SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

  • Cautions: custom components are not maintained by Streamlit; verify compatibility with your Streamlit version, check maintenance activity, and assess community adoption.
  • Popular components: streamlit-keyup, streamlit-bokeh, streamlit-aggrid, streamlit-folium, pygwalker, streamlit-extras for a range of live inputs, visuals, and data exploration.

Quick Start

Install a community component with uv add <pypi-package-name> and import it per the component's docs to begin using it in your Streamlit app.
