Manual

Begin with the First steps section to learn how to wrap functions and dataclasses and run them via Fiatlight.

Then, explore the following sections.

Introductory topics:¶

• Add types to signatures so that Fiatlight can generate a GUI for your functions

• Use fiatlight command line tool to list all supported types and their possible GUI customization options

• Customize widgets using fiat_attributes

• Fully customize any parameter’s GUI by writing it by hand

• Add GUI only nodes to your functions graph (i.e. nodes that do not have a function associated with them)

• Run functions asynchronously

• Create GUI for structured data, i.e pydantic models and dataclasses

Advanced topics:¶

• Validate inputs in the GUI

• Reuse Fiatlight widgets in your own apps, not only in Fiatlight’s functions graphs.

• Fully customize functions GUI by subclassing FunctionWithGui

• Fine-tune functions by viewing their internal status. Debug and replay exceptions.

• Create complex functions graph

• Create and register custom widgets for specific types

Domain-specific topics:¶

Explore Fiatlight Kits, collections of pre-built widgets for specific domains, such as:

• fiat_image: advanced image widget for image processing

• fiat_matplotlib: display matplotlib figures for plotting with Matplotlib

• fiat_dataframe: pandas DataFrame explorer: a widget to display explore pandas dataframes
