A small NiceGUI side project I wanted to share

[onclefranck]

Hi everyone, I really enjoy working with NiceGUI and wanted to share a small side project that grew out of that appreciation.

I’ve just published nicegui-builder, an early pre-release library for building NiceGUI interfaces from declarative layouts and schema-aware sources like Pydantic models and pandas DataFrames. It’s still very early, and I’m sharing it mostly in the hope of learning from feedback from the NiceGUI community.

If anyone is curious, I’d be grateful for any thoughts:

Wow, @onclefranck. This has potential. Though I wonder if we can make the structure of the component being made less black-box, if we transform it into valid NiceGUI code, instead of a driver function which drives the thing?

Thanks, I took that feedback seriously. Since then, I’ve been working on an integration approach that fits much more naturally with the usual NiceGUI style, so the library feels less like a black-box driver and more like an extension of normal ui.* usage. If you’re curious, have a look at the examples on the develop branch.
