I am trying to employ a data generator inside a callback of a dash app. The idea is to plot some values which are being updated within a data generator function. The generator is created using yield and my question is that how can I employ the generator in an correct way in dash applications. Here are some information that might be helpful for problem clarification:
# generator
def generator():
while True
# do some calculations
yield output
and some information about the app itself:
app = dash.Dash(__name__)
app.layout = html.Div(
[
html.H1(children='Trial'),
dcc.Graph(id='live-graph_1', style={'float': 'left','margin': 'auto'}),
dcc.Graph(id='live-graph_2', style={'float': 'left','margin': 'auto'}),
dcc.Graph(id='live-graph_3', style={'float': 'left','margin': 'auto'}),
dcc.Interval(
id='graph-update',
interval=2*1000),
]
)
#############
## callback
#############
@app.callback([Output('live-graph_1', 'figure'),
Output('live-graph_2', 'figure'),
Output('live-graph_3', 'figure')],
[Input('graph-update', 'n_intervals')])
def update_data(input_data):
# step 1
###########################################
# use data generator to produce new data;
# which is not a simple loading or importing
# function.
###########################################
new_data = next(generator)
# step 2
# create three figures using new_data
# step 3
return fig1, fig2, fig3
It should be reminded the generator is already tested and next(generator) is producing correct values for each call; also, the dash app is working perfect without generator, but the combination results in errors like:
Callback error updating live-graph_1.figure, live-graph_2.figure, live-graph_3.figure
StopIteration
new_data = next(generator)
I would really appreciate any help on this matter.
