Dash Bio apps need to be moved to dash-bio.plotly.host about dash-bio HOT 11 CLOSED

@shammamah : I did

import dash


def run_standalone_app(layout, callbacks, port=8050, debug=True):

    app = dash.Dash()
    app.scripts.config.serve_locally = True
    app.config["suppress_callback_exceptions"] = True

    server = app.server

    app.layout = layout()  # assign layout
    callbacks(app)  # register all of the callbacks
    app.run_server(debug=debug, port=port)

in a app_standalone.py file in tests/dashbio_demos/utils, then

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from tests.dashbio_demos.utils.app_standalone import run_standalone_app
    run_standalone_app(layout, callbacks)

at the end of an app file works (for me at least).
Then the css needs to be linked properly :)

@mkcor I don't have a branch for this yet, you can create it :)

Aww unrelated but app_molecule3d.py must have been written on Windows because I'm stuck in this nightmare https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64749/m-character-at-end-of-lines :(

@shammamah Oh, of course it works locally!! haha
Will edit ;)

from dash-bio.

@mkcor @Bachibouzouk We can easily convert each app_[] file to a standalone app by adding the following lines:

app = dash.Dash()
app.scripts.config.serve_locally = True
app.config["suppress_callback_exceptions"] = True 

server = app.server

somewhere in the beginning of the file and

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.layout = layout() # assign layout 
    callbacks(app) # register all of the callbacks 
    app.run_server(debug=True)

at the end. Will try this out with one of our applications and confirm :)

from dash-bio.

@Bachibouzouk Great idea -- then all we really need to change is the Procfile for each application :)

from dash-bio.

Ok! @Bachibouzouk Do you have a work-in-progress branch for this, that I should piggyback on? If not, I'll create one.

from dash-bio.

My work-in-progress lives on branch mkcor-standalone-apps.

For the first commit on it (14b5023), I have used this nice GitHub feature: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-commit-with-multiple-authors/ ;)

I haven't included server = app.server in the code for the helper function, since server isn't used afterwards (tested locally that demo apps still run as standalone as expected without it).

from dash-bio.

@mkcor We need to expose the variable for the apps to run on the server. So it will work locally, but it will break once it's uploaded :)

from dash-bio.

@shammamah : is this issue still open?

from dash-bio.

@Bachibouzouk It shouldn't be! Fixed in #149 -- must have forgotten to close it :)
