I’m trying to follow the guide for creating my own components by trying to convert the react components here:
[https://github.com/MrFoxPro/react-flight-indicators](https://github.com/MrFoxPro/react-flight-indicators)
into a dash component.
I can’t understand how to do it for this specific example.
how can I do it? is there an alternative way to create such components to use within a dash app?

Having a short look at the source code, I guess you could recreate the component in Dash directly, if you really want to (it’s mostly standard HTML elements). However, I think that your initial approach, porting the React component itself, would probably be easier.

still, I failed to do so using the provided guide.
Can you elaborate on the process?
