streamlit-persistence

Allows for persistence of class/instance attributes when using Streamlit in Python

Getting started

Install using pip

pip install streamlit-persistence

or build from source

git clone https://github.com/yaphott/streamlit-persistence.git
cd streamlit-persistence
python3 -m pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
python3 -m pip install .

Using the module

1. Use PersistentObject as the parent class
2. Assign the Streamlit session_state to a class attribute named session_state
3. Assign class/instance attributes as you would normally
   • Check the instantiated class for the instance attribute using hasattr (as you would check session_state for a given key)

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_persistence import PersistentObject


options = [None, "veggie", "pepperoni"]


class Test(PersistentObject):
    session_state = st.session_state

    def run(self):
        if not hasattr(self, "pizza"):
            self.pizza = None

        # Default to the index of previously selected
        selected = st.selectbox(
            "Select a pizza",
            options,
            index=options.index(self.pizza),
        )

        # Update instance attribute if user changes their selection
        if self.pizza != selected:
            self.pizza = selected
            st.experimental_rerun()

        st.success(f"You have selected the pizza: {self.pizza}")


def main():
    Test().run()
