Dash Bootstrap Templates
dash-bootstrap-templates
library provides:
-
52 Bootstrap themed Plotly figure templates
- You will find a Plotly template for each of the 26 Bootstrap/Bootswatch themes available in the Dash Bootstrap Components Library. These templates will automatically style your figures with Bootstrap theme colors and fonts.
- As of V1.1 a dark mode is available for each theme. This is ideal for use with the Bootstrap Color Modes available as of Bootstrap 5.3.0
-
Two All-in-One components to change themes in a Dash app.
ThemeSwitchAIO
toggles between two themes.ThemeChangerAIO
select from multiple themes.
-
Examples of a Color Mode Switch to toggle between a light and dark theme.
-
The dbc.css stylesheet which styles Dash AG Grid, Dash Core Components and the Dash DataTable with a Bootstrap theme.
Usage Notes:
-
The ThemeChangerAIO
component and the dbc.css
stylesheet requires Dash Bootstrap Components>=V1.0.0. It will only
work with the themes included in Dash Bootstrap Components>=V1.0.0.
-
As of V1.0.8, the themes in the ThemeSwitchAIO
component can be specified as a pathname or a URL. This allows for working
off-line and with custom stylesheets.
-
The Bootstrap themed Plotly figure templates can be used with any Plotly figure. It does not require Dash or
the Dash Bootstrap Components library.
Figure Template Quickstart

dbc.css stylesheet
The dash-ag-grid
, dash-core-components
, the Dash DataTable
and Plotly figures are not automatically styled with a Bootstrap theme.
An easy way to make your Dash components look better with a Bootstrap theme is to use the stylesheet from
the dash-bootstrap-templates library. This stylesheet defines the "dbc" class.
Adding className="dbc dbc-ag-grid"
minimally styles Dash components with your selected Bootstrap theme:
- Makes the text readable in both light and dark themes.
- Uses theme's font-family.
- Changes the accent color to the theme's primary color
You can add the dbc class as an external stylesheet like this:
dbc_css = ("https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/AnnMarieW/dash-bootstrap-templates@V1.0.2/dbc.min.css")
app = dash.Dash(__name__, external_stylesheets=[dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP, dbc_css])
Add className="dbc dbc-ag-grid"
to the outer container of the app or a component like this:
app.layout = dbc.Container(
[
...
],
fluid=True,
className="dbc dbc-ag-grid"
)
That's it! Simply adding className="dbc dbc-ag-grid"
will make Dash AG Grid, Dash Core Components and the DataTable look better with ALL themes included in the dash-bootstrap-components
library.

Theme Switcher Components
See a live demo at https://hellodash.pythonanywhere.com/theme_change_components
dash-bootstrap-templates
has two All-in-One components to change themes.
The ThemeSwitchAIO
is a switch with icons on the left and right, which is ideal for toggling between a light and a dark theme.
The ThemeChangerAIO
has a button that opens an dbc.Offcanvas
component which by default shows all the available themes.
Note the All-in-One component switches the Bootstrap stylesheet for the app and sets the default Plotly figure template
for the theme, however, figures must be updated in a callback in order to render the figure with the new template.
See the callback below for an example. The template_from_url
is a helper function that returns the template name
based on the theme url. For example template_from_ur(dbc.themes.SLATE)
returns "slate"

Here is the same app, but using a the ThemeSwitchAIO
component to toggle between two themes.
See the (code here).
It's also possible to change the icons. See an example of using Bootstrap icons instead of the default FontAwesome
icons here.
Color Mode Switch
Requires dash-bootstrap-components>=1.5.0
This is the recommended way to switch between a light and a dark mode using Bootstrap Color modes
available in Bootstrap 5.3.0.

