# streamlit-extras — A community-driven collection of useful Streamlit components and utilities that extend Streamlit's functionality.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 496.1K/mo

## 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 above — verify before relying.

Provides a collection of reusable UI components and utilities that extend Streamlit's built-in functionality for building interactive web applications.

Yes. Low installation friction, active maintenance, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and a straightforward dependency tree (streamlit + plotly) make this a safe addition to Streamlit projects. Install it if you regularly build Streamlit apps and want to avoid reinventing common UI patterns.

## Install

pip install streamlit-extras
uv add streamlit-extras
poetry add streamlit-extras

## Installing streamlit-extras

Before you install: Low friction installation as a pure Python wheel. Actively maintained with recent commits and a moderate community presence (972 stars). Last release was 91 days ago.

License in practice: Apache-2.0 permissive license allows commercial and private use with minimal restrictions, making it safe to incorporate into most projects.

Quickstart:

pip install streamlit-extras

from streamlit_extras.stoggle import stoggle

stoggle(
    "Click me!",
    """🥷 Surprise! Here's some additional content""",
)

Requires Python >=3.10 and streamlit as a runtime dependency.

Verify before relying:

- Whether all extras are documented and discoverable in the referenced documentation.
- Performance characteristics when using multiple extras in a single Streamlit app.
- Compatibility with specific Streamlit versions beyond the current release.
