How do you use dash-table-experiments together with callback functions?
The code below works for the table without callback, but when I included the call back functionality it does not work, (I get a “Error loading dependencies error”).
import dash
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output
import dash\_html\_components as html
import dash\_table\_experiments as dt
import pandas
app = dash.Dash()
DF\_SIMPLE = pandas.DataFrame({
‘x’: [‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’, ‘E’, ‘F’],
‘y’: [4, 3, 1, 2, 3, 6],
‘z’: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’]
}).to\_dict(‘records’)
app.layout = html.Div(
[
dt.DataTable(
rows=DF\_SIMPLE,
id=‘datatable-working’
),
dt.DataTable(id=‘datatable-not-working’)
]
)
@app.callback(Output(‘datatable-not-working’, ‘rows’))
def update\_info\_table():
return DF\_SIMPLE
if **name** == ‘ **main** ’:
app.run\_server()

I think DataTable is unhappy with rows not having an initial value. `dt.DataTable(id=‘datatable-not-working’, rows=[{}])` makes it happy.

That totally worked. Thanks! 😃
