NiceGui-UGForm 1.1.1

User Generated Form Component for NiceGUI Framework

NiceGUI-UGForm

Form Builder Component for NiceGUI Framework
适用于 NiceGUI 框架的表单构建器组件

Introduction

This Python library provides a flexible form builder for the NiceGUI framework. It allows the user to create a user-generated form (UGForm) via NiceGUI, easily serialize/deserialize form schemas and display them.

Features

• Easy Serialization: Export/import form schemas as JSON or compressed Base64 strings.
• Interactive UI: Built-in form editor and display components for NiceGUI.
• Built-in I18N: Supports multiple languages (currently English and Chinese).
• Well-Designed: Follows best practices such as type annotations.

Currently supported field types:

Field Type	Validation Approaches
TextField	min/max length, regex pattern
IntegerField	min/max value
FloatField	min/max value
BooleanField	-

Demo

See demo.py for a complete example about what can it do.

Form Editor	Form Display

Get Started

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install nicegui_ugform

Minimal Example

Here's a simple example to get started:

from nicegui import ui
from nicegui_ugform import Form, FormEditor, FormDisplay, TextField, IntegerField

# Create a form
form = Form(
    title="Registration Form",
    description="Please fill out your information",
    locale="en"  # or "zh_cn" for Chinese
)

# Add fields
form.add_field(TextField(
    name="username",
    label="Username",
    required=True,
    min_length=3,
    max_length=20
))

form.add_field(IntegerField(
    name="age",
    label="Age",
    required=True,
    min_value=18,
    max_value=120
))

# Create pages
@ui.page('/')
def index():
    # Form Editor - allows users to modify form structure
    editor = FormEditor(form)
    editor.render()

@ui.page('/display')
def display():
    # Form Display - shows the form to end users
    def on_submit():
        data = form.dump_data()
        print("Submitted data:", data)
    
    display = FormDisplay(form, on_submit=on_submit)
    display.render()

ui.run()

Usage

Schema Serialization

You can export and import form schemas:

# Export as JSON
schema = form.dump_schema()

# Export as compressed Base64
schema_b64 = form.dump_schema_b64(compression_flag=1)

# Import from JSON
loaded_form = Form.load_schema(schema)

# Import from Base64
loaded_form = Form.load_schema_b64(schema_b64)

I18N Support

You can use different locales for the form editor and display:

from nicegui_ugform import FormEditor, I18nHelper

# Get available locales
locales = I18nHelper.get_available_locales()
for loc in locales:
    print(f"{loc.name}: {loc.code}")  # English: en, Chinese (Simplified): zh_cn

# Use specific locale
editor = FormEditor(form, locale="zh_cn")

# Form locale is saved in schema and auto-applied on display
form.locale = "zh_cn"
display = FormDisplay(form)  # Will use zh_cn automatically

Field Types

TextField - Text input with validation

TextField(
    name="email",
    label="Email",
    required=True,
    regex=r"^[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$"
)

IntegerField - Integer number input

IntegerField(
    name="age",
    label="Age",
    min_value=0,
    max_value=150
)

FloatField - Decimal number input

FloatField(
    name="height",
    label="Height (m)",
    min_value=0.0,
    max_value=3.0
)
