A simple Dash program

The following is a basic Dash example:

Example

# Import Dash related libraries
from dash import Dash, dcc, html, Input, Output

# Create a Dash application instance
app = Dash(__name__)

# Define the application layout
app.layout = html.Div([
# Create a text input box
dcc.Input(
id='input', # Input ID, used for callback function
value='initial value', # Default value of the input field
type='text' # Input type is text
),
# Create a Div for displaying output
html.Div(id='output')
])

# Define the callback function
@app.callback(
Output('output', 'children'), # Output to the children property of the Div with id 'output'
Input('input', 'value') # Input comes from the value property of the input field with id 'input'
)
def update_output_div(input_value):
# Return a formatted string displaying the user's input
return f'You entered: {input_value}'

# Run the app
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True) # Start the app, debug=True enables debug mode

This simple application contains an input box and a display area. When the user enters content in the input box, the display area updates in real time to show what the user has entered.
