Description

I checked the forums and issues and did not find any export information for the dev tool graph.

in the forums I only found this thread: https://community.plotly.com/t/profiling-documenting-the-dash-callback-network/71975

But there is not discussion about exporting the graph.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to export and further process the dash dev tool callback graph.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • a command to export the complete dev tool callback graph in a standard graph format
  • format examples:

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • somehow checking the source code of the dash dev tools while running to export the graph there. (would be complicated i guess)

Research direction

No file or test is named; start by locating how the Dash dev tool builds its complete callback graph and review the requested GraphML, Graphviz DOT, and networkx-compatible formats. Done means providing a command or entry point that exports the complete graph in a documented standard format.
