Reactive Programming with PLOTLY and DASH

Reactive programming requires the programmer to build a framework around their core algorithms that supports interactivity, that is, having the application respond to mouse and keyboard input. This framework might constitute the bulk of the programmer’s effort; however, the techniques used will often be easily applied to other projects, in effect becoming a mostly reusable (or at least easily customizable) wrapper for the primary function’s code. In this chapter, we introduce PLOTLY and DASH to support interactivity and output deployment to a web browser.
