In the first example at https://dash.plot.ly/getting-started-part-2 import dash import dash_core_components as dcc import dash_html_components as html from dash.dependencies import Input, Output external_stylesheets = ['https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css'] app = dash.Dash(__name__, exter…

Thanks for the link. It is useful, but not quite what we are discussing. The goal here is to separate a single app into several files, such as: app.py - core app definition, CSS loading, import and attach layout layouts.py - one or more layouts, could be a sub-module callbacks.py - callback fu…

[image] Jordan: realized app.py file was getting way too big. I’m afraid that in a real-case scenario, having the callbacks within app.py file might be a mess, Just calling out this quote for reference. The idea is to have a documented ‘best practice’ for organizing medium to large Dash apps…

[image] brylie: app.py - core app definition, CSS loading, import and attach layout layouts.py - one or more layouts, could be a sub-module callbacks.py - callback functions attached to app layout routes.py - routing logic for a multi-page app utils.py - utility functions In my experience cr…

[image] chriddyp: See " Structuring a Multi-Page App" in https://dash.plot.ly/urls . Thanks for the link! It is useful but it does not answer the problem I’m mentioning. Every single time (even in your link), the callbacks are in the same file as the app layout (and everything else). It’s eas…

[image] Jordan: the callbacks are in the same file as the app layout Not exactly. In the link I shared, I propose separating out sections of your layout into other files but keeping the callbacks that are associated with that content in the same file or module. In that example, I show how to …

My bad, I saw your answer to Brylie after I posted mine. Reading it and re-checking your link, what you’re saying makes sense and made me reconsider. When you put it that way, it does make sense to have layouts and callbacks together (as they are closely linked) and then split up the app like you …

You can use a function pattern instead of import the app from a global in a file. Importing from global leads to circular imports issues depending on the on the os. Dash-docs got this problem, on windows it won’t register the examples callbacks unless you change the imports. Basically, instead of i…

Hi, After reading your post I decided to give it a shot, see if I could make it work. Both my callbacks and layouts use pandas dataframes loaded in the “setup” phase, so I made a few adjusments: register_callbacks takes an additional argument ‘dataframe’ so I can use it in my callbacks layout …

I borrowed this solution in my template for a full dash app inside a flask server. Github repository with explanations at How to embed a Dash app into an existing Flask app . Thanks for the solution and enjoy the template :slight_smile:

Lovely! Thanks @Philippe and @Jordan
