dash-template

A Dash template setup I use for component development

Quick setup

Clone the repo:

$ git clone git@github.com:thinkjrs/dash-template
$ cd dash-template

Install dependencies w/conda:

$ conda-env create -f environment.yml

Activate your new dash-template virtual environment:

$ conda activate dash-template

Run your new barebones Dash application on port 8050:

python app/app.py

Configuration

Tests and application code are separate and both need to be run from the main project directory (i.e. the directory name you cloned this into).

tests

There are two conftest.py files: conftest.py and tests/conftest.py, where the first is empty and the later a fixture-monkey patch.
No configuration is necessary for the empty conftest.py.

In the second, tests/conftest.py, you need to change the handle param to represent the difference between your HOME environment variable and the path to this main project directory. Ultimately, handle needs to point to the place from which you'd run (python app/app.py) the Dash application.

Run your tests

Run the following py.test command from the main project directory to run the any files starting with test_ in the tests directory. This runs all tests.

$ pytest -vv

Run a specific test, test_my_specific_test_case.py:

$ pytest tests/test_my_specific_test_case.py -vv
