Dash_extra_components NPM

dash-extra-components

This package provides extra React components for Dash.

Why Dash Extra Components?

Dash Core Components is our "essential" component suite for Dash. Not all components make the cut! Dash Extra Components is a more specialized collection of components written by Plotly. Some components were created for our own projects (dec.TableOfContents was written for the Dash User Guide) while others were made for our Dash Deployment Server customers (e.g. dec.SuggestionsInput). Instead of creating a separate repository for each component, we decided to bundle them as a new package to ease discoverability and maintenance.

Dash Extra Components are maintained by Plotly. However, we don't view them quite as essential as our other Dash components and, as such, won't be giving them as much attention with respect to upkeep and documentation. What you see is what you get!
