016 Drop the 375px width from default percy_snapshot calls, keep only 1280px

• #2027 Improve the error message when a user doesn't wrap children in a list

Updated

• #2016, #2032, and #2042 Widespread dependency upgrades
  • Upgrade Plotly.js to v2.12.1 (from v2.11.0).
    • Feature release 2.12.0 adds minor ticks and gridlines, as well as dashed gridlines.
    • Patch release 2.11.1 fixes regl-based traces in strict CSP mode, however you must manually switch to the strict bundle to use this.
    • Patch release 2.12.1 fixes several bugs.
  • Upgrade black to v22.3.0 for Python 3.7+ - if you use dash[ci] and you call black, this may alter your code formatting slightly, including more consistently breaking Python 2 compatibility.
  • Many other mainly JS dependency upgrades to the internals of Dash renderer and components. These may patch bugs or improve performance.

Dash v2.3.1

Fixed

• #1963 Fix #1780 flask shutdown deprecation warning when running dashduo threaded tests.
• #1995 Fix #1992 ImportError: cannot import name 'get_current_traceback' from 'werkzeug.debug.tbtools'.

Dash v2.3.0

Added

• #1949 Add built-in MathJax support to both dcc.Markdown and dcc.Graph. A new boolean prop mathjax was added to these two components, defaulting to False. Set mathjax=True to enable math rendering. This work uses MathJax v3, although dcc.Graph and Plotly.js can also be used with MathJax v2.
  • In dcc.Markdown this has two flavors: inline math is any content between single dollar signs, for example "$E=mc^2$", and "display" math (on its own line, potentially multi-line) is delimited by double dollar signs.
  • In dcc.Graph, most text fields (graph and axis titles, trace names, scatter and bar text) can use math, and it's enabled with single dollar sign delimiters. A limitation here is that currently a given piece of text can only be one or the other: if math is found, everything outside the delimiters is ignored. See https://plotly.com/python/LaTeX/ for details.
  • For an intro to LaTeX math, see https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics.
  • Big thanks to Equinor for sponsoring this development, including the related work in Plotly.js!

Updated

• #1949 Upgrade Plotly.js to v2.11.0 (from v2.9.0)
  • Feature release 2.10.0:
    • Support for MathJax v3
    • fillpattern for scatter traces with filled area
  • Feature release 2.11.0:
    • Every trace type can now be rendered in a stricter CSP environment, specifically avoiding unsafe-eval. Please note: the regl-based traces (scattergl, scatterpolargl, parcoords, and splom) are only strict in the strict bundle, which is NOT served by default in Dash. To use this bundle with Dash, you must either download it and put it in your assets/ folder, or include it as an external_script from the CDN: https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-strict-2.11.0.min.js. All other trace types are strict in the normal bundle.
  • Patch release 2.10.1 containing a bugfix for mesh3d traces.

Fixed

• #1915 Fix bug #1474 when both dcc.Graph and go.Figure have animation, and when the second animation in Figure is executed, the Frames from the first animation are played instead of the second one.

• #1953 Fix bug #1783 in which a failed hot reloader blocks the UI with alerts.

• #1942 Fix bug #1663 preventing pie traces from sending customdata with clickData and other events.

Dash v2.2.0

Added

• #1923:
  • dash.get_relative_path
  • dash.strip_relative_path
  • dash.get_asset_url
    This is similar to dash.callback where you don't need the app object. It makes it possible to use these
    functions in the pages folder of a multi-page app without running into the circular app imports issue.

Updated

• #1911 Upgrade Plotly.js to v2.9.0 (from v2.8.3).

  • Adds ticklabelstep to axes to reduce tick labels while still showing all ticks.
  • Displays the plotly.js version when hovering on the modebar. This helps debugging situations where there might be multiple sources of plotly.js, for example /assets vs the versions built into dcc or ddk.

• #1930 Upgrade JavaScript dependencies across renderer and all components.

Fixed

• #1932 Fixes several bugs:
  • Restores compatibility with IE11 #1925
  • Restores style_header text alignment in Dash Table #1914
  • Clears the unneeded webdriver-manager requirement from dash[testing] #1919

Dash v2.1.0

Changed

• #1876 Delays finalizing Dash.config attributes not used in the constructor until init_app().

• #1869, #1873 Upgrade Plotly.js to v2.8.3. This includes:

  • Feature release 2.5.0:
    • 3D traces are now compatible with no-unsafe-eval CSP rules.
  • Feature release 2.6.0:
    • Add smith subplots and scattersmith traces, for drawing Smith charts.
  • Feature release 2.7.0:
    • Add text data for histogram traces.
    • Fix an interaction between uirevision and autorange that pops up in some cases of mixed clientside / serverside figure generation.
  • Feature release 2.8.0:
    • Add horizontal colorbars.
    • Add text data on heatmap and related trace types.
    • Control legend group title fonts.
  • Patch releases 2.5.1, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, and 2.8.3 containing bugfixes.
  • This PR also upgrades various other dependencies of dash renderer and component suites.

