Layout Components

Dash Dock View provides four distinct layout components for different use cases:

1. DashDockLayout

Full-featured docking system with tabs, floating panels, and drag-and-drop. Ideal for IDE-style interfaces.

from dash_dock_view import DashDockLayout

DashDockLayout(
    id="my-dock",
    panels=[
        {"id": "panel-1", "title": "Editor", "position": "center"},
        {"id": "panel-2", "title": "Console", "position": "bottom", "size": 200},
        {"id": "panel-3", "title": "Explorer", "position": "left", "size": 250},
    ],
    children=[
        html.Div(id="panel-1", children="Main content"),
        html.Div(id="panel-2", children="Console output"),
        html.Div(id="panel-3", children="File explorer"),
    ],
    theme="dockview-theme-dark",
    height="600px",
)

2. DashGridLayout

Grid-based resizable panel system for structured layouts.

# File: docs/dash_dock_view/gridlayout_example.py

"""DashGridLayout example for Dock View documentation."""
from dash import html
import dash_mantine_components as dmc
from dash_dock_view import DashGridLayout

# Sample data for chart
chart_data = [
    {"month": "Jan", "value": 1200},
    {"month": "Feb", "value": 1900},
    {"month": "Mar", "value": 1600},
    {"month": "Apr", "value": 2100},
    {"month": "May", "value": 1800},
]

# Panel contents
panel_contents = [
    html.Div(
        id="grid-chart-panel",
        children=[
            dmc.BarChart(
                h="100%",
                data=chart_data,
                dataKey="month",
                series=[{"name": "value", "color": "blue.6"}],
                withLegend=True,
            )
        ],
        style={"height": "100%", "padding": "1rem"}
    ),
    html.Div(
        id="grid-info-panel",
        children=[
            dmc.Stack([
                dmc.Title("Grid Layout", order=4),
                dmc.Text("Resize panels by dragging the divider.", c="dimmed", size="sm"),
                dmc.Divider(my="md"),
                dmc.Text("Features:", fw=600, size="sm"),
                dmc.List([
                    dmc.ListItem("Horizontal or vertical orientation"),
                    dmc.ListItem("Proportional resizing"),
                    dmc.ListItem("Customizable panel sizes"),
                ], size="sm"),
            ], p="md")
        ],
        style={"height": "100%"}
    ),
]

component = dmc.Paper(
    DashGridLayout(
        id="grid-demo",
        panels=[
            {"id": "grid-chart-panel", "size": 300},
            {"id": "grid-info-panel", "size": 200},
        ],
        children=panel_contents,
        theme="dockview-theme-dark",
        height="300px",
        orientation="horizontal",
        proportionalLayout=True,
    ),
    withBorder=True,
    radius="md",
    p=4,
)

3. DashSplitLayout

Simple split panel layout with horizontal or vertical orientation.

from dash_dock_view import DashSplitLayout

DashSplitLayout(
    id="my-split",
    panels=[
        {"id": "left-panel", "size": 300},
        {"id": "right-panel"},
    ],
    children=[
        html.Div(id="left-panel", children="Left content"),
        html.Div(id="right-panel", children="Right content"),
    ],
    orientation="horizontal",  # or "vertical"
    height="400px",
)

4. DashPaneLayout

Collapsible accordion-style panes for organized content.

from dash_dock_view import DashPaneLayout

DashPaneLayout(
    id="my-panes",
    panels=[
        {"id": "pane-1", "title": "Section 1", "collapsed": False},
        {"id": "pane-2", "title": "Section 2", "collapsed": True},
    ],
    children=[
        html.Div(id="pane-1", children="Content 1"),
        html.Div(id="pane-2", children="Content 2"),
    ],
    height="400px",
)

Panel Configuration

Each panel in the layout can be configured with the following options:

Position Examples:

panels = [
    {"id": "editor", "title": "Editor", "position": "center"},      # Main area
    {"id": "explorer", "title": "Explorer", "position": "left", "size": 250},  # Left sidebar
    {"id": "console", "title": "Console", "position": "bottom", "size": 150},  # Bottom panel
    {"id": "props", "title": "Properties", "position": "right", "size": 200},  # Right sidebar
]

Callbacks and Interactivity

Dash Dock View components integrate seamlessly with Dash callbacks.

Available Callback Properties:

• activePanel: Currently active panel id
• panelCount: Number of visible panels
• layout: Current layout configuration (JSON)

@callback(
    Output("active-display", "children"),
    Output("count-display", "children"),
    Input("dock-layout", "activePanel"),
    Input("dock-layout", "panelCount"),
)
def update_info(active_panel, panel_count):
    return f"Active: {active_panel}", f"Count: {panel_count}"

Dynamic Props vs Construction Props

Some props can be updated dynamically, while others require recreating the component:

Dynamic Props (Live Update):

• locked, gap, disableDnd, disableFloatingGroups, showAddButton, height

Construction Props (Require Reset):

• hideBorders, singleTabMode, panels

# Dynamic prop update - works instantly
@callback(
    Output("dock-layout", "locked"),
    Input("lock-switch", "checked"),
)
def toggle_lock(checked):
    return checked

# Construction prop - requires component recreation
@callback(
    Output("dock-container", "children"),
    Input("apply-btn", "n_clicks"),
    State("hide-borders-switch", "checked"),
)
def apply_construction_props(n_clicks, hide_borders):
    return DashDockLayout(
        id="dock-layout",
        panels=[...],
        children=[...],
        hideBorders=hide_borders,  # Requires fresh component
    )

Best Practices

1. Match Panel IDs: Ensure each panel's id matches the corresponding child component's id

panels = [{"id": "my-panel", "title": "My Panel"}]
children = [html.Div(id="my-panel", children="Content")]  # IDs must match!

1. Set Explicit Height: Always set a height for the container

DashDockLayout(
    ...,
    height="600px",  # or "80vh"
)

1. Use Theme-Aware Backgrounds: For Liquid Glass themes, use gradient backgrounds

html.Div(
    DashDockLayout(..., theme="dockview-theme-liquid-glass-dark"),
    style={
        "background": "linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)",
        "borderRadius": "16px",
        "padding": "4px",
    }
)

1. Prevent Initial Callbacks: Use prevent_initial_call=True for callbacks that respond to user interactions

Troubleshooting

Issue: Panel content not appearing

Solution: Ensure the panel id matches the child component's id exactly.

Issue: Layout not filling container

Solution: Set an explicit height prop (e.g., "600px" or "80vh").

Issue: Theme not applying correctly

Solution: Make sure you're using the correct theme class name and the component is wrapped appropriately for glass themes.

Issue: Drag and drop not working

Solution: Check that disableDnd is not set to True and locked is False.
