clista - CLI to STreamlit App

Create interactive web app from any CLI with streamlit

Status

Very early alpha version, tested only with hey.

Install

pip install clista

Why

There are different ways to do task "benchmark a website"

• Type the command to run it then copy the output and write to the report.
• Write a script to run the command 10 times then copy the output and write to the report.
• Learn Jupyter and run the command from there, plot statistics results, export the notebook as Playbook and use as report.
• Write a SPA to run the command with a micro-service backend and display the result (take 2 months, and 5 people).
• Write a streamlit app and let who give the task run themselves, as they need, generates report with fancy statistics result on-fly.

Use-cases

• Build one-time-used internal tool
• Build internal tool
• Build amazing tool (TODO later on this)

Usage

Example with hey

hey is a CLI HTTP load generator, like apache bench.

$ hey 2>&1 | clista
Wrote stapp.py, please copy and edit as needed then run streamlit run stapp.py
NOTE: rerun would overwrite stapp.py

$ streamlit run stapp.py

  You can now view your Streamlit app in your browser.

Open stapp.py, removes undesired options and run to bench itself:
