# A Dash Infrastructure Framework

## Quickstart



## Introduction

This package defines a standard framework for the development of Dash Applications, both in the context of prototyping and production applications.

The framework relies on several core concepts, which are the building blocks of an application.

- [Callbacks](#Callbacks) are an abstraction for Dash Apps function.
  They perform the conversion between the Dash inputs, the core function and the Dash outputs.
  Therefore a callback should at least be composed of a `_pre_function_hook` and a `_post_function_hook`, wrapping a function representing the core functionality.
- [Components](#Components) are an abstraction for Dash components.
  A Component is an object which has self contained Dash callbacks.
  Those callbacks should only operate on the functionality of the Component, but have no meaningful functionality.
  For instance, the `StoreComponent` has a callback to store the outputs from an another Callback into its state.
- [Dash Apps](#Dash-Apps) are an abstraction for Dash standard Application.
  A Dash Application has one or multiple `Component`s, and `Callback`s.
- [Super Apps](#Super-Apps) are a grouping of multiple `DashApp`s inside a global application.
  Super apps expose an API for every core Callback registered inside it.

In addition to this framework, this package adds a few helper classes, such as a `StoreComponent` or a `FigureComponent`.

## Core Concepts

### Callbacks

#### Example

```python
# callbacks.py
from dash_infra import as_callback
import numpy as np

def to_linspace(state, num_points):
    # A hook function takes the state of the callback as a first argument

    return np.linspace(0, 100, num_points)

def to_figure(state, array: np.ndarray):
    return {"data": [dict(x=state.current_inputs[0], y=outputs, mode="markers")]}


@as_callback(                           # Changes the function into an unbound callback
    NumpySerializer,                    # Mixins adds capabilities to the callback
    pre_func_hooks=[to_linspace],       # Takes the input and changes it into a np.array
    post_func_hooks=[to_figure],        # Takes the output and converts it into a plotly graph
)
def square(x: "Arrayable") -> np.ndarray:
    """
    Computes the square of an array x
    """
    # the function is defined as it would normally be
    return np.array(x) ** 2

```

At this point the callback `square` is not bound to any app or inputs.
It is still a callable, and `square([1,2,3])` returns `[1, 4, 9]`.

### Components

#### Example

```python
# components.py
from dash_core_components import Graph, Slider

from dash_infra import as_component
from dash_infra.components.groups import ComponentGroup
from dash_infra.html_helpers.divs import Col


graph_square = as_component(Graph, "square", container=Col(s=6))
slider = as_component(Slider, "input", container=Col(s=6))
group = ComponentGroup("main", slider, graph_square, graph_cube)

```

Standard dash components can be transferred into our framework with `as_component(obj, id, container)`.
This conversion allows easier registry in the Dash application

### Dash Apps

#### Example

```python
# app.py

from dash_infra import KWSDashApp
from .components import group
from .callbacks import square

dash_app = KWSDashApp("A multplier component", doc=__doc__)
dash_app.register_component(group)
dash_app.register_callback(
    square, 
    outputs=("square", "figure"), 
    inputs=[("input", "value")]
)

```

### Super Apps

Super apps wrap Dash apps, and provide the Dash callbacks with a restful API.
