1. Add OR label to each filter?

Added :)

2. Change the button Select/Deselect all to a selection box?

Done. I first tried to directly edit the first column name of the DataTable, but that was not doable since the "selection" column is not an easily accessible one (it's created by setting row_selectable="multi" in the DataTable component, so we don't have direct access to it for editing), and on top of this columns headers seem to require strings, and do not accept other Dash components. So I ended up tweaking the dcc.Checklist component style to move it in the place you suggested.

It looks the filter of BGC class does not work properly. For GCFs that do not have a BGC class should have a label Unknown, but if you check your test data mock_obj_data.pkl, Unknown gives nothing. Or you can try selecting all labels in BGC class, which does not give all data available.

The issue is fixed now—thanks for pointing it out, @CunliangGeng! It was caused by a mix-up between capitalized and non-capitalized class names.

I found a bug: if we filter a GCF ID, then we select it from the table, and then we cancel it from the filter to insert other ids, and we place another id/ids, then the first one will result selected in the table, even though we didn't select it.

Other useful genomics filters to add: BGC ID, strain

We have now some nice ideas to further improve the plot functionality. Which ones to we want to pick up in the current PR? @CunliangGeng

To recap, the following are the "mandatory" todos:

• Add the hyperlinks to the table's elements (see Create selected data table #21)
• Fix the filtering/selection bug I mentioned above

And the following are nice additions to decide priority on:

• Add options for x and y axis, e.g. #GCF, #BGC, BGC class, for users to choose
• Provide different plot styles for users to choose, e.g. histogram, box plot
• Add BGC ID and strain filters

I will then open new issues, if needed, accordingly.

Thanks for the recap @gcroci2. It's good to merge the current PR and open new ones for the rest issues.

As for the priority, I think it's better to finish the whole page before adding new features like custom plot:

• Add BGC ID and strain filters

• add scoring part

• custom plot

  • Add options for x and y axis, e.g. #GCF, #BGC, BGC class, for users to choose
  • Provide different plot styles for users to choose, e.g. histogram, box plot

What do you think?

What do you think?

I created a new view for the webapp, see here. I labeled there as priorities the issues for finishing the genomics -> metabolomics tab. Then the other issues in "Todo" can be picked up, and the ones with "ehnancement" label (such as the plotting customization) will be the latter to be picked up. Everything is in order of priority, from top to bottom.

So next week I will wrap up this PR, in particular by adding the hyperlinks to the table's elements (with at least some basic info displayed), and by fixing the filtering/selection bug I mentioned above.

We decided to add a filter button to display the filtered data on the DataTable instead of allowing the user to go back and forth between the filter and the DataTable. Every time that the button is clicked, the selection gets cleaned.

Almost done! @CunliangGeng

• I resolved the issue with filtering and row selection by adding a button to apply the filters. Each time the button is clicked, the DataTable row selection is reset. The select-all checkbox functionality is also improved for better consistency.
• I implemented tooltips using the DataTable’s tooltip_data feature. For now, I’ve arbitrarily set the GCF's strains attribute to display in the GCF IDs column and the BGCs' id attribute in the "# BGC" column. Let me know if we want to display additional information or if I should open an issue for future enhancements.
  • Initially, I explored using dbc.Tooltip component for greater flexibility. However, dynamically adding a tooltip to each row/column element would require individual element IDs to be passed to the "target" parameter of dbc.Tooltip. After some investigation, I couldn’t find a straightforward way to achieve this, and it seems that DataTable doesn't support such dynamic elements (without embedding some Javascript on the client side).
  • Should I invest more time exploring the dbc.Tooltip option, or should I open a future issue for this enhancement? The key advantage of dbc.Tooltip is its flexibility, allowing us to embed complex content and enable user interaction, features not supported by the built-in DataTable tooltips.

1. display the text in a table format for strain IDs and BGC IDs (a one column table, later we can add more columns)?

I did it using a markdown type of text, since the tooltip_data parameter supports only plain text and markdown-formatted text.

2. the tooltips can be displayed but will disappear when I try to select and copy text from it. Is there a way to do that?

I am aware of this issue, but I did't find anything to handle it using such tooltips.

Both 1. and 2. kind of enhancements were among the reasons why I wanted to use a dbc.Tooltip rather than the ones built-in DataTables, which have much more simpler functionalities and so are quite limited. But dbc.Tooltip have not been designed to be incorporated in DataTable rows' elements.

Cool!

Could you change the font or the background to make the tooltip box more visible/highlighted? Maybe make the font smaller or using a colourful background?

For the column Strains, better to directly display the strain names (ordered) instead of a StrainCollection.
For the BCG table, also better to make the column ordered by e.g. alphabet.

OK, let's record it as an issue and improve it later.

Opened in #35

When the data table has multiple pages, the display position of tooltip for the page 2+ will be kind of random...

I noticed that and I've just tried to play around with the css properties, but with no improvements. I've added a bullet point about it in #35
