Technical requirements

For the new components that we will introduce, we will still be using the same tools. Dash, Dash Core Components, Dash HTML Components, and Dash Bootstrap Components will be used to build our new functionality and add it to our app. We will also be using pandas for data manipulation, JupyterLab and jupyter_dash for experimenting with isolated functionality, and Plotly and Plotly Express for data visualization.

The main topic of this chapter will be manipulating parts of the URLs and using them as inputs to modify other components. This is the same as using any other element of our app to create the functionality that we want. Let's start by getting to know the two components that make this possible.
