streamlit-extras

What it is and what it does

streamlit-extras is a community-driven library that packages reusable UI components and utility functions designed to work with Streamlit. It fills gaps in Streamlit's standard widget set by offering pre-built extras that developers can import and use directly in their apps. The library depends on streamlit and plotly, and is distributed as a pure Python wheel with no compiled dependencies.

Developers use it to avoid reimplementing common UI patterns and interactive elements across multiple Streamlit projects. Each extra is a self-contained piece of code addressing a specific UI or utility need—like the stoggle component shown in the documentation, which creates a clickable toggle for revealing hidden content. The library is actively maintained and accepts community contributions via pull requests.

Use it for:

• Add interactive toggle components to reveal/hide content sections in Streamlit dashboards.
• Reuse pre-built UI patterns across multiple Streamlit applications without duplicating code.
• Extend Streamlit's visualization capabilities by combining extras with plotly charts.
• Build data exploration interfaces with custom utility functions from the extras collection.
• Contribute and share custom Streamlit components with the community via the library.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
