Emulate Terminal Output in dcc.Textarea to Show Logging Details

Dash Python
1

My goal is to have a dcc.Textarea that the user will not interact with, but will be shown details about actions taken on the server side. Ideally, I would like to reuse my print() commands and take what is displayed in my terminal to the Dash UI textarea.

Since I do not have another Dash UI component driving the Input of the callback, how can I make a function call with the message to display, then append and scroll the textarea as my terminal behaves?

Here is some code to outline the problem, and print the list to the textarea. The callback decorator is commented out as it will cause an error without the Input() defined.

Thanks much for any and all assistance!

import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output, State
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc

app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div([

    dcc.Textarea(
        id='log_output_textarea',
            title='Actions Executed Will Be Output Here',
            value='',
            cols=100,
            disabled=True,
    )

])


#@app.callback(
#    Output('log_output_textarea', 'value'),
#    [Input()],
#    [State('log_output_textarea','value')]
#)
def log_to_textarea():
    example_log_items_to_display = ['API Call Executed', 'Database Updated', 'Calculation Details']
    for log in example_log_items_to_display:
        print(log) # Instead of printing to std.out, log to UI textarea

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