streamlit-faker is a Python library designed to easily fake Streamlit commands. It allows developers to quickly draft a user interface or use it as a QA tool by generating random parameters for Streamlit functions, streamlining the prototyping process. It is built upon the popular `faker` project. The current version is 0.0.4, and it has an active, though not rapid, release cadence.
pip install streamlit-fakerVerified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.
This quickstart demonstrates how to instantiate `streamlit-faker` and use it to render various Streamlit UI elements with randomly generated content. Run this script with `streamlit run your_app.py`.
Use for initial layout and visual feedback. For robust testing or complex logic, implement actual Streamlit components with specific test data or a dedicated testing framework.
Carefully review and explicitly define `key` arguments for stateful widgets and manage application state via `st.session_state` when replacing `streamlit-faker` calls with actual Streamlit API calls.
Upgrade to v0.0.4 or later. Ensure your application does not directly or indirectly depend on `streamlit-extras` features that might have been implicitly provided by older `streamlit-faker` versions.
Run `pip install streamlit-faker` to install the library.
Verify the Streamlit command name against the official Streamlit documentation. `streamlit-faker` aims to support common Streamlit commands but might not cover all edge cases or newly introduced APIs immediately.
