5
+ First release.
6
+
7
+ - `RowTable`: an editable table with add and remove row buttons, live computed outputs,
8
+ parameters, a summary line, update callbacks, and error messages in place of results.
9
+ - Columns: `ChoiceColumn`, `NumberColumn`, `TextColumn`, `OutputColumn`, and `NodeColumn` for
10
+ values between rows with editable boundary conditions.
11
+ - `Unit` / `UnitSystem`, with a toggle that changes what is displayed without touching stored
12
+ values.
13
+ - `TableResults`, with base and display values and `records()`.
14
+ - `LiveFigure` for matplotlib plots that follow the table; `side_by_side` layout helper.
15
+ - `ipyrowtable.examples.conduction`: steady conduction through a plane composite wall.
16
+ - Saving inputs between sessions: `persist=` and `persist_file=` on `RowTable` (and
17
+ `LayerStack`), with a Reset button, fallback to the initial values when the saved inputs
18
+ can't be used, and `IPYROWTABLE_PERSIST=off` to turn saving off everywhere.
19
+ - `get_inputs()` / `set_inputs()` and `reset()` on `RowTable`; `validate()` on input columns.

3
+ ## Setting up
4
+
5
+ ```bash
6
+ git clone <your fork> && cd ipyrowtable
7
+ python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # or: uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
8
+ pip install -e ".[dev]"
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ ## Tests
12
+
13
+ ```bash
14
+ pytest # the full fast suite, about 30 s
15
+ pytest --cov # with a coverage report
16
+ pytest -m "not notebooks" # skip executing the example notebooks
17
+ ```
18
+
19
+ The suite tests at several levels, from pure logic up to a real browser:
20
+
21
+ | Level | Files | What it checks |
22
+ |---|---|---|
23
+ | Logic | `test_units_and_formatting.py`, `test_columns.py` | unit conversions, number formatting, column widgets, header templates |
24
+ | Widget behavior | `test_table.py`, `test_units_toggle.py`, `test_results_and_errors.py`, `test_figure.py`, `test_persistence.py` | builds real widgets and drives them the way a user does (see below) |
25
+ | Invariants | `test_properties.py` | property-based tests (see below) |
26
+ | Physics | `test_conduction.py` | the conduction example against independent checks (see below) |
27
+ | Examples | `test_notebooks.py` | runs every notebook in `examples/` top to bottom in a fresh kernel |
28
+ | Browser | `tests/ui/` | renders the widgets in headless Chromium and uses the mouse and keyboard |
29
+
30
+ **Widget behavior.** These tests set `widget.value`, which is exactly what typing in a box
31
+ does, and call `button.click()`, which runs the same handlers as a mouse click. They then
32
+ check what the table shows and stores. No browser or kernel is needed.
33
+
34
+ **Invariants.** A hypothesis state machine plays random sequences of user actions: add and
35
+ remove rows, type thicknesses, pick materials, set boundaries, flip units, and start a "new
36
+ session" (a fresh table restoring the saved inputs). After every step it checks:
37
+
38
+ - the grid layout
39
+ - the stored values, against a simple model
40
+ - what is displayed
41
+ - the physics, against an independent nodal-balance solve
42
+
43
+ When a sequence fails, hypothesis shrinks it to the shortest one that still fails.
44
+
45
+ **Physics.** The conduction example is checked against things that don't share code with its
46
+ solver:
47
+
48
+ - Fourier's law for a single layer
49
+ - an independent linear-system solve
50
+ - symmetry when the stack is reversed
51
+ - NIST conversion constants
52
+
53
+ ### Browser tests
54
+
55
+ `tests/ui/` uses [pytest-ipywidgets](https://solara.dev/documentation/advanced/howto/testing)
56
+ (from the Solara project). The widgets live in the test process, a Solara server renders
57
+ them with the standard ipywidgets front end, and Playwright drives headless Chromium. These
58
+ tests cover what the others can't: that the table renders, and that clicks and keystrokes
59
+ reach Python and the results come back to the page.
60
+
61
+ ```bash
62
+ pip install -e ".[ui]"
63
+ playwright install chromium
64
+ pytest -m ui
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ They're excluded from the default run (`-m "not ui"` in `pyproject.toml`) because they need
68
+ a browser. The Solara server loads its front-end assets from cdn.jsdelivr.net, so they also
69
+ need network access.
