Hello World

The following sample PixieApp provides two simple views and their associated routes. The first view (default view) creates a button that, when clicked, will invoke the second view. The second view creates another button that redirects to the first view, and so on and so forth.

Hello World with Data

The following sample PixieApp simplifies the mechanics of loading and visualizing data. When run successfully, you’ll see a preview button appear in the same area as your Jupyter input cell. Clicking the button will display the data as a table.
