pip install spork

I created this module because I wanted a simple way to describe how to render pydantic models, especially when streaming in data to update a model. Wouldn't it be nice to see a visual display of the model as it's being updated?

To explore this space a bit, I've created a View and an AutoView. This lets you update fields and have them update within the notebook.

You can use existing pydantic models or create new ones by inheriting from AutoView:

from spork import AutoView
from pydantic import BaseModel

class Record(BaseModel):
    name: str
    age: int

class RecordView(Record, AutoView):
    def render(self):
        return f"<b>{self.name}</b> is {self.age} years old."


rv = RecordView(name="Kyle", age=35)
rv.display()

When using an AutoView, you can update the fields and the view will update wherever you ran .display()

rv.age = 101
