Experimental markup language for creating rich dashboards using Dash
Project description
dashlang
An experimental markup language for creating rich dashboards using Dash and Dash components.
Introduction
Dashlang is a project that offers developers a set of tools to easily create complex layouts
of Dash
components, using a syntax as close as possible to regular HTML. Its most simple usage
allows developers to create layouts using the dashlang declarative markup format and convert
the markup into a Python tree of Dash components in a simple and efficient way.
Example
Take the following snippet written in the dashlang markup format. The format tries to stay as
close to HTML as possible, by using tags delimited by the <
and >
characters, and using opening
and closing tags to declare elements.
<Div id="root-container" className="fluid-container">
<H1 id="title" className="text-bold">This is a title</H1>
<P>This is a simple paragraph with a very very long text</P>
</Div>
This snippet can be easily converted to a Python component tree just by calling a function
from dash import Dash
from dashlang.parsers import MarkupParser
parser = MarkupParser()
app = Dash(__name__)
with open("snippet.dml") as fp:
app.layout = parser.parse(fp.read()).to_layout()
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run_server(debug=True)
Running the previous Python snippet will create a Dash application instance and load its layout from the snippet file containing the layout in markup format.
