🚀 Usage

Just import render and pass any dictionary to it. DictScope will start a local server and open your browser automatically.

from dictscope import render
import time
import math
# 1. Prepare your data
data = {
    "status": "running",
    "metrics": {"cpu": 0, "memory": []},
    "config": {"debug": True}
}
# 2. Update it in a loop
for i in range(100):
    data["metrics"]["cpu"] = math.sin(i / 10)
    data["metrics"]["memory"].append(i)
    
    # 3. Render! (Browser updates automatically)
    render(data)
    
    time.sleep(0.1)
