Creating a dashboard

This guide will not cover how to create a dashboard. More information can be found on the plotly dash website and courses can be found on Datacamp. You may want to try this with a simple dashboard first.

A simple hello world example:

from dash import Dash, html

app = Dash(__name__)

app.layout = html.Div([
    html.Div(children='Hello World')
])

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

Save this as app.py

You will also have to install “rsconnect” to publish the dashboard. Please see guide in parent directory.
