Searching product descriptions

The e-commerce company you have been working with has a new challenge for you.

They are interested in providing a way to explore their sales data by country but are encountering difficulties with the product Description column. Unfortunately, the product Description column is a text field with many different values, which won't look good in a dropdown. They may wish to explore colors, brands, or other key descriptors easily.

This sounds like a job for a user-input component!

Help the e-commerce company to enhance their Dash app by taking a text user input to filter the Description column of the provided ecom_sales dataset.

  • Create an input to accept text that has the placeholder text 'Filter Product Descriptions' below line 45.
  • Ensure the callback is triggered when the user presses 'Enter' below line 48.
  • Ensure users are not required to use this input for the graph to render below line 50.
  • If the user has entered an input, use this in the update_plot() function to filter the 'Description' column before re-rendering the plot below line 77.
