Overview

syntaxmatrix (lowercase) is a lightweight, Pythonic UI library that lets you build interactive chat-style front-ends for AI apps without diving into a full web framework. It provides:

• Rapid widget registration (text inputs, buttons, file uploaders)
• Dynamic theme toggling and multiple UI modes
• Built-in PDF ingestion & chunking
• Stylized feedback (success, error, warning, info)
• Admin panel, session management, and more

Ideal for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) demos, data explorers, or any AI assistant interface.

Features

• Rapid UI Creation: One-line calls to register text_input, button, file_uploader, etc.
• Built-in Chat Loop: Core /process_chat endpoint automatically wires three keys:
  • user_query (text input),
  • submit_query (send button),
  • user_pdfs (PDF uploader + chunking).
• Custom Widgets: Register any keys you like—just provide matching handler logic.
• PDF Ingestion: load_pdf_chunks(directory) scans a folder, splits PDFs into chunks, caches in SQLite, and returns a {filename: [chunks,…]} map.
• Session File Uploads: get_user_chunks(), add_user_chunks(), clear_user_chunks() for per-session user files.
• Dynamic Themes: enable_theme_toggle(), set_theme(), plus list_themes().
• Multiple UI Modes: set_ui_mode() supports default, bubble, card, smx (new!) and list_ui_modes().
• Rich Output: markdown(), latex(), plt_plot(), plotly_plot(), plus error(), warning(), success(), info().
• Branding Helpers: set_user_icon(), set_bot_icon(), set_site_icon(), set_site_logo(), set_site_title(), set_project_title().
• Session Management: Named chat sessions with rename/delete; session IDs via get_session_id().

Quick-Start Snippet

This minimal example uses the built-in chat flow (no custom keys required):

import syntaxmatrix as smx

# Handler for text-submission
def create_conversation():
    q = smx.get_text_input_value("user_query").strip()
    if not q:
        smx.warning("Please enter a question.")
        return
    # …your AI call or logic here…
    smx.success(f"You asked: {q}")

# UI setup
smx.set_ui_mode("smx")               # new "smx" display style
smx.enable_theme_toggle()            # add light/dark toggle

# Activate built-in widgets (must use these keys)
smx.text_input(
    "user_query",                  # text box
    "Ask me anything…",            # label
    placeholder="Type your question here…"
)
smx.button(
    "submit_query",                # send button key
    "Send",                        # label
    callback=create_conversation    # invoked on send
)
smx.file_uploader(
    "user_pdfs",                   # PDF uploader key
    "Upload PDFs",                 # label
    accept_multiple_files=True     # chunking happens automatically
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    smx.run()

Note: If you register different keys, you must also adapt your handlers and/or the request-processing logic to match those names.

Registering Custom Widgets

You’re not limited to the three defaults. Example:

# Custom keys:
smx.text_input("query_box", "Your query…")
smx.button("ask_btn", "Ask", callback=my_ask_handler)
smx.file_uploader(
    "pdf_docs",
    "Attach Documents", 
    accept_multiple_files=True,
    callback=my_upload_handler
)

Then your my_ask_handler() must read from smx.get_text_input_value("query_box"), and you’ll need to implement or wrap the chat loop yourself if you deviate from the built-ins.
