# Dash 1.0 Layout Wrapper Functions (adapted from https://github.com/daattali/dash2)

#' Create a Dash application
#'
#' This is a convenience function that returns a [`Dash`] R6 object.
#' For advanced usage, you can use the object as an R6 object directly instead
#' of the functions provided by the `{dash}` package.
#'
#' @param title _(character)_ The browser window title.
#' @param update_title _(character)_ The browser window title while a callback
#' is being processed. Set to `NULL` or `""` if you don't want Dash to
#' automatically update the window title.
#' @param assets_folder _(character)_ Path (relative to the current working
#' directory) containing extra files to be served by the browser. All files
#' with ".js" or ".css" extensions will automatically be included on the page,
#' unless excluded with `assets_ignore`. Any other files, such as images, will
#' only be served if explicitly requested.
#' @param assets_url_path _(character)_ URL path for serving assets. For
#' example, a value of "www" means that any request path that begins with
#' "/www" will be mapped to the `assets_folder`. If your assets are hosted
#' online, you can provide a CDN URL, such as "http://your-assets-website".
#' @param assets_ignore _(character)_ Regular expression for ".js" and ".css"
#' files that should not be automatically included. Ignored files will still
#' be served if explicitly requested. Note that you cannot use this to
#' prevent access to sensitive files since ignored files are accessible
#' by users.
#' @param eager_loading _(logical)_ Whether asynchronous resources are
#' prefetched (`TRUE`) or loaded on-demand (`FALSE`).
#' @param serve_locally _(logical)_ Whether to serve HTML dependencies locally
#' or remotely (via URL).
#' @param pathname_url_base _(character)_ Local URL prefix to use app-wide.
#' @param pathname_routes_prefix _(character)_ Prefix applied to the backend
#' routes. Defaults to `pathname_url_base`.
#' @param pathname_requests_prefix _(character)_ Prefix applied to request
#' endpoints made by Dash's front-end. Defaults to `pathname_url_base`.
#' @param compress _(logical)_ Whether to try to compress files and data. If
#' `TRUE`, then `brotli` compression is attempted first, then `gzip`, then the
#' `deflate` algorithm, before falling back to identity.
#' @param suppress_callback_exceptions _(logical)_ Whether to relay warnings
#' about possible layout mis-specifications when registering a callback.
#' @param show_undo_redo _(logical)_ If `TRUE`, the app will have undo and redo
#' buttons for stepping through the history of the app state.
#' @seealso [`run_app()`]
