DashForge

Your Plotly charts deserve a dashboard—not hours of dashboard work.

Turn your charts into a complete, interactive dashboard in just a few lines of Python.

No HTML. No CSS. No JavaScript. Just add your charts, run your code, and let DashForge handle the dashboard around them.

Why DashForge?

You have already done the important work: exploring the data and creating the charts. The last thing you should need is another long project just to place those charts on a page.

DashForge turns a group of Plotly figures into one interactive dashboard in seconds. Instead of moving between separate charts, rebuilding layouts for a client, or learning front-end tools just to present your analysis, you can keep working in Python and focus on the insight.

It is for analysts and developers who want their work to look complete quickly: one place for every chart, one dashboard to share, and a clean Python workflow from start to finish.

Full dashboard frameworks solve a different problem. They are built for applications — callbacks, reactive state, component trees you assemble by hand — which is the right amount of structure when people will click through your app and change what it shows. It is a lot to learn, though, when all you want is for the charts you already made to look finished on a page. DashForge does not ask you to learn any of that. There is no reactive model, no callback graph, and no layout tree to build — just a small set of functions that do exactly what their names say, so a line like add_kpi(...) tells you what it does before you ever open the docs.

Why choose DashForge?

• Build fast — turn multiple Plotly charts into a dashboard in a few lines.
• Skip the framework — no callbacks, reactive re-runs, or component trees to learn first.
• Stay in Python — no HTML, CSS, or JavaScript knowledge required.
• Present better — keep related charts, KPIs, and data together in one clear view.
• Avoid the setup work — DashForge handles the dashboard structure so you do not have to build it from scratch.
• Make it yours — choose themes, colors, layouts, titles, footers, and more.
• Keep it interactive — your Plotly charts stay interactive inside the dashboard.

Setup

Install DashForge from your terminal:

pip install Dashforge

Quick start

Start with the Plotly figures you have already made:

fig1 = ...  # Your Plotly figure
fig2 = ...
fig3 = ...
fig4 = ...
fig5 = ...
fig6 = ...

Then turn them into a dashboard:

from dashforge import Dashboard

dashboard = Dashboard()
dashboard.add_chart([fig1, fig2, fig3, fig4, fig5, fig6])
dashboard.build_dashboard()
dashboard.run()

Output

More than a chart grid

DashForge is built to help a dashboard feel finished, not just display figures next to each other. Add KPI cards to surface the numbers that matter most. Add a data-table page when people need to inspect the source. Choose an automatic layout when speed matters, or control chart rows and sizes when the story needs a specific design — each still a single, plainly named function call. Layout 6 in the Gallery below shows how far a theme, a KPI row, and a custom chart grid can take the same simple pattern.

You can also set chart titles and subtitles, choose which charts can be maximized, switch between dark and light themes, customize every important color, and add a logo, footer, or timestamp for a more complete delivery.

Gallery

Here are a few ways DashForge dashboards can look. Alternate views are paired side by side; single layouts are shown at full width.

Example dashboards

Want to see DashForge pushed in different directions? The repository includes ready-to-run examples with different color palettes, chart combinations, dashboard styles, KPI setups, dataset views, and layouts.

Browse the example dashboard collection, then run any scenario from the project root:

python Examples/01_dark_command_center.py

Roadmap

The current focus is a simple, expressive dashboard-building workflow, and that stays the standard for what comes next: every new capability will be one function with a clear name, not a new concept to learn. Ideas being explored for future versions include:

• Custom filters for charts
• Multiple dashboard pages
• Text boxes that can sit alongside charts
• Saved design settings for faster reuse
• More upcoming Layouts