70
+
71
+ ### What isn't covered automatically
72
+
73
+ The browser tests render through Solara's page, not JupyterLab's. Before a release, open the
74
+ three notebooks in JupyterLab (and in VS Code, if you support it) and click through them.
75
+ Check the column alignment, the units toggle, and that the plot sits beside the table and
76
+ wraps below it when the window is narrow.
77
+
78
+ ## Style
79
+
80
+ ```bash
81
+ ruff check .
82
+ ```
83
+
84
+ ## Releasing
85
+
86
+ 1. Update `__version__` in `src/ipyrowtable/__init__.py` and add a section to `CHANGELOG.md`.
87
+ 2. Build and check:
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ rm -rf dist && python -m build && twine check --strict dist/*
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ 3. Try the wheel in a clean environment:
94
+
95
+ ```bash
96
+ python -m venv /tmp/try && /tmp/try/bin/pip install "dist/ipyrowtable-*.whl[test]"
97
+ cd /tmp && /tmp/try/bin/python -m pytest <repo>/tests
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ 4. Publish:
101
+ - **TestPyPI first:** `twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*`, then
102
+ `pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ ipyrowtable` in a fresh environment.
103
+ - **Then PyPI**, either with `twine upload dist/*` or by publishing a GitHub release. The
104
+ release route runs `.github/workflows/publish.yml` using PyPI trusted publishing. To set
105
+ that up once, add the repository as a trusted publisher on PyPI, with workflow
106
+ `publish.yml` and environment `pypi`.
107
+
108
+ ### Before the first release
109
+
110
+ - In `pyproject.toml`, add your name to `authors` and fill in `[project.urls]`.
111
+ - PyPI can't show images by relative path. Change the screenshot link in `README.md` to an
112
+ absolute URL, such as `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<you>/ipyrowtable/main/docs/screenshot.png`.

+ # ipyrowtable
62
+
63
+ Editable [ipywidgets](https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io) tables for problems made of elements
64
+ in series: wall layers, pipe segments, cable runs, process stages. You describe the columns
65
+ and write a `compute` function; ipyrowtable gives a table where Jupyter users add and remove
66
+ rows, edit inputs, see computed results update immediately, and easily use the configured inputs
67
+ in downstream cells.
68
+
69
+ ![A layer table with an SI / Imperial toggle and a live temperature profile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jborlik/ipyrowtable/refs/heads/master/docs/screenshot.png)
70
+
71
+ What sets it apart from a general-purpose data grid:
72
+
73
+ - **Every cell is a real widget.** Dropdowns, number boxes and text boxes in the table itself,
74
+ with add and remove buttons per row.
75
+ - **Values between rows.** A `NodeColumn` holds the n + 1 values at the joints of n elements
76
+ (interface temperatures, joint pressures, node voltages), with editable boundary
77
+ conditions at either end.
78
+ - **Unit systems.** A toggle switches everything shown between, say, SI and Imperial. Values
79
+ are stored in your base units, so switching never changes the physics or drifts.
80
+ - **Live plots.** `LiveFigure` keeps a matplotlib figure in step with the table.
81
+ - **Saved between sessions.** A table can keep its inputs across kernel restarts, making it a
82
+ friendlier alternative to a hard-coded dict of inputs.
83
+
84
+ It suits small, carefully entered inputs: tens of rows, not thousands. For large data, use a
85
+ grid such as [ipydatagrid](https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipydatagrid) or Panel's
86
+ [Tabulator](https://panel.holoviz.org/reference/widgets/Tabulator.html).
87
+
88
+ ## Install
89
+
90
+ ```bash
91
+ pip install ipyrowtable # the table
92
+ pip install "ipyrowtable[plot]" # plus matplotlib, for LiveFigure and the conduction example
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ Needs Python 3.10+ and ipywidgets 8.1+. It uses only standard widgets, with no custom JavaScript,
96
+ so it works wherever ipywidgets does: JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, VS Code, Voilà.
97
+
98
+ ## Try it
99
+
100
+ A complete application ships with the package: steady conduction through a plane composite
101
+ wall, with an SI / Imperial toggle and a temperature-profile plot.
102
+
103
+ ```python
104
+ from ipyrowtable.examples.conduction import layer_stack_app
105
+
106
+ layer_stack_app(layers=[("Gypsum board", 12.7), ("Fiberglass insulation", 89), ("Brick", 90)],
107
+ T_top=21, T_bottom=-10)
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ ## Quick start
111
+
112
+ Voltage along a cable run. Each row is a segment; the voltage at each joint is computed from
113
+ the source voltage (an editable boundary value) and the load current (a parameter that
114
+ applies to the whole run).
