5 New Streamlit Features You NEED to Know About
Introduction
Streamlit has been consistently updating its platform, making it easier and more fun to create interactive apps. In this blog, I’ll share five new features that can enhance your projects. Let’s dive in!
Material Icons and Emojis
One of the exciting features is the introduction of material icons and emojis. These can add a visual flair to your applications, making them more engaging. By using icons, you can represent actions or items clearly without needing extra text. Emojis can also help convey emotions or add a bit of fun to your UI, making it more relatable for users.
Button Groups
Another useful feature is button groups. This allows you to group buttons together, which can help in organizing actions that belong together. For example, if you have several options for filtering data, you can place them in a button group. This keeps your interface tidy and makes it easier for users to find related actions.
Pills
Pills are a new way to display categories or selections in your app. They can be visually appealing and help users quickly identify what options are available. For instance, if you are categorizing items, using pills can make it clear which category the user is currently viewing. This feature enhances the overall user experience by providing a clean and organized interface.
Tertiary Button
The addition of tertiary buttons provides another layer of button design. These buttons are less prominent than primary and secondary buttons, making them perfect for actions that are less critical. This helps users focus on the main actions while still providing options for secondary actions without overwhelming them.
Custom CSS
Last but not least, Streamlit now allows for custom CSS. This means you can style your app exactly how you want it to look. Whether you want to change fonts, colors, or layouts, you have the flexibility to make your application unique. Custom CSS can really elevate the visual appeal of your app and make it stand out from the rest.
Conclusion
These new features in Streamlit open up a world of possibilities for developers looking to create interactive and visually appealing applications. From using material icons and emojis to customizing with CSS, you can enhance user engagement and improve the overall experience. Thanks for reading.
