            ### 🚀 Getting Started
            
            1. **Add Components**: Drag items from the left sidebar onto the canvas
            2. **Connect Nodes**: Drag from the blue circle on the right of a node to the left circle of another
            3. **Edit Properties**: Click any node to see its editable properties on the right panel
            4. **Organize**: Drag nodes around to create a clean workflow layout
            5. **Delete**: Use the ✕ button on nodes or click the red circle on connections
            
            ### 🎯 Component Types
            
            - **📥 Inputs**: Text fields, file uploads, number inputs
            - **⚙️ Processing**: Language models, text processors, conditionals
            - **📤 Outputs**: Text displays, file exports, charts
            - **🔧 Tools**: API calls, data transformers, validators
            
            ### 💡 Pro Tips
            
            - **Collapsible Panels**: Use the arrow buttons to hide/show sidebars
            - **Live Updates**: Properties update in real-time as you edit
            - **Export Options**: Get JSON config for your workflow

WorkflowBuilder

Initialization

Parameters 
value: typing.Optional[typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]][
    typing.Dict[str, typing.Any][str, typing.Any], None
]
default = None

Default workflow data with nodes and edges

Additional component information

show_label: typing.Optional[bool][bool, None]

Whether to use container styling

scale: typing.Optional[int][int, None]
default = None

Relative width scale

min_width: int
default = 160

Minimum width in pixels

visible: bool
default = True

Whether component is visible

elem_id: typing.Optional[str][str, None]
default = None

    typing.List[str][str], None
]
default = None

CSS classes

render: bool
default = True

Events

Parameters 
change

Triggered when the value of the WorkflowBuilder changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See `.input()` for a listener that is only triggered by user input.

input

This listener is triggered when the user changes the value of the WorkflowBuilder.

User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

  • When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function.
  • When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function.

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.

def predict(
   value: typing.Dict[str, typing.Any][str, typing.Any]
) -> typing.Dict[str, typing.Any][str, typing.Any]:
   return value
