# dash-core-components — Core component suite for Dash

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 1.7M/mo

## What it is and what it does

Dash Core Components is a library of pre-built React components designed for use in Dash applications. It provides interactive UI elements like graphs, dropdowns, sliders, and tables that developers can assemble into web dashboards. As of Dash 2, this package is no longer actively developed—its functionality has been integrated into the main Dash repository, and this package now serves only to maintain backward compatibility with older projects that explicitly depend on it.

The package installs with no runtime dependencies and has low friction, but choosing it means committing to a deprecated codebase. New projects should use Dash 2+ directly, which bundles these components and receives ongoing maintenance and updates.

Use it for:

- Maintaining legacy Dash 1.x applications that explicitly import dash_core_components.
- Bridging older codebases to Dash 2 when direct migration is not immediately feasible.
- Educational or historical reference for how Dash components were structured before consolidation.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a suite of React components for building interactive web dashboards in Dash, now maintained as part of the main Dash repository as of version 2.

No, unless you are maintaining a legacy Dash 1.x codebase. The package is abandoned and its functionality is now part of the main Dash library. New projects should install Dash 2+ directly; existing projects should migrate to the consolidated repository to receive updates and security fixes.

## Install

pip install dash-core-components
uv add dash-core-components
poetry add dash-core-components

## Installing dash-core-components

Before you install: Installation is straightforward with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned—development moved to the main Dash repository in version 2. It exists only for backward compatibility with older Dash projects.

License in practice: MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, though you must retain the license notice in distributions.

Quickstart:

pip install dash-core-components==2.0.0

import dash_core_components as dcc

# Use in a Dash layout:
dcc.Graph(id='my-graph', figure={...})

This package is abandoned; new projects should use Dash 2+ directly, which includes these components in the main repository.

Verify before relying:

- Whether existing Dash 1.x projects can safely upgrade to dash-core-components 2.0.0 without breaking changes.
- Current state of the main Dash repository's component API relative to this standalone package.
