Hi!
I’m trying to embed a Dash.jl app in a website that is generated by Genie.jl.
My approach is working with Stipple.jl apps but unfortunately, due to the lack of documentation I’m not able to do something useful with it 
. This is why I want to use Dash.jl.
My approach with Stipple.jl is as follows:
In the MyController.jl file I have a slightly modified version of the HelloStipple example
# MyController.jl
module MyController
using Genie, Genie.Renderer.Html, Stipple
Base.@kwdef mutable struct Name <: ReactiveModel
name::R{String} = "World!"
end
global MODEL = Stipple.init(Name())
function ui()
[
page(
vm(MODEL), class="container", title="Hello Stipple",
[
h1([
"Hello, "
span("", @text(:name))
])
p([
"What is your name? "
input("", placeholder="Type your name", @bind(:name))
])
]
)
] |> html
end
function _ui()
html_str = String(ui().body)
html(:scales, :ui; ui=html_str)
end
end
With the _ui() function I send the HTML string to the view file in resourches/my/views/ui.jl.html which simply looks like this:
<% ui %>
And for completeness the routes.jl file:
# routes.jl
using Genie.Router, MyController
route("/", MyController._ui)
Now I suppose to make it work with Dash.jl I have to somehow get the proper HTML string from my app. The problem is I can’t figure out how to do this. Searching for how to embed a Dash app into a website I found this solution for Python/Flask:
server = Flask(__name__)
app = dash.Dash(__name__, server=server, url_base_pathname='/dummypath')
app.layout = <setup your Dash app here>
@server.route("/dash")
def MyDashApp():
return app.index()
So, if I interpret that correctly, app.index() returns the HTML in this case. Problem is, I can’t find a Julia equivalent to the app.index() method.
