Cannot load Javascript script

I am having some troubles loading JS scripts in my Dash App

My app is organized as

assets
    -- custom-scripts.js
    -- style.css
app.py

So, my app.py file is:

import dash
import dash_html_components as html

external_stylesheets = [
    {
        'href': 'https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css',

        'crossorigin': 'anonymous'
    }
]

external_scripts = [
    {
        'src': 'https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.13/js/solid.js',
        'integrity': 'sha384-tzzSw1/Vo+0N5UhStP3bvwWPq+uvzCMfrN1fEFe+xBmv1C/AtVX5K0uZtmcHitFZ',

                     ]
                 )
             ]
         ),

        )
    ]
)

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

My custom-scripts.js file is

        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#sidebarCollapse').on('click', function () {
                $('#sidebar').toggleClass('active');
            });
        });

And the CSS file is the same as https://bootstrapious.com/tutorial/sidebar/style4.css

When I load my App sometimes the buttom “Toggle Sidebar” works, but sometimes it does not and I do not know on which this depends.

Sometimes works and I only refresh the page and does not work anymore.

After stop the App I get this in the Console:

So I think I have a problem fetching _reload-hash

were you able to get this to work? I have similar issues with the data-* attributes. let me know what you did to fix it.

Interesting to read this !
I was unable to make this (data-* attributes + javascript) work in the Dash environment and posted about it here before. Therefore I made a solution that uses the html.Iframe component and I feed it the raw HTML code in a string through “srcDoc” attribute. Then the javascript does work as expected. But I wonder why this doesnt work off the shelf…

Hi @IvoB, Can you provide an example code to see how you implemented this using the html.Iframe. Thanks,

yeah I will post it asap !

Something along the lines like this:

  return html.Div([
    html.Div([
        Header(),
        html.Div(id='target'),
        ], className="subpage")
    ], className="page")

@app.callback(dash.dependencies.Output('target', 'children'), [dash.dependencies.Input('plot', 'clickData')])
def display_click_data(clickData):
    if clickData != None:
        val = clickData['points'][0]['customdata']
        val = val.split("##")
        if val[1] is not '0':
            badgeIdentifier = 'data-doi="' + val[1] + '"'
            searchTerm = val[1]
		fileContents = '<script src="https://d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net/assets/embed.js"></script>
		<div><H3>Details for title: ' + val[0] + ' ...</H3></div>
		<div class="altmetric-embed" data-badge-type="donut" data-link-target="_blank"' + badgeIdentifier +'></div>
		<a href="https://cris.nl/en/searchAll/index/?search=' + searchTerm + '" target="_blank">
		LINK TO PURE</A>
		</br>
		<A HREF="https://dx.doi.org/' + val[1] + '" target="_blank">
		LINK TO DOI</A>		'
        return html.Iframe(srcDoc=fileContents,style={'border': '1px solid lightgrey', 'width': '100%', 'height': 200, 'white-space': ' pre-wrap'})
    else:
        return html.Div('')
