Usage with Callbacks

Per this Dash community answer, to use callbacks with dash-table-experiments there are two key steps (for a full working example see usage-callback.py):

# 1. Declare the table in app.layout
dt.DataTable(
    rows=[{}], # initialise the rows
    row_selectable=True,
    filterable=True,
    sortable=True,
    selected_row_indices=[],
    id='datatable'
)

# 2. Update rows in a callback
@app.callback(Output('datatable', 'rows'), [Input('field-dropdown', 'value')])
def update_datatable(user_selection):
    """
    For user selections, return the relevant table
    """
    if user_selection == 'Summary':
        return DATA.to_dict('records')
    else:
        return SOMEOTHERDATA.to_dict('records')

Usage with Graphs

This example demonstrates the user's ability to select data points either in the table which updates the plot, or in the reverse, select points on the graph which updates the selection on the table. For a full working example see usage.py.

Usage Enabling Edits to a Table

Enable edits to a table which updates other objects e.g. a graph. For a full working example see usage-editable.py
