onecode 1.2.2

OneCode, your gateway to Python application deployment on the Cloud! Pssst, if you're not into rolling out your App but simply using them, check out the OneCode Cloud user doc.

:snake: OneCode in One Minute

Install OneCode

pip install onecode

Create your first OneCode project

onecode-create

# then follow the prompts
? Enter the path where to create OneCode project: ~/
? Enter your OneCode project name: HelloWorld

⠋ Creating new OneCode project
✅ Created HelloWorld OneCode project

Add your first OneCode Element

Edit the file HelloWorld/flows/helloworld.py such as

from onecode import Logger, text_input


def run():
    Logger.info(f"Hello {text_input('your name', 'OneCoder')}!")

Running your OneCode project

cd HelloWorld
python main.py

# You should see the following printed
[INFO] helloworld - |OneCode|.helloworld.py:5 - Hello OneCoder!

By default, the OneCode text input is OneCoder but now can take any other values without having to change the code.

:tada: Congratulations, you now are a OneCoder! :tada:

:volcano: Deploy on OneCode Cloud

The following steps will show you how to get setup for the 1st time:

1. Ensure you install at least onecode >= 1.0.0 and have a GitHub account

   • If you have an app with a previous onecode version, upgrade from 0.x.
   • Create your OneCode App (or use an existing one) and push it to your GitHub account.

2. Request a beta-tester access here.

3. Once you received your confirmation email, login on onecode.rocks.

4. Register your first app

   • From the dashboard, navigate to Apps in the top menubar.

   

   • Click on Register New App.

   

   • On your first visit, you'll need to Link GitHub Account to your OneCode account.

   

   • As you are redirected to GitHub, login to your GitHub account.

   

   • Authorize OneCode.

   

   • Upon authorization, you will be redirected back to OneCode with your GitHub identity. You now need to decide which repositories OneCode may access in order to build your app by clicking on GitHub App.

   • Choose which repositories should be accessible by OneCode. Note that you can change these permissions at anytime.

   

   • Select the repository and the branch corresponding to the OneCode App you want to deploy. Choose if needed a different image and Python version than the default one.

   

5. The App will then appear in your personal Apps Workspace and be automatically built. Each new commit that you push to the registered branch will automatically trigger a new build

:rocket: Getting Started with the OneCode API

OneCode relies on the following principles:

• no-disruption: OneCode doesn't force you to change the way you code. No matter what your code structure and Python files hierarchy, OneCode can seamlessly be integrated with it.

• controllable input parameters: simply replace your hard-coded parameters with OneCode functions (called Elements) so that their value can change without having to change the code. One Code, many ways to run!

• automated interface: OneCode push on the cloud, the interface will automatically be generated from the OneCode Elements

• easy deployment: no need to change the code between your local machine and the cloud. Simply push your code as-is on your synchronized GitHub account and your App (environment and UI!) will build automatically!

The most important part of the API are Input and Output Elements. They can be inlined within your code or not, that's up to you (no-disruption!), see examples below:

• use Input Elements whenever you need to expose a parameter with a specific widget. For example:

# instead of: df = pd.read_csv('test.csv')
df = csv_reader('your df', 'test.csv')

# instead of: for i in range(5):
for i in range(slider('N', 5, min=0, max=10)):  # inlined
    # do stuff

# instead of: choice = 'cat'
choice = dropdown('your choice', 'cat', options=['dog', 'cat', 'fish']) # not inlined
Logger.info(f'Your choice is {choice}')

• use Output Elements whenever an output should be returned. For example:

# instead of: plt.savefig('stuff.png')
plt.savefig(file_output('stuff', 'stuff.png'))  # inlined

# instead of: filepath = 'test.txt'
filepath = file_output('test', 'test.txt')  # not inlined
with open(filepath, 'w') as f:
    # do stuff

Check out the full API documentation here!

:arrow_up: Upgrading from 0.x

• Ensure there is requirements.txt file at the root of your App and that it contains at least onecode>=1,<2.

• Change all Output Elements (e.g. image_output(), text_output(), etc.) to simply file_output().

• Remove any section_header() element.

• Check out the work in progress section in case you were using advanced features.

:construction: Work in Progress

As onecode is still transitioning to OneCode Cloud, early versions of the OneCode Cloud don't yet support completely the following features:

• Multi-steps: adding more than one flow to your App will eventually be supported. In the meantime, either split your app (one app per step) or merge all steps under a single one (you may directly update the .onecode.json file or create a new app and move the code to it).

• Folder Inputs: as the cloud doesn't really have directory structures, it needs some special work. In the meantime, replace with multiple selection file_input instead.

• Custom Elements (in custom plugin or onecode_ext): extra security precautions must be taken to allow custom UI on the Cloud. It has therefore been disabled for now. Replace them with regular elements until the Cloud is ready for them.

• Dynamic options: dynamic expressions in options of the dropdown element) is not fully supported yet. You can still use it, in that case, the elements will ask user to fill out values as regular text input (e.g. CSV column names, etc.).

• Dynamic optional: optional as True/False (static) works as expected, however dynamnic expressions will be ignored for now. As a consequence, hide_when_disabled attribute is obsolete until dynamic optional are supported again.

• Attribute count: we go back-and-forth with this one on bringing this one to the Cloud. In the meantime, switch back to non-dynamic elements, e.g. multiple dropdown, text input collecting list of values, etc.

• Running onecode-start: getting a local UI is in the works, it's a pretty big feature, thanks for your patience on that one.
