Demo

See the package in action here.

Features

READ

• Display as a regular st.dataframe
• Add pagination, displaying only a set of rows each time
• Display the string representation of a ForeignKey column (Using str method), instead of its id number
• Select the columns to display to the user
• Add a column to show the rolling sum of a numeric column

FILTER

• Filter the data by some columns before presenting the table. It can use columns from relationship tables too.
• Let users filter the columns by selecting conditions in the sidebar
• Give possible candidates when filtering using existing values for the columns
• Let users select ForeignKey's values using the string representation of the foreign table, instead of its id number

CREATE / UPDATE / DELETE

• Users create new rows with a dialog opened by clicking the create button
• Users update rows with a dialog opened by clicking on desired row
• Text columns offers candidates from existing values
• ForeignKey columns are added by the string representation instead of its id number
• Hide columns to fill by offering default values
• Delete button in the UPDATE field

Requirements

All the requirements you should probably have anyway.

1. streamlit and sqlalchemy
2. Sqlalchemy models needs a str method
3. Id column should be called "id"
4. Relationships should be added for all ForeignKey columns

Basic Usage

Install the package using pip:

pip install streamlit_sql

Define a ModelOpts and add it to the argument of show_sql_ui function:

from streamlit_sql import ModelOpts, show_sql_ui

conn = st.connection("sql", url="<db_url>")

model_opts = ModelOpts(MyModel)
show_sql_ui(conn, model_opts)

Customize

You can configure the CRUD interface by giving optional arguments to the ModelOpts object. See its docstring for more information or at documentation webpage:

Multiple Models

You can set the model_opts argument to a list of ModelOpts objects. In this case, a st.selectbox will let user to select the table to work on.

Only create or update form

You can display just a create or update/delete form without the read interface using functions show_updade, and show_create.
