Python dash Div full page background image

Issue

Sorry i'm very new to dash, css, html coding.

i'm using Dash on Python and i would like a simple full page background with an image.

i'm using this CSS: https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css

i tried to use different CSS (https://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/8.0.1/normalize.css) beacuse i read it was a margin problem but it didn't work

i've read a lot of discussion about this issue but i wasn't able to fix it for my purposes

external_stylesheets = ['https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css']

app       = dash.Dash(__name__,
                      external_stylesheets = external_stylesheets)


app.title = "Q"


colors = {'background': '#ffffff',
          'bg_home': '#666666',
          'text': '#ffa500',
          'background_plot': '#cccccc',
          'text_plot': '#000000'}

app.config['suppress_callback_exceptions']=True
image   = 'url(https://c.wallhere.com/photos/a1/fc/1920x1080_px_Albert_Einstein_Formula_mathematics_physics_science_Special_Relativity-549404.jpg!d)'

app.layout = html.Div(

                className='row',
                  style={
                          'verticalAlign':'middle',
                          'textAlign': 'center',
                          'background-image':image,


                            },

                  children= [

                                              ])


                           ]
                    )

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True,host='0.0.0.0',port=8050)

i'm not gettin error but i just get 1/3 (more or less) of the page with background image and login Div, the rest of the page completely white.

I just would like a full page with background image and login in the center

Thank you all

Solution

In css body tag defines the document's whole body and the div is a part of it, there are two ways to get this working.

1. Make the div to cover the entire page and set the image to the div

Refer here: Making a div that covers the entire page

Modified bit of code,

className='row',
style={
  'verticalAlign':'middle',
  'textAlign': 'center',
  'background-image':image,
  'position':'fixed',
  'width':'100%',
  'height':'100%',
  'top':'0px',
  'left':'0px',
  'z-index':'1000'
},

2. Modify the body tag in theexternal_stylesheet to have the property background-image,

body {
   'background-image' : url(url!d);
}
