dataframe-quickview 0.1.1

A simple package to extend pandas DataFrame functionality for web-based visualization

DataFrame QuickView

DataFrame QuickView is a Python package that extends pandas DataFrame functionality to easily display and visualize DataFrames in a web-based environment. This package is an experiment in paired programming with GPT-4. It is built using Flask and allows users to view paginated DataFrames and interactively generate histograms based on the selected columns.

Features

Phase 1

• Extend pandas DataFrame with quickview() method
• Display paginated DataFrame in a web browser
• Create an interactive dropdown and button combination populated with DataFrame columns
• Generate histograms based on the selected column when the button is pressed

Phase 1 Technical Overview

• Flask server: Represents the backend server running the Flask application, which serves the paginated DataFrame and processes the histogram data.
• DataFrame display: The component in the web browser that shows the paginated DataFrame.
• Column selection: The dropdown and button combination that allows users to select a column for generating the histogram.
• Histogram generation: The component responsible for creating a histogram based on the selected column.

Interactions:

• Flask server sends the paginated DataFrame to the DataFrame display.
• User selects a column in the Column selection component.
• User clicks the button in the Column selection component.
• Flask server receives the selected column and processes the histogram data.
• Histogram generation component receives the data and displays the histogram.

Usage

1. Install the package using pip:

pip install dataframe-quickview

2. Import the package and use the quickview() method on a pandas DataFrame object:

import pandas as pd
from dataframe_quickview import quickview

data = {'A': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 'B': [2, 4, 6, 8, 10], 'C': [3, 6, 9, 12, 15]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

df.quickview()

This will start the Flask server and open the browser to view the paginated DataFrame and interactive histogram.
