hover_data in PX doesn't accept df.index

In wide-mode I can’t do this:

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.stocks(indexed=True)
fig = px.line(df, hover_data={df.index: "|%B %d, %Y"} )

or find any other way of referring to the index.

The syntax is

import plotly.express as px
df = px.data.stocks()
fig = px.line(df, x=df.date, y=df.columns[1:], hover_data={'index': ("|%B %d, %Y", df.index)} )
fig.show()

Is this what you were asking? The keys of the hover_data dict need to be str or numbers.

Or more generally: hover_data={df.index.name: ("|%Y", df.index)} … pretty obscure tho! Not sure where to document that one.

this works for single index, what about multiple index?
