Windows

The Windows component enables you to open new Glue42 Windows. Instantiate the component and assign an ID to it:

import dash
import dash_glue42

​app = dash.Dash(__name__)
​
​app.layout = dash_glue42.Glue42(id="glue42", children=[
    dash_glue42.Windows(id="g42-windows")
])

To open a Glue42 Window, define a callback and pass the ID of the Windows component and its open property in the Output. For Input pass the ID and the property of the component that you want to trigger opening the window. When opening a new Glue42 Window, it is required to specify a unique name and a URL. Pass an options object if you want to specify window bounds, mode, etc.

For more details on the available window settings, see Window Settings.

The following example demonstrates how to open a new window with specific bounds and a title when the user clicks a button:

@app.callback(
    Output("g42-windows", "open"),
    Input("open-window", "n_clicks"),
    prevent_initial_call=True
)
def open_window(_):

    return {
        # Each Glue42 Window must have a unique name.
        "name": "glue42-docs",
        "url": "https://docs.glue42.com",
        "options": {
            "title": "Glue42 Docs",
            "width": 400,
            "height": 500,
        }
    }

See the Dash Window Management example on GitHub.

You can specify settings per Glue42 Window either by using its app configuration file, or by passing an options object when opening a new window.

• using the app configuration settings:

{
    "type": "window",
    "name": "glue42-docs",
    "details": {
        "url": "https://docs.glue42.com",
        "height": 640,
        "width": 560,
        "left": 100,
        "top": 100,
        "mode": "flat",
        "title": "Glue42 Documentation",
        "backgroundColor": "#1a2b30",
        "focus": false
    }
}

• passing an options object when opening a new window:

@app.callback(
    Output("g42-windows", "open"),
    Input("open-window", "n_clicks"),
    prevent_initial_call=True
)
def open_window(_):

    options = {
            "height": 640,
            "width": 560,
            "left": 100,
            "top": 100,
            "mode": "flat",
            "title": "Glue42 Documentation",
            "backgroundColor": "#1a2b30",
            "focus": False
        }

    return {
        "name": "glue42-docs",
        "url": "https://docs.glue42.com",
        "options": options
    }

All available window settings that can be passed via configuration or at runtime are described in the app configuration schema under the "windows" key.
