Component Library

Windmill provides a set of components that can be used to build apps.

The app components library is located on the right-hand side of the app editor. It displays the app components and allows you to configure them.

The list of components is constantly growing according to our users' expectations. If you feel like a new component would be useful, please reach out to us.

Even though the list of components is never as up to date as on Windmill Cloud, here is the list of the available components:

Components properties

Components can be configured in two ways:

Inputs: inputs can be connected to an output or computed using a runnable.
- e.g. Table component has an input that can be connected to an output or computed using a runnable, which is an array of objects.
Configuration: configure property such as the button label, the text input placeholder, etc.
- e.g. Table component has a configuration property that allows you to configure the search bar: Client-side search, Server-side search, or no search.

Component outputs

Runnable: some component can trigger a runnable when an event occurs, usually when a user interacts with the component. The result of the runnable is stored in the component output in the key result. It also stores the loading state of the component.
- e.g. Button component can trigger a runnable when clicked.
Own outputs: some component have outputs defined by the component.
- e.g. Table component has a selectedRow output
