great_tables in Streamlit

Using Streamlit
1

Hi,

A similar topic was created last year, when a user wrote “Please give a thought to integrate great-tables with ST”

An answer from @edsaac suggested extracting an HTML representation of the GT table (using as_raw_html()) and passing that to st.html(). This seemed to have met the requirements of the user that created that topic.

I tried to do the same today, and noticed that a lot of the stuff that made me want to use great_tables in the first place, didn’t really make it to the html string. So e.g. flag representation of ISO2 codes (fmt_flag()), nanoplots (fmt_nanoplot()), basically “bells and whistles” stuff. Tried my luck with (inline_css=True) and (all_important=True), but it didn’t change things.

Can anyone think of other solutions to get a more “full” representation of a great_tables table into streamlit, that doesn’t require so a bunch of additional, custom code?

To better integrate great_tables with Streamlit and retain features like flags and nanoplots:

  • Use st.write(html_content, unsafe_allow_html=True) instead of st.html() for better CSS/JS support.

  • Experiment with great_tables options inline_css=True and all_important=True.

  • Consider custom Streamlit components like AgGrid for richer interactive tables.

  • Post-process HTML to inject missing CSS/JS if needed.

  • Engage with great_tables community for improved Streamlit compatibility.

Exporting as raw HTML alone limits some complex interactive features.

Thank you for the suggestion. Using st.write did the trick!
