Pages not dynamic enough (?)

[s4n-cz]

I am trying to figure out if Taipy is suitable for my use case and could use insight from somebody more experienced in this framework. I can map some of the functionality to Taipy quite nicely, but I am still struggling with the following part (greatly simplified):

The home page has table of items.

Clicking on a row (on_action event with navigate call) opens a new page which should provide the possibility to configure the selected item. Simplified item can look like this:

{
  "id": "TEST-1",
  "name": "Test 1",
  "targets": [
    {
      "category": "target_category_1",
      "name": "Web 1",
      "dst_ips": [],
      "src_ips": [],
    }
  ],
  "dates": [
    {
      "type": "date_category_1",
      "date": "01-Jan-2024"
    },
    {
      "type": "date_category_2",
      "date": {
        "start": "01-Jan-2024",
        "end": "10-Jan-2024"
      }
    },
  ],
  "people": [
    {
      "type": "person_category_1",
      "name": "Test Person",
      "email": "test@person.email",
    }
  ],
},

It should provide the possibility to change all the values, in case of lists also add or remove whole sections (e.g. in targets).

I tried several approaches and so far failed in all of them. The problem I am facing is that the pages in Taipy seem to be quite static - e.g. I don't know upfront how many targets there will be and also this dynamically changes with the user's interaction.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Would partials help you? It is a way to change a part of your page in real-time.

Here is an unrelated code to explain how partials can be used:

from taipy.gui import Gui 
import taipy.gui.builder as tgb 

value = 15
min_slider = 10    
max_slider = 200

def create_slider_partial(min_slider=10, max_slider=200):
    with tgb.Page() as new_slider:
        tgb.slider("{value}", min=min_slider, max=max_slider)
    return new_slider

def change_partial(state):
    state.slider_partial.update_content(state, create_slider_partial(state.min_slider, state.max_slider))

with tgb.Page() as main_page:
    tgb.text("Change the minimum:")
    tgb.number("{min_slider}", on_change=change_partial)

    tgb.text("Change the maximum:")
    tgb.number("{max_slider}", on_change=change_partial)


    tgb.text("Value of slider: {value}, minimum of slider: {min_slider}, maximum of slider: {max_slider}")
    tgb.part(partial="{slider_partial}")


gui = Gui(main_page)
slider_partial = gui.add_partial(create_slider_partial())
gui.run(port=2552)

This approach looks promising! I will confirm later if this solves my issue. Thanks @FlorianJacta

Edit: yes, this approach works.
