Streamlit Extras

These are some components and modules designed to make working with streamlit easier.

I had a project that required some of these parts, I tried some other community projects that were similar, but none of them had the features I required, so I ended up rewriting my own implementations of them.

Installation and Requirements

Install from PyPI with pip: python3 -m pip install streamlit-base-extras

Requires Streamlit 1.23.1+ and Python 3.10+,

The modules

Router

Page router with various features.

import random
import streamlit as st
from streamlitextras.router import get_router

router = None
def main():
    global router
    pages = {
        "main": main_page,
        "other": another_page,
    }
    st.set_page_config(
        page_title="MyApp",
        layout="wide",
        initial_sidebar_state="auto"
    )
    router = get_router()
    router.delayed_init()  # This is required to make sure current Router stays in session state

    computed_chance = random.randrange(10)
    if computed_chance > 1:
        router.route()
    else:
        router.route("other", computed_chance)

def main_page(page_state = None):
    st.write("This is the main.")

def another_page(page_state = None):
    st.write(f"This is another page, you're lucky to be here. Number {page_state} lucky.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the package readme or API docs for more details.

Cookie Manager

Component function to manage in-browser cookies from streamlit.

import streamlit as st
from streamlitextras.cookiemanager import get_cookie_manager

cookie_manager = None
def main():
    global cookie_manager
    cookie_manager = get_cookie_manager()
    cookie_manager.delayed_init() # Makes sure CookieManager stays in st.session_state

    cookie_manager.set("my_cookie_name", "I'm a cookie!")
    my_cookie_value = cookie_manager.get("my_cookie_name")
    print(my_cookie_value) # "I'm a cookie"

    my_cookies = cookie_manager.get_all()
    print(my_cookies) # {"my_cookie_name": "I'm a cookie!"}

    cookie_manager.delete("my_cookie_name")
    my_cookie_value = cookie_manager.get("my_cookie_name")
    print(my_cookie_value) # None


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the package readme or API docs for more details.

Authenticator

Authentication module that creates streamlit register/login forms, and uses firebase auth to register and manage users. Can also be inherited to use a custom authentication provider.

import streamlit as st
from streamlitextras.authenticator import get_auth

auth = None
def main():
    global auth
    auth = get_auth("my_cookie_name")
    auth.delayed_init() # This is required to make sure current Authenticator stays in session state

    auth_status = auth.auth_status
    user = auth.current_user

    if auth_status and user:
        st.write(f"Welcome {user.displayName}!")
    else:
        auth_page()

def auth_page():
    info_box = st.container()

    if auth.current_form == "login" or not auth.current_form:
        user, res, error = auth.login("Login")
    if auth.current_form == "register":
        res, error = auth.register_user("Register")
    elif auth.current_form == "reset_password":
        res, error = auth.reset_password("Request password change email")

    if res:
        info_box.info("Success!")

    if error:
        info_box.error(error.message)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the package readme or API docs for more details.

Threader

Makes spawning and working with threading.Threads with streamlit easy.

import time
import streamlit as st
import reruntrigger_default # This is required so the watcher can rerun from this file
from streamlitextras.threader import lock, trigger_rerun, \
                                     streamlit_thread, get_thread, \
                                     last_trigger_time

def main():
    thread_name = streamlit_thread(my_threaded_function, (5,))
    st.write("This should be here before my_threaded_function() is done!")
    st.button("Thread info", on_click=button_callback, args=(thread_name,))

def button_callback(thread_name):
    # Sometimes streamlit will trigger button callbacks when re-running,
    # So we block them if we triggered a rerun recently
    if last_trigger_time() < 1:
        return
    my_thread = get_thread(thread_name)
    st.write(my_thread) # threading.Thread

def my_threaded_function(time):
    time.sleep(time)
    with lock:
        # Do something that might interfere with other threads,
        # file operations or setting st.session_state
        pass
    print(f"Thread done! I slept for {time} seconds.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the package readme or API docs for more details.

Logger

Implementation of Loguru set up to work well with this package.

import streamlit as st
from streamlitextras.logger import log

def main():
    log.debug("My app just started!")
    st.write("My app")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the package readme or API docs for more details.

Other helpers

See the API docs for a full list of functions and their usage in these files.

streamlitextras.webutils

Some utility functions to run javascript, wrappers around various javascript routines, and some other browser related formatting utilities.

import streamlit as st
from streamlitextras.webutils import stxs_javascript, get_user_timezone, \
                                    bytes_to_data_uri, trigger_download

def main():
    # Returns tz database name can be used with pytz and datetime
    timezone = get_user_timezone()
    continent, city = timezone.split("/")
    stxs_javascript(f"""alert("Hello person from {city}! Welcome to my streamlit app.");"""

    uploaded_file = st.file_uploader("Upload a file")

    if uploaded_file:
        data_uri = bytes_to_data_uri(uploaded_file)
        # Browser will prompt to save the file
        trigger_download(data_uri, "The file you just uploaded.renamed")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

See the source code.

streamlitextras.helpers

Class implementation that streamlines creating basic HTML elements with st.markdown, and some other useful functions.

See the source code.

streamlitextras.storageservice

Helper to interact with Google Cloud Storage with a service worker account.

It has some basic wrapper functions to use the service account to manage buckets and blobs, as well as computing hashes from Python bytes objects that match gcloud blobs.

See the source code and the google python api reference for more.

import streamlitextras.storageservice as storageservice

with open("my.file", "rb") as f:
    computed_md5_hash = storageservice.compute_bytes_md5hash(f.read())

buckets = storageservice.get_buckets() # Returns an iterable
list_buckets = []
for bucket in buckets:
    list_buckets.append(buckets)
buckets = list_buckets

blobs = get_blobs(buckets[0].name) # Returns an iterable
list_blobs = p[]
for blob in blobs:
    list_blobs.append(blob)
blobs = list_blobs

my_file_blob = blobs[0] # my.file

assert my_file_blob.md5_hash == computed_md5_hash # True

You will need to set up a service worker on your google cloud project or firebase project, and add the details from its .json key to .streamlit/secrets.toml
