Installation

pip install dash-dashkit
# Also ensure these dependencies are available (they install automatically):
# dashkit_table, dashkit_shadcn, dashkit_kiboui

Quick Start

Minimal app

from dash import Dash, html
import dashkit

app = Dash(__name__)
dashkit.setup_app(app)

rows = [{"name":"Alice","score":10},{"name":"Bob","score":20}]
cols = [{"data":"name","title":"Name"},{"data":"score","title":"Score"}]

app.layout = dashkit.create_layout(
    content=html.Div([
        html.H3("Example"),
        dashkit.Table(id="t", data=rows, columns=cols, height=240),
    ])
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

• Install core: pip install dash-dashkit
• With table: pip install dash-dashkit[table]
• With everything: pip install dash-dashkit[all]

Using Components in Your Project

from dashkit import create_layout, setup_app, Table

app = Dash(__name__)

# Configure app with dashkit styling (handles CSS and theme injection)
setup_app(app)

# Configure sidebar
sidebar_config = {
    "brand_name": "Your App",
    "brand_initial": "Y",
    "nav_items": [
        {"icon": "fas fa-home", "label": "Dashboard"},
    ],
    "sections": [
        {
            "title": "Records",
            "items": [
                {"type": "nav_item", "icon": "fas fa-users", "label": "Users"}
            ]
        }
    ]
}

# Configure header
header_config = {
    "page_title": "Dashboard",
    "page_icon": "📊",
    "actions": [
        {"type": "primary", "label": "New Item", "icon": "fas fa-plus"}
    ]
}

# Create your content
table = Table(id="my-table", data=your_data, columns=your_columns)

# Build the layout
app.layout = create_layout(
    content=table,
    sidebar_config=sidebar_config,
    header_config=header_config
)

Development

Available Tasks

This project uses taskipy for common development tasks:

# Complete setup (install npm deps, build table component, install Python package)
uv run task setup

# Build only the table component
uv run task build-table

# Install only the table component
uv run task install-table

# Run linting and formatting
uv run task lint

# Run type checking
uv run task typecheck

# Run both linting and type checking
uv run task check

# Start the development server
uv run task dev

Manual Development Commands

# Run linting
ruff check .
ruff format .

# Run type checking
basedpyright src

# Build CSS (if modified)
npx tailwindcss -i src/assets/input.css -o src/assets/style.css --watch

# Manual table component build
cd src/dashkit_table
npm install
npm run build
uv pip install -e .

Releasing (manual tags)

Releases are driven by tags. Publishing runs in CI and a smoke test validates PyPI install.

Prerequisites:

• GitHub Actions secret: PYPI_API_TOKEN (PyPI API token with upload permission)

Subpackages

• dashkit_table
  1. Bump version in src/dashkit_table/pyproject.toml
  2. Commit and push (if ignored, force add): git add -f src/dashkit_table/pyproject.toml && git commit -m "release(table): X.Y.Z" && git push
  3. Tag and push: git tag dashkit_table-vX.Y.Z && git push origin dashkit_table-vX.Y.Z
• dashkit_kiboui
  1. Bump version in src/dashkit_kiboui/pyproject.toml
  2. Commit and push
  3. Tag and push: git tag dashkit_kiboui-vX.Y.Z && git push origin dashkit_kiboui-vX.Y.Z

Main package (dash-dashkit)

• Bump version in pyproject.toml (update subpackage minimums as needed)
• Commit and push
• Tag and push: git tag dashkit-vX.Y.Z && git push origin dashkit-vX.Y.Z
  • Legacy form vX.Y.Z is also supported

CI workflows

• Publish: builds the package for the matching tag and uploads to PyPI
• Smoke: installs the just-published version in a clean venv and imports/instantiates components
• Manual fallback: both workflows support workflow_dispatch with tag_name if you need to re-run

Notes

• If src/dashkit_table is ignored in .gitignore, use git add -f or remove the ignore entry
• Tag patterns must match exactly as above (component-vX.Y.Z)

Configuration Examples

See src/dashkit_demo/app.py for complete configuration examples including:

• Sidebar navigation structure
• Header actions and filters
• Table data formatting
• Component styling options
