streamlit-state-manager 0.1.0

A wrapper around Streamlit's session state for easier state management

Streamlit State Manager

The Streamlit State Manager StateManager is essentially a wrapper around Streamlit's native st.session_state dictionary, that simplifies how you interact with it.

Features

1. Cleaner Code: Reduces boilerplate for initialization and access
2. Error Prevention: Reduces common pitfalls like missing initialization

Installation

pip install streamlit-state-manager

Examples

1. Simplified Access Patterns

Without StateManager:

# Check if exists, initialize, then get
if "counter" not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state["counter"] = 0
count = st.session_state["counter"]

# Updating value
st.session_state["counter"] += 1

With StateManager:

# Get with auto-initialization
count = StateManager.get("counter", 0)

# Updating value
StateManager.set("counter", count + 1)

2. Prevention of Common Errors

Without StateManager:

# Potential KeyError if key doesn't exist
value = st.session_state["maybe_missing_key"]

# Forgetting to check existence before using
st.session_state["counter"] += 1  # Error if counter doesn't exist

With StateManager:

# Safe access with optional default
value = StateManager.get("maybe_missing_key", default_value=None)
