    name="Animal",
    value_type=sly.TagValueType.ANY_STRING,
    color=[255, 0, 0]

## Mini App Example

You can find this example in our Github repository:

[supervisely-ecosystem/ui-widgets-demos/media/013\_tag\_meta\_view/src/main.py](https://github.com/supervisely-ecosystem/ui-widgets-demos/blob/master/media/013_tag_meta_view/src/main.py)

### Import libraries

```python
import os

import supervisely as sly
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from supervisely.app.widgets import Card, Container, Field, TagMetaView, ProjectThumbnail
```

### Init API client

First, we load environment variables with credentials and init API for communicating with Supervisely Instance:

```python
load_dotenv("local.env")
load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))

api = sly.Api()
```

### Initialize `Project ID` we will use

```python
project_id = sly.env.project_id()
```

### Get Project info and meta from server

```python
project_info = api.project.get_info_by_id(id=project_id)
project_meta = api.project.get_meta(id=project_id)
project_meta = sly.ProjectMeta.from_json(project_meta)
```

### Prepare `TagMeta` for each tag in project

Get TagMetas from project meta

```python
tag_metas = project_meta.tag_metas
```

### Initialize `TagMetaView` widget

In this tutorial we will create list of `TagMetaView` objects for each tag in project.

```python
tag_meta_view = [
    TagMetaView(
        tag_meta=tag_meta,
        show_type_text=True,
        limit_long_names=False,
    )
    for tag_meta in tag_metas
]
```

### Create app layout

Prepare a layout for app using `Card`, `Field` widgets with the `content` parameter and place widgets that we've just created in the `Container` widget.

```python
tag_metas_container = Container(widgets=tag_meta_view)
tag_metas_field = Field(
    content=tag_metas_container,
    title="Project tags:",
)

# create widget ProjectThumbnail
project_thumbnail = ProjectThumbnail(project_info)

card = Card(
    title="TagMetaView",
    content=Container(widgets=[project_thumbnail, tag_metas_field]),
)
layout = Container(widgets=[card])
```

### Create app using layout

Create an app object with layout parameter.

```python
app = sly.Application(layout=layout)
```
