In More Detail

prependData

prependData is a new dcc.Graph property that allows you to prepend new data to the traces of a graph without sending the entire figure back and forth between the client and the Python callbacks. This can be much faster for incremental updates to the graph.

As inspiration, see this community example in the forum that incrementally updates the graph for rapid streaming:

The complement of prependData is the extendData property (used in the GIF above). extendData has existed for a couple of years.

Here’s a complete example demonstrating the syntax taken from our test suite:

from dash.exceptions import PreventUpdate
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output, State

import dash_core_components as dcc

    return html.Div(
        [
            html.P(id),
            dcc.Graph(id=id, figure=dict(data=data)),

Can you please see this dash-loading-component issue?

Recently, after reinstalling my python, I am running into an exceptions. I tried dash 1.16.0 - 1.16.2 and I am not sure if it is due to this version but another plotly community user reported that he has not seen it.
