How to make your own widget

Guide explains how to create and add your own widget to Supervisely SDK

In this tutorial you will learn how to create your own widget, add it to Supervisely SDK and make small demo.

How to create your own widget

1. Clone SDK repo:

   git clone https://github.com/supervisely/supervisely

2. Clone repo with widgets samples:

   git clone https://github.com/supervisely-ecosystem/ui-widgets-demos

3. Create SDK folder symlink in ui-widgets-demos

   ln -s ./supervisely/supervisely ./ui-widgets-demos/supervisely

4. Create folder in supervisely/app/widgets/<your_widget_folder> like that

   your_widget_folder
   |____ __init__.py
   |____ template.html
   |____ script.js   # optional: you can add javascript file
   |____ your_widget.py

5. Declare a new class with inheritance from Widget in your_widget.py

   from supervisely.app.widgets import Widget
   from supervisely.app.content import StateJson, DataJson 
   
   
   class YourWidget(Widget):
       # ------ Required methods ------
       def __init__(
               self,
               data_1: list 
               data_2: dict 
           ):
           self._data_1 = data_1
           self._data_2 = data_2
           self._some_state_attribute_1 = True 
           self._some_state_attribute_2 = 42 
   
           super(YourWidget, self).__init__(widget_id=widget_id, file_path=__file__)
   
           # ------ Optional | Add your javascript file ------
           # script_path = "./sly/css/app/widgets/your_widget_folder/script.js" # change <your_widget_folder> 
           # JinjaWidgets().context["__widget_scripts__"][self.__class__.__name__] = script_path
   
       def get_json_data(self):
           """ This method will be used in template.html to get widget data """
           return {
               "data_1": self._data_1,
               "data_2": self._data_2,
           } 
   
       def get_json_state(self):
           """ This method will be used in template.html to get widget state """
           return {
               "some_state_attribute_1": self._some_state_attribute_1,
               "some_state_attribute_2": self._some_state_attribute_2,
           } 
   
       # ------ Optional methods | Just for example ------
       def your_method_for_change_data(self):
           # make changes in widget data
           self._data_1 = self._data_1 + [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
           self._data_2 = {'a': 11}
           # save this changes of widget data in local storage(RAM) 
           DataJson()[self.widget_id]['data_1'] = self._data_1
           DataJson()[self.widget_id]['data_2'] = self._data_2
           # sync this changes to remote server 
           DataJson().send_changes()
       
       def your_method_for_change_state(self):
           # change state attribute
           self._some_state_attribute_1 = False
           self._some_state_attribute_2 = 0.1
           # save this changes of widget data in local storage(RAM) 
           StateJson()[self.widget_id]["some_state_attribute_1"] = self._some_state_attribute_1
           StateJson()[self.widget_id]["some_state_attribute_2"] = self._some_state_attribute_2
           # sync this changes to remote server 
           StateJson().send_changes()

6. Construct template.html for your widget using other widgets from SDK or any HTML elements

   <div>
       <!-- Elements from SDK had the "sly" prefix -->
       <sly-field :title="data.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.data_1" :description="state.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.some_state_attribute_1">
           <div>
               {{data.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.data_2}}
           </div>
           <div>
               {{state.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.some_state_attribute_2}}
           </div>
       </sly-field>
       
       <!-- Just simple HTML element with Javascript function from your scipt.js -->
       <button
           :value="data.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.data_1"
           @click="myFunction()" 
       ></button>
   
       <!-- Also simple HTML element, but from UI library of HTML elements - https://element.eleme.io -->
       <el-button :value="data.{{{widget.widget_id}}}.data_1"></el-button>
   <div>

7. (Optional) Prepare file script.js for your widget if you need to implement your own Vue JS component. 📗 See this example for more details.

   const myFunction = function (name) {
       console.log('Hello world')
   }

8. Import new widget as part of widgets module. Just add import in supervisely/app/widgets/__init__.py

   # imports for other widgets as example
   from supervisely.app.widgets.radio_tabs.radio_tabs import RadioTabs
   from supervisely.app.widgets.train_val_splits.train_val_splits import TrainValSplits
   from supervisely.app.widgets.editor.editor import Editor
   
   # import for your widget
   from supervisely.app.widgets.your_widget_folder.your_widget_py_file import YourWidgetClass

9. Create folder with example of your widget in ui-widgets-demos/NEW widgets/<your_widget_example_folder> like that

   your_widget_folder
   |____src
     |____main.py

   Example of main.py

   import os
   import supervisely as sly
   from dotenv import load_dotenv
   from supervisely.app.widgets import (
       Card, 
       YourWidget #  <-- import your widget
       )
   
   load_dotenv("local.env")
   load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))
   
   api = sly.Api()
   
   your_widget = YourWidget(data_1=[...], data_2={'c': 0.3355})
   card = Card(title="My card", content=your_widget)
   app = sly.Application(layout=card)

10. To see the demo of your widget, you need to run the server. You got 2 options for that:

    a) Just run the server from command line

    python -m uvicorn "NEW widgets.grid_plot.src.main:app" --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --ws websockets --reload

    b) If you are VSCode user, then just edit ui-widgets-demos/.vscode/launch.json as showed below and run the server from "run & debug" menu

    {
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "configurations": [
            {
                "name": "Uvicorn",
                "type": "python",
                "request": "launch",
                "module": "uvicorn",
                "args": [
                    <!-- change "your_widget_example_folder" to the name of the folder with your widget -->
                    "NEW widgets.your_widget_example_folder.src.main:app",
                    "--host",
                    "0.0.0.0",
                    "--port",
                    "8000",
                    "--ws",
                    "websockets",
                    "--reload"
                ],
                "jinja": true,
                "justMyCode": true,
                "env": {
                    "PYTHONPATH": "${workspaceFolder}:${PYTHONPATH}",
                    "LOG_LEVEL": "DEBUG",
                }
            }
        ]
    }

11. After all steps, test your widget in browser http://0.0.0.0:8000 and if it ok make a commit & push & create the pull request in both repo(SDK and ui-widget-demos).

    Send the link to pull-request to Maxim Kolomeychenko(@Max) in Slack. He will run a new SDK build.

    Success!

Simple widget example

    def __init__(
        self,

        placeholder: str = "Please input",
        rows: int = 2,
        autosize: bool = True,

        StateJson().send_changes()

    def enable_readonly(self):
