dash-lazy-load

Large dash apps taking forever to initially render on page load? dash-lazy-load wraps Dash components with lazy loading that only render in the page when scrolled or resized into view!

This package creates a Dash wrapper around the excellent react-lazyload package.

Get started

$ pip install dash-lazy-load

To get simple lazy loading set up, the only change necessary is to wrap a Dash components with dash_lazy_load.LazyLoad.

import dash_lazy_load
import dash
import dash_html_components as html

app = dash.Dash('')

app.scripts.config.serve_locally = True


app.layout = html.Div([
    html.Div('Testing', style=dict(height=1200)),
    dash_lazy_load.LazyLoad(
        html.Div('I loaded in lazily!!', style=dict(border='5px solid blue')),
        height=500,
        debounce=1000)
])


if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run_server(debug=True)

The blue border component loads in after a debounce period on scroll(!)
