Installation

pip install spork

Background

I created this module because I wanted a simple way to describe how to render pydantic models, especially when streaming in data to update a model. Wouldn't it be nice to see a visual display of the model as it's being updated?

To explore this space a bit, I've created a View and an AutoView. This lets you update fields and have them update within the notebook.

Usage

You can use existing pydantic models or create new ones by inheriting from AutoView:

from spork import AutoView
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Record(BaseModel):
    name: str
    age: int

class RecordView(Record, AutoView):
    def render(self):
        return f"<b>{self.name}</b> is {self.age} years old."


rv = RecordView(name="Kyle", age=35)
rv.display()

When using an AutoView, you can update the fields and the view will update wherever you ran .display()

rv.age = 101