115
+
116
+ ```python
117
+ import numpy as np
118
+ from ipyrowtable import ChoiceColumn, NodeColumn, NumberColumn, OutputColumn, RowTable
119
+
120
+ OHM_PER_M = {"14 AWG": 0.008286, "12 AWG": 0.005211, "10 AWG": 0.003277} # copper, 20 °C
121
+
122
+ def voltage_drop(inputs):
123
+ ohm_per_m = np.array([OHM_PER_M[g] for g in inputs.column("gauge")])
124
+ drop = 2 * inputs.params["current"] * ohm_per_m * inputs.column("length") # out and back
125
+ V_source = inputs.edges["voltage"][0]
126
+ return {"drop": drop, "voltage": V_source - np.concatenate(([0.0], np.cumsum(drop)))}
127
+
128
+ cable = RowTable(
129
+ columns=[
130
+ ChoiceColumn("gauge", "Wire", options=OHM_PER_M),
131
+ NumberColumn("length", "Length (m)", default=10.0, min=0),
132
+ OutputColumn("drop", "Drop (V)"),
133
+ NodeColumn("voltage", "Voltage (V)", inputs="first", first_default=120.0),
134
+ ],
135
+ compute=voltage_drop,
136
+ parameters=[NumberColumn("current", "Current (A)", default=15.0)],
137
+ leading_label="— source —",
138
+ item_name="segment",
139
+ )
140
+ cable
141
+ ```
142
+
143
+ `cable.results["voltage"]` holds the latest values, and `cable.results.records()` gives one
144
+ dict per row, ready for `pandas.DataFrame`.
145
+
146
+ ## Concepts
147
+
148
+ ### Columns
149
+
150
+ | Column | Kind | Per row |
151
+ |---|---|---|
152
+ | `ChoiceColumn` | input | a dropdown; options can carry data, like a material's conductivity |
153
+ | `NumberColumn` | input | a number, optionally unit-aware (`quantity=`) and bounded (`min=`, `max=`) |
154
+ | `TextColumn` | input | free text, such as a name or tag |
155
+ | `OutputColumn` | output | one computed value |
156
+ | `NodeColumn` | output | the value at the row's bottom or outlet face; the value at the top or inlet goes in a leading row |
157
+
158
+ Headers can include units: `"Thickness ({unit})"` shows the column's own unit, and
159
+ `"k in {conductivity}"` shows any other quantity's unit.
160
+
161
+ Input columns can also be **parameters**, shown above the table for values that apply to the
162
+ whole problem. To add a new input type, subclass `InputColumn` and implement `create_widget`.
163
+ The *03_extending* notebook adds a whole-number column this way.
164
+
165
+ ### Values between rows
166
+
167
+ A `NodeColumn` holds **n + 1** values for **n** rows. Use `inputs=` to say which ends are
168
+ editable:
169
+
170
+ - `("first", "last")` for both ends, like the two surface temperatures of a wall
171
+ - `"first"` for the inlet only, like a supply pressure
172
+ - `"last"` for the outlet only
173
+ - `()` for neither
174
+
175
+ Your compute function receives the boundary values as `inputs.edges[key]` and returns all
176
+ n + 1 values, including the ends.
177
+
178
+ ### Units
179
+
180
+ ```python
181
+ from ipyrowtable import Unit, UnitSystem
182
+
183
+ SI = UnitSystem("SI", {"length": Unit("mm", 1000.0), "temperature": Unit("°C")})
184
+ IMPERIAL = UnitSystem("Imperial", {"length": Unit("in", 1 / 0.0254),
185
+ "temperature": Unit("°F", 1.8, 32.0)})
186
+ ```
187
+
188
+ A `Unit` converts with `display = base × scale + offset`. Your compute function always works
189
+ in base units (metres and °C here). Pass `unit_systems=[SI, IMPERIAL]` to get a toggle.
190
+ Defaults can be given per system, such as `default={"SI": 10, "Imperial": 0.5}`, so new rows
191
+ start at round numbers in whichever units are showing.
