Reset screen after button press

[godot63]

In the GUI below, I would like to have the following behaviour, if the user clicks on a button:
the screen is reset and the inoformation about this project is displayed. however, all i am able to do is to continue writing on the existing screen. Is it possible to reset the screen and start witing the information to the empty screen?

        st.markdown('### Projects')
        for index, row in self.projects.iterrows():
            col1, col2 = st.beta_columns([6,1])
            with col1:
                st.markdown(f"**{row['name']}**({row['short_name']})", unsafe_allow_html=True)
                st.markdown(row['description'])
            with col2:
                if st.button(label='Open',key=row['id']):
                    self.current_project = Project(row, self)
                    self.current_project.info()

You are going to need a flag that tells Streamlit not to run the content preceding the button.

This can be done with either the session state implementation

Multi-page app with session state

Edit: Streamlit 0.84.0 has officially introduced session state. Go check it out: Session State for Streamlit Hello there For a project I needed to build multi-page app with a settings page. As I’ve seen this topic requesting the feature, I decided to share the solution I came up with. It features a custom version of @thiago’s SessionState. It still relies on hacks, but it should work in most cases. It was tested with Streamlit version 0.61.0 (and now 0.65). Things you must…

Or it can be done with the get/set query parameters. You could have a “reset button pusher is true” parameter that causes the page to behave differently when that parameter is in the URL
