📣 Official Announcements
1

I am excited to announce the release of version 0.84.0 of Streamlit, which includes the long-awaited Session State feature!

Release date: Jul 1, 2021
Highlights

  • Introducing st.session_state and widget callbacks to allow you to add statefulness to your apps. Check out the blog post

Notable Changes

  • st.text_input now has an autocomplete parameter to allow password managers to be used

Other Changes

  • Using st.set_page_config to assign the page title no longer appends “Streamlit” to that title (#3467)
  • NumberInput: disable plus/minus buttons when the widget is already at its max (or min) value (#3493)

Check out the release app for more details!

Really fantastic, and tying the “default” widget states into the same mechanism is also a brilliant idea - should allow for resetting the whole app etc!

Thank you!

I started using version 0.84.0 today, and st.session_state is working great so far!

Unfortunately, though, I seem to have encountered an incompatibility with the st_aggrid component. If I try to apply a filter in the interactive grid, I get an error: "TypeError: string indices must be integers". Rolling streamlit back to version 0.83 solved the issue.

I used the following function to generate the datatable. Thanks in advance!

from st_aggrid import AgGrid, GridOptionsBuilder, DataReturnMode, GridUpdateMode

def interactive_datatable(df):
    '''    
    Use st_aggrid to show well table in GUI with interactive sorting and filtering options.
    
    df: input dataframe
    
    Returns: dataframe of AgGrid output (including filtering via GUI)
    '''
    #set up aggrid display/interactivity options
    gb = GridOptionsBuilder.from_dataframe(df)
    gb.configure_default_column(groupable=True, value=True, enableRowGroup=True, aggFunc='sum', editable=False)
    gridOptions = gb.build()
    
    #set up data return/update modes
    return_mode_value = DataReturnMode.__members__['FILTERED_AND_SORTED']
    update_mode_value = GridUpdateMode.__members__['FILTERING_CHANGED']
    
    data_return_mode = return_mode_value
                       
    grid_data = AgGrid(df, 
                        gridOptions=gridOptions,
                        width='100%',
                        data_return_mode=return_mode_value,
                        update_mode=update_mode_value)
    
    grid_data_df = pd.DataFrame(grid_data['data'])
    
    return grid_data_df

Hey @BinarySloth

The issue is being tracked here: component value of type dict is not properly marshalled with streamlit==0.84.0 · Issue #3507 · streamlit/streamlit · GitHub

It should be fixed pretty soon :wink:

Cheers,
Fanilo

Thank you!
The session state implementation works wonderful once I did understand how to use it. For me this was the number one thing missing to make streamlit much more useful!
