I’d like to let the community know about this new component I’m working on called Streamlit Flow. It is a streamlit component wrapper over the Flow diagram library React Flow.
For some project that I was working on, I needed the ability to create interactive flow diagrams. I had a look at graphviz, but that doesn’t have intractability from what I saw. Barfi looked promising, but it didn’t quite hit the right spot. I came across React Flow, that has an absolutely stunning UI and a lot of interactive capabilities. Turns out that there already exists a streamlit-react-flow component, but it doesn’t have a lot of the features I needed, and is not currently maintained. As such, I decided it was time to get my hands dirty
I think I have made decent progress in porting a lot of the functionality of React Flow into Streamlit Flow, but being the mature and complex ecosystem that React Flow is, a full (or nearly full) port is going to take significant time and effort.
Some features include:
Super fast flow building
Flexible node and edge elements
Built-in layout engine (ElkJS)
Capturing Component Interaction within Python
There are a lot more details in the README file of the repo:
The Component is now available on PyPI. Install it using
pip install streamlit-flow-component
Would love to hear some feedback from the community, to see what direction to drive this project in. Cheers!
I like it a lot! Could you explain how you capture the component interaction within python? I would to launch a function whenever I click on one of the nodes
Hi! You can find the example here: https://stflow.streamlit.app/Interactions#1-getting-interaction-element. The component returns the element id of the element that has been clicked and None if no element has been clicked, or the pane has been clicked. You can use a conditional statement on the return value to trigger the function as required.
Ok thanks, sorry I had missed it. It works very smoothly, thanks for the component!
A feature I’d love is a more complex customization of the nodes, ideally to be able to replace them by images.
But this version is already very cool, I was really looking for this kind of component!
I am planning to build a “Kanban” like app to track workflow, including planning, working in progress, complete, etc. I think Streamlit Flow can be the basic engine.
If you have other suggestions, please let me know.
Tell me that if I need a table, for example, on the left or below of Canvas, in which nodes and connections would be recorded? And when adding the same data to this table - nodes and connections would also appear on the canvas? Were there any ideas to implement this?
