Can a dash app be filtered via URL like Power BI

Time:03-31

I am embarking on a POC to replace a Power BI dashboard that can’t do all the visualizations we need with a dash app. One major requirement is to be able to pass multiple filters to the app via url in a manner similar to the Power BI capability.

I have tried to research this and see references to URL callbacks and believe this provides the functionality I will need, but I don’t yet understand dash apps well enough to be sure.

I’m not asking how to, just whether or not it can be done. Thanks!

You can. Use the dcc.Location component (docs), and structure any callbacks that need to listen to the URL to have an Input based on that component. You can even pass multiple things with it, such as "filter_1/3/filter_2/5/filter_3/1" and then .split('/') to break up the string and parse the values.
