Display View

Experimental

The Workbench View classes are currently in experimental mode so have fun but expect issues and API changes going forward.

Note: This class will be used in the future to fine tune what columns get displayed. For now just use the DataSource/FeatureSet set_computation_columns() DataSource or FeatureSet

DisplayView Class: Create a View with a subset of columns for display purposes

Common Usage

# Create a default DisplayView
fs = FeatureSet("test_features")
display_view = DisplayView.create(fs)
df = display_view.pull_dataframe()

# Create a DisplayView with a specific set of columns
display_view = DisplayView.create(fs, column_list=["my_col1", "my_col2"])

# Query the view
df = display_view.query(f"SELECT * FROM {display_view.table} where awesome = 'yes'")
