Hello, I have spent 2-3 weeks trying to do this and would very much appreciate some help as I’m really struggling to complete my task. I am creating a web app where I need to poll an API every second and dynamically update a drop down. I have this currently working to create a list of buttons dynamically however I need to transition this functionality to a dropdown (ore checklist) as I need multi-select functionality.
Working callback for button list where the function detect_drones() returns a 2d array with information on devices i.e
Devices = [[“Phone”, “Mac Address”], [“Phone”, “Mac Address”]]
app.layout = html.Div([
html.Div([
html.H1('Devices dentified'),
html.Span(className='boxLine'),
#Nav is used to create a scroll bar.
html.Nav([
html.Ul([
html.Span(id='buttonCreation'),
])
])
], className='droneBox'),
dcc.Interval(
id='interval-component',
interval=5000,
n_intervals=0
),
])
#Callback to create a button on every detected device
@app.callback(
dd.Output('buttonCreation', 'children'),
[dd.Input('interval-component', 'n_intervals')]
)
def create_buttons(frame):
buttons = []
detected_devices = server_V_0_5.detect_devices()
if len(detected_devices) == 0:
return html.H2('No devices deteced.')
else:
for i, device in enumerate(detected_device):
#If the name is empty
if device[1] == "":
device[1] = device[2]
buttons.append(html.Button(f"{drone[1]}", id=f"D{i+1}"))
return buttons
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)
Here is some idea from another post
app = dash.Dash()
app.layout = html.Div(
[
html.Div([
dcc.Dropdown(
id='name-dropdown',
options=[{'label':name, 'value':name} for name in names],
value = list(fnameDict.keys())[0]
),
],style={'width': '20%', 'display': 'inline-block'}),
),
]
)
@app.callback(
dash.dependencies.Output('opt-dropdown', 'options'),
[dash.dependencies.Input('name-dropdown', 'value')]
)
def update_date_dropdown(name):
opts = fnameDict[name]
options=[{'label':opt, 'value':opt} for opt in opts]
return {'options':options}
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)
Is there a way I can have a dropdown which using interval, dynamically adds elements to the dropdown based off a 2d array. Thank you, any help is much appreciated.