[
dbc.Label(className="fa fa-moon", html_for="switch"),
dbc.Switch( id="switch", value=False, className="d-inline-block ms-1", persistence=True),

Dash AG Grid with a Bootstrap theme
Here is an example of the theme change component to show different Bootstrap themes with Dash AG Grid:
See live demo https://hellodash.pythonanywhere.com/adding-themes/ag-grid
Background
Dash Labs is Plotly library that explores new features for future releases of Dash.
In Dash Labs V0.4.0, there was a cool feature where Bootstrap themed figure templates were created "on the fly". This was a
part of the layout templates project that is no longer being developed.
Even though these Bootstrap themed figure templates will not be included in Dash, the dash-bootstrap-templates
makes
them available to you. The figure templates are created using the Dash Labs' algorithms and saved in json format. When
you use load_figure_template()
in your app, it loads the json file, adds it to plotly.io
and sets it as the default figure template for an app. See more
information about Plotly figure templates here.
Available Themes
This library provides a figure template for the following Bootstrap/Bootswatch themes:
templates = [
"bootstrap",
"cerulean",
"cosmo",
"cyborg",
"darkly",
"flatly",
"journal",
"litera",
"lumen",
"lux",
"materia",
"minty",
"morph",
"pulse",
"quartz",
"sandstone",
"simplex",
"sketchy",
"slate",
"solar",
"spacelab",
"superhero",
"united",
"vapor",
"yeti",
"zephyr"
]
templates_dark = ['bootstrap_dark', 'cerulean_dark', 'cosmo_dark', 'cyborg_dark', 'darkly_dark', 'flatly_dark', 'journal_dark', 'litera_dark', 'lumen_dark', 'lux_dark', 'materia_dark', 'minty_dark', 'morph_dark', 'pulse_dark', 'quartz_dark', 'sandstone_dark', 'simplex_dark', 'sketchy_dark', 'slate_dark', 'solar_dark', 'spacelab_dark', 'superhero_dark', 'united_dark', 'vapor_dark', 'yeti_dark', 'zephyr_dark']
Note in dark themes ["cyborg", "darkly", "slate", "solar", "superhero", "vapor"], there is not much difference in the figure templates in light or dark color modes.
ThemeChangerAIO Reference
ThemeChangerAIO is an All-in-One component composed of a parent html.Div
with
the following components as children:
dbc.Button
("switch
") Opens the Offcanvas component for user to select a theme.dbc.Offcanvas
("offcanvas
")dbc.RadioItems
("radio
"). The themes are displayed as RadioItems inside the dbc.Offcanvas
component.
The value
is a url for the themehtml.Div
is used as the Output
of the clientside callbacks.
The ThemeChangerAIO component updates the stylesheet when the value
of radio changes. (ie the user selects a new theme)
- param:
radio_props
A dictionary of properties passed into the dbc.RadioItems component. The default value
is dbc.themes.BOOTSTRAP
- param:
button_props
A dictionary of properties passed into the dbc.Button component. - param:
offcanvas_props
. A dictionary of properties passed into the dbc.Offcanvas component - param:
aio_id
The All-in-One component ID used to generate components' dictionary IDs.
The All-in-One component dictionary IDs are available as:
- ThemeChangerAIO.ids.radio(aio_id)
- ThemeChangerAIO.ids.offcanvas(aio_id)
- ThemeChangerAIO.ids.button(aio_id)
ThemeSwitchAIO Reference
ThemeSwitchAIO is an All-in-One component composed of a parent html.Div
with the following components as children:
dbc.Switch
("switch
") with icons to the left and right of the switch.dcc.Store
("store
") The themes
are stored in the data
prop.html.Div
is used as the Output
of the clientside callbacks.
The ThemeSwitchAIO component updates the stylesheet when triggered by changes to the value
of switch
or when
the themes are updated in the "store
" component. The themes in the switch may be updated in a callback
by changing the theme urls in the "store
" component.
- param:
switch_props
A dictionary of properties passed into the dbc.Switch component. - param:
themes
A list of two urls for the external stylesheets or pathnames to files. - param:
icons

{"left" :"fa fa-moon", "right" :"fa fa-sun"}
. - param:
aio_id
The All-in-One component ID used to generate component's dictionary IDs.
The All-in-One component dictionary IDs are available as
