Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science

By: Tyler Richards

Overview of this book

Streamlit shortens the development time for the creation of data-focused web applications, allowing data scientists to create web app prototypes using Python in hours instead of days. Getting Started with Streamlit for Data Science takes a hands-on approach to helping you learn the tips and tricks that will have you up and running with Streamlit in no time. You'll start with the fundamentals of Streamlit by creating a basic app and gradually build on the foundation by producing high-quality graphics with data visualization and testing machine learning models. As you advance through the chapters, you’ll walk through practical examples of both personal data projects and work-related data-focused web applications, and get to grips with more challenging topics such as using Streamlit Components, beautifying your apps, and quick deployment of your new apps. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create dynamic web apps in Streamlit quickly and effortlessly using the power of Python.

Chapter 7: Exploring Streamlit Components

Streamlit has a full-time team of developers working on new features but also thrives because it is open to community-driven development. Undoubtedly, there will be community members who want a specific feature that did not make it onto the roadmap of priorities. Streamlit Components allow them the flexibility to go out and make it themselves, and immediately use their idea in their own Streamlit apps.

Our priority in this chapter is to learn how to find and use community-made Streamlit Components. For that, we will run through three excellent Streamlit apps, one to learn how to embed code into our Streamlit apps, another for adding beautiful animations to them, and a third to embed easy automated exploratory data analysis (EDA) to Streamlit apps.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Using Streamlit Components: streamlit-embedcode
  • Using Streamlit Components: streamlit-lottie
  • Using Streamlit Components...
