Contains four URL patterns:

  1. The default URL pattern is an empty string (i.e., https://lyprox.org/dataexplorer/), which is handled by the render_data_stats. It is called when the user initially navigates to the dashboard site. But also when a GET request is sent (e.g. by pressing Alt+C) instead of the POST request (see the AJAX URL pattern below).
  2. The AJAX URL pattern is /ajax/, which is handled by the update_data_stats. Its job is to update the already rendered HTML dashboard with new statistics, when the user updates their selection and clicks the "Compute" button. This sends a POST request to the server.
  3. The table URL pattern is /table/, which is handled by the render_data_table. It displays a (possibly filtered) pandas.DataFrame as HTML.
  4. The help URL pattern is /help/, which is handled by the help_view.
