Dash: Python framework for building data web applications
Build reactive web apps with Python callbacks.
Learn more about Dash
Dash is a Python web application framework built on top of Flask, React, and Plotly.js. It allows developers to define interactive user interfaces declaratively using Python, with UI elements like dropdowns, sliders, and graphs connected directly to Python callback functions. The framework handles the translation between Python code and the underlying React/JavaScript frontend, managing state and reactivity automatically. Applications are commonly deployed for data analysis, financial dashboards, scientific visualization, and business intelligence use cases.
Python-only development
Applications are written entirely in Python without requiring JavaScript knowledge. The framework abstracts away frontend complexity by automatically generating React components and managing client-server communication.
Declarative reactive architecture
UI layouts and interactions are defined declaratively through Python objects. Callbacks automatically re-execute when input values change, creating reactive data flows without manual DOM manipulation.
Integrated Plotly visualization
Built-in support for approximately 50 chart types from Plotly.js, including maps and statistical plots. Charts are interactive by default and can trigger callbacks based on user interactions like clicks or selections.
from dash import Dash, html, dcc
import plotly.express as px
app = Dash(__name__)
df = px.data.iris()
fig = px.scatter(df, x="sepal_width", y="sepal_length", color="species")
app.layout = html.Div([
html.H1("Iris Dataset Dashboard"),
dcc.Graph(figure=fig)
])
