Didn't want to click on refresh to see updates, this is what I did!

What?

More "For What?" 😆... it's related to last weekend and I missed the in place of requests library

Problems I encountered

Before I mention things I came across, NiceGUI is really nice to use, docs are adequate and certainly enough demos and examples to get you going.

Main issue I came across was the "" to call the function to pull a GET request. I set it to every 1 minute as I am impatient, will increase this at some point.

The out kept getting appended instead of being overwritten or refreshed. 🤔

After a number of trial and errors, I found I could use a decorator called @ui.refreshable on the function I'm called to set the text on the labels. And yes, I created 2 label objects as I wanted to see the number of people who registered for the event and the number of tickets registered. 🙌

ℹ️ The former could have registered for a team of 5, so that is why the number is smaller than the latter.

Anyway, as this was a teeny side project, there wasn't many big problems I encountered! Which is good news! 😆

Mick mentioned repl.it which I forgot about and I'm am still paying for its subscription; I was meaning to use it for writing content for coding workshops but I just didn't have the time, and many moons have passed.

This was my opportunity and I logged in and wow, things have improved loads, UIs certainly looked nicer.

So created a new Python replit, and realised they don't use .env and instead use secrets:

Now I can just have that open or check the status on my phone. 😎

You can check it out, it's not really style in any fancy, just the 2 bits of info I needed: , I'm still a big fan of it. 🥰
