This repo serves as a template to copy and paste workshop material. Simply, copy and paste example code into the app.py file, save, and then run the code.
app.py
This is the entry point to your application, it contains your Dash app code.
This file must contain a line that defines the server variable:
server = app.server
.gitignore
Determines which files and folders are ignored in git, and therefore ignored (i.e. not copied to the server) when you deploy your application. An example of its contents would be:
venv
*.pyc
.DS_Store
.env
Procfile
Declares what commands are run by app's containers. This is commonly,
web: gunicorn app:server --workers 4 where app refers to the file
app.py and server refers to the variable named server inside that file.
gunicorn is the web server that will run your application, make sure to
add this in your requirements.txt file.
requirements.txt
Describes the app's python dependencies. For example,
dash==0.21.1
dash-auth==1.0.1
dash-renderer==0.11.3
dash-core-components==0.22.1
dash-html-components==0.9.0
/assets
