How to add echarts into dash app?

Dash Python
1

THe visualization of plotly is fantastic , but it is complex to draw plots or maps. Plotly only provides the map of USA , I can not use it to draw a map of china’s district . I am only a data analyst , coding is so so so hard for me , especially plotly’s mapbox… oh gosh … it’s disaster…555
I find it is easy to draw maps in python echarts (http://pyecharts.org/#/) . (http://pyecharts.org/#/zh-cn/charts?id=map（地图）) .
And I love dash to write html data reports. So i want to combine the advantages of both of them.
How to insert echarts into a dash app ??
I am struggling…

I create a echarts plugin to make it easier

to use it with map, you can try run echarts_map after you install it (via pip install ‘dash_echarts[play]’)
and here’s the code

import dash_echarts
import dash, random
from dash.dependencies import Input, Output
import dash_html_components as html
import dash_core_components as dcc
from dash.exceptions import PreventUpdate
from os import path
import json


def main():
    '''
    dash_echarts examples
    name: china map
    author: dameng <pingf0@gmail.com>
    '''
    app = dash.Dash(__name__)

    option =  {
        'title': {
            'text': '中国底图测试',
            'subtext': '中国底图测试',
            'sublink': 'localhost:8050'
        },
        'tooltip': {
            'trigger': 'item',
            'formatter': '{b}<br/>{c} (p / km2)'
        },
        'toolbox': {
            'show': True,
            'orient': 'vertical',
            'left': 'right',
            'top': 'center',
            'feature': {
                'dataView': {'readOnly': False},
                'restore': {},
                'saveAsImage': {}
            }
        },
        'visualMap': {
            'min': 0,
            'max': 200,
            'text': ['High', 'Low'],
            'realtime': False,
            'calculable': True,
            'inRange': {
                'color': ['lightskyblue', 'yellow', 'orangered']
