Dash Bio apps need to be moved to dash-bio.plotly.host

In accordance with https://github.com/plotly/streambed/issues/12263, we are making our index.py app obsolete. The applications we currently have are not true standalone apps, since they just modify the layout on the main index.py app. Right now, index.py lives on that server (https://dash-gallery.plotly.host/dash-bio) and its portal (https://dash-bio.plotly.host/Portal/)

What we need to do:

• Publish the dash bio package to test.pypi.org
• Separate the requirements for each app from our requirements.txt file, add in the dash_bio dependency
• Set up a file structure within the repository that will house all of the applications. I’m thinking just a folder called demo_apps that contains a folder for each app
• Copy each app’s relevant sample_data files into its folder
• Create all the necessary files (looks like we need a config.py and runtime.txt) for each app in its folder
• Once the apps are on the portal, tag them (this looks like a really cool feature we should take advantage of!) with things like “genomics”, “visualizations”, etc.

Let’s get this done before I fly out to Boston for training with Amgen (13 Feb)! They’re a huge pharmaceutical company and it would be awesome to show off Dash Bio and sell them on DDS simultaneously 😃 let’s get that 🍞

@shammamah : I did

import dash


def run_standalone_app(layout, callbacks, port=8050, debug=True):

    app = dash.Dash()
    app.scripts.config.serve_locally = True
    app.config["suppress_callback_exceptions"] = True

    server = app.server

    app.layout = layout()  # assign layout
    callbacks(app)  # register all of the callbacks
    app.run_server(debug=debug, port=port)

in a app_standalone.py file in tests/dashbio_demos/utils, then

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from tests.dashbio_demos.utils.app_standalone import run_standalone_app
    run_standalone_app(layout, callbacks)

at the end of an app file works (for me at least). Then the css needs to be linked properly 😃

@shammamah Oh, of course it works locally!! haha Will edit 😉
