How to Convert a Dash app into an Executable GUI
Dash, a powerful Python framework for building web applications, provides an excellent platform for creating interactive data visualizations and dashboards. In this article, we will see how we can create a Dash app into a GUI using Python.
Convert a Dash app into an Executable GUI in Python
Below are step-by-step explanations to convert a dash app into an executable GUI in Python:
Install Necessary Library
Before we begin, ensure that you have dash, dash_core_components, and dash_html_components installed. To install these libraries, use the following command:
pip install dash
pip install dash_core_components
pip install dash_html_components
Complete Code
Below, Python code create Dash web application with a title, description, and a bar chart using Dash’s core components. It creates a layout structured with HTML components and a Graph component for data visualization. Finally, it runs the application on a local server in debug mode, enabling real-time debugging.
main.py
import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div(children=[
html.H1(children='Hello Dash'),
html.Div(children='''

'data': [
{'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [4, 1, 2], 'type': 'bar', 'name': 'SF'},
{'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [2, 4, 5],
'type': 'bar', 'name': u'Montréal'},
],
'layout': {
'title': 'Dash Data Visualization'
}
}
)
])
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)
Run the Server
To run the code use the below command.