• #1745:
  Improve our extras_require: there are now five options here, each with a well-defined role:

  • dash[dev]: for developing and building dash components.
  • dash[testing]: for using the pytest plugins in the dash.testing module
  • dash[diskcache]: required if you use DiskcacheLongCallbackManager
  • dash[celery]: required if you use CeleryLongCallbackManager
  • dash[ci]: mainly for internal use, these are additional requirements for the Dash CI tests, exposed for other component libraries to use a matching configuration.

Added

• #1883 in DataTable added page_current to persisted_props as requested in #1860

• #1763:

  Dash and Dash Renderer

  • Input, State, and Output now accept components instead of ID strings and Dash callback will auto-generate the component's ID under-the-hood if not supplied. This allows usage like:

  my_input = dcc.Input()
  my_output = html.Div()
  app.layout = html.Div([my_input, my_output])
  
  @dash.callback(Output(my_output, 'children'), Input(my_input, 'value'))
  def update(value):
      return f'You have entered {value}'

  Or, if using Python >=3.8 you can use the := walrus operator:

  app.layout = html.Div([
      my_input := dcc.Input(),
      my_output := html.Div()
  ])
  
  @dash.callback(Output(my_output, 'children'), Input(my_input, 'value'))
  def update(value):
      return f'You have entered {value}'

  #1894 restricted this feature so auto-generated IDs are not allowed if the app uses dash_snapshots (a Dash Enterprise package) or if the component uses persistence, as this can create confusing errors. Callback definitions can still reference components in these cases, but those components must have explicit IDs.

  Dash Core Components

  Rearranged Keyword Arguments & Flexible Types

  Dropdown, RadioItem, and Checklist

  • Rearranged Keyword Arguments - options & value are now the first two keywords which means they can be supplied as positional arguments without the keyword. Supplying the keywords (options= and value=) is still supported.
  • Flexible Types - options can be supplied in two new forms:
    1. An array of string|number|bool where label and value are equal to the items in the list.
    2. A dictionary where the keys and values set as value and label respectively.

  Before:

  dcc.Dropdown(
      options=[
          {'label': 'New York', 'value': 'New York'},
          {'label': 'Montreal', 'value': 'Montreal'},
      ],
      value='New York'
  )

  or

  dcc.Dropdown(
      options=[
          {'label': 'New York', 'value': 'NYC'},
          {'label': 'Montreal', 'value': 'MTL'},
      ],
      value='New York'
  )

  After:

  dcc.Dropdown(['New York', 'Montreal'], 'New York')

  Or

  dcc.Dropdown({'NYC': 'New York', 'MTL': 'Montreal'}, 'New York')

  RangeSlider & Slider

  • Rearranged Keyword Arugments - min, max, and step are now the first three keyword arguments which means they can be supplied as positional arguments without the keyword.
  • Flexible Types
    • step will be calculated implicitly if not given.
    • marks will be auto generated if not given. It will use min and max and will respect step if supplied. Auto generated marks labels are SI unit formatted. Around 5 human-readable marks will be created.
    • To remove the Slider's marks, set marks=None.

  Before:

  dcc.Slider(marks={1: 2, 2: 2, 3: 3})

  After:

  dcc.Slider(min=1, max=3, step=1)

  Or equivalently:

  dcc.Slider(1, 3, 1)

  Step can also be omitted and the Slider will attempt to create a nice, human readable step with SI units and around 5 marks:

  dcc.Slider(0, 100)

  The SI units and ranges supported in marks are:

  • µ - micro, 10⁻⁶
  • m - milli, 10⁻³
  • ​ (none) - 10⁰
  • k - kilo, 10³
  • M - mega, 10⁶
  • G - giga, 10⁹
  • T - tera, 10¹²
  • P - peta, 10¹⁵
  • E - exa, 10¹⁸

  Ranges below 10µ are not supported by the Slider. This is a bug: #1766

  DataTable

  • Rearranged Keyword Arguments - data and columns the first twokeyword arguments which means they can be supplied as positional arguments without the keyword.
  • Inferred Properties - If columns isn't supplied then it is extracted from the the first row in data

  Before:

  dash_table.DataTable(data=df.to_dict('records'), columns=[{'name': i, 'id': i} for i in df.columns])

  After:

  dash_table.DataTable(data=df.to_dict('records'))

  New Component Properties

  Checklist & RadioItems

  • A new property inline appends display: inline-block to labelStyle.

  dcc.Checklist(inline=True)