192
+
193
+ ### The compute function and results
194
+
195
+ `compute(inputs)` receives:
196
+
197
+ - `inputs.rows`: a list of dicts, one per row
198
+ - `inputs.column(key)`: one column as an array
199
+ - `inputs.edges`: the NodeColumn boundary values
200
+ - `inputs.params`: the parameters
201
+
202
+ All of them are in base units. It returns `{column key: values}`, and any extra keys (totals,
203
+ fluxes) are kept too. If it raises `ValueError("message")`, the message appears in place of
204
+ the results.
205
+
206
+ After every change:
207
+
208
+ - `table.results[key]` gives values in base units, and `table.results.display(key)` gives
209
+ them in the units shown.
210
+ - `table.results.records()` gives one dict per row.
211
+ - `table.on_update(callback)` runs your code with the results, or with `None` while the
212
+ inputs are invalid.
213
+ - `table.error` says what went wrong, if anything did.
214
+
215
+ ### Saving inputs between sessions
216
+
217
+ ```python
218
+ cable = RowTable(..., rows=[...], persist="feeder")
219
+ ```
220
+
221
+ With a `persist` key, the table saves its inputs whenever they change and restores them when
222
+ a table with the same key is created again, for example after a kernel restart. The inputs
223
+ are the rows, boundary values, parameters, and the unit system that was showing.
224
+
225
+ `rows`, `edges`, `params` and `units` then become the *initial* values. They're used:
226
+
227
+ - when nothing has been saved yet;
228
+ - when the saved inputs can't be used, for example because an option no longer exists (the
229
+ table says why, and keeps the old file as a `.bak` copy before replacing it);
230
+ - by the **Reset** button, which asks for a second click first.
231
+
232
+ Where the inputs go:
233
+
234
+ - By default, into `<notebook name>.ipyrowtable.json` next to the notebook. If the notebook
235
+ can't be identified, they go into `ipyrowtable.json` in the working folder. The note under
236
+ the table names the file.
237
+ - `persist_file=` picks a different file. One file can hold many tables, each under its own
238
+ key.
239
+ - Values are stored as plain JSON in base units, so it doesn't matter which unit system was
240
+ showing.
241
+
242
+ They go in a file rather than the notebook's metadata because the kernel can't write
243
+ notebook metadata.
244
+
245
+ To always start from the initial values, leave out `persist`. The environment variable
246
+ `IPYROWTABLE_PERSIST=off` turns saving off for every table, which is useful for batch runs
247
+ that must start from known inputs. `table.get_inputs()` and `table.set_inputs(snapshot)` let
248
+ you keep and load snapshots yourself, such as several named designs.
249
+
250
+ ### Plots
251
+
252
+ ```python
253
+ from ipyrowtable import LiveFigure, side_by_side
254
+
255
+ def draw(fig, results):
256
+ ax = fig.add_subplot()
257
+ ax.plot(results["voltage"], marker="o")
258
+
259
+ side_by_side(cable, LiveFigure(cable, draw=draw))
260
+ ```
261
+
262
+ ### Styling
263
+
264
+ Every part carries a CSS class you can style:
265
+
266
+ - `ipyrowtable-grid`, `ipyrowtable-add`, `ipyrowtable-reset`, `ipyrowtable-message`,
267
+ `ipyrowtable-persist`
268
+ - `ipyrowtable-<key>` on each column's cells
269
+
270
+ ## Examples
271
+
272
+ The [`examples/`](examples) folder has four notebooks:
273
+
274
+ 1. **01_getting_started**: a first table, values between rows, a live plot, driving a table
275
+ from code.
276
+ 2. **02_plane_wall_conduction**: the conduction app: units, reading results, plugging in your
277
+ own solver.
278
+ 3. **03_extending**: pipes in series (Darcy–Weisbach). Covers your own unit systems, a custom
279
+ column type, parameters, `on_update`, and styling.
280
+ 4. **04_saving_inputs**: keeping a table's inputs between sessions: initial values, the
281
+ saved file, named snapshots, resetting, and turning saving off.
282

283
+ ## FAQ
284
+
285
+ ### In VS Code, a table shows "Failed to load model class …" instead of rendering
286
+
287
+ This can happen the first time a notebook runs in VS Code's Jupyter extension, when a table is
288
+ created in one cell and displayed in a later one. It comes from how VS Code loads its widget
289
+ support: widgets created before VS Code has finished loading it can fail to render. It isn't
290
+ caused by ipyrowtable, which uses only standard ipywidgets. Seen with the Jupyter extension
291
+ 2025.9.1 on Windows.
292
+
293
+ - **To fix it:** re-run the cell that creates the table, then the cell that displays it.
