pynecone cannot get detail information from item in the cards example (grid + foreach)

This is our expected output.

And this is the current output.

And this is the source code for the current output.

import pynecone as pc

def show_items(item):
    return pc.box(
        pc.text(item),
        bg="lightgreen"
    )


class ExampleState(pc.State):
    my_objects = [["item1", "desc1"], ["item2", "desc2"]]
    print(my_objects)


def home():
    homeContainer = pc.container(
        pc.hstack(
            pc.container(
                # watch list
                pc.vstack(
                    pc.container(h="20px"),
                    pc.hstack(
                        pc.heading("Example List", size="md"),
                    ),
                    pc.grid(
                        pc.foreach(ExampleState.my_objects, show_items),
                        template_columns="repeat(5, 1fr)",
                        h="20vh",
                        width="100%",
                        gap=4,
                    ),
                    justifyContent="start",
                    align_items="start",
                ),
                height="100vh",
                maxWidth="auto",
            ),

            bg="#e8e5dc",
        ),
    )

    return homeContainer


app = pc.App(state=ExampleState)
app.add_page(home, route="/")
app.compile()

In this example, we cannot make our expected output. In the above example, if we change the code from

pc.text(item)

to

pc.text(item[0])

, then we will get the following error message

We also read the document related to pc.grid and pc.foreach.

And still have no idea how to fix this issue from the two documents.

So, what can we do if we want to get detailed information from the item and show it on the layout?

The key point is that the pc.foreach cannot use something like list[list] or list[dict].
The following code can answer our question.
It run well and fit the expected output. After testing,
It runs well on pynecone==0.1.20 and pynecone==0.1.21

import pynecone as pc
class MyObject(pc.Model, table=True):
    title:str 
    desc:str
    def __init__(self, title, desc):
        self.title = title
        self.desc = desc
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return "("+self.title+","+self.desc+")"
 
def show_object(object:MyObject):
    return pc.box(
        pc.vstack(
            pc.hstack(
                pc.text(
                    "title:",
                    font_size="1em",
                ),
                pc.text(
                    object.title,
                    font_size="1em",
                ),
            ),
            pc.hstack(
                pc.text(
                    "desc:",
                    font_size="1em",
                ),
                pc.text(
                    object.desc,
                    font_size="1em",
                ),
            ),
        ),
        bg="lightgreen"
    )


class ExampleState(pc.State):
    # my_objects = [{"item":"item1", "desc":"desc1"}, {"item":"item2", "desc":"desc2"}]
    """
    my_objects:list[MyObject] = [
        MyObject("title1", "desc1"),
        MyObject("title2", "desc2"),
    ]
    """
    # generate objects by loop 
    my_objects:list[MyObject] = [ MyObject("title"+str(i), "desc"+str(i)) for i in range(37)]
    


def home():
    homeContainer = pc.container(
        pc.hstack(
            pc.container(
                # watch list
                pc.vstack(
                    pc.container(h="20px"),
                    pc.hstack(
                        pc.heading("Example List", size="md"),
                    ),
                    pc.grid(
                        #pc.foreach(ExampleState.my_objects, show_items),
                        pc.foreach(ExampleState.my_objects, show_object),
                        template_columns="repeat(5, 1fr)",
                        h="20vh",
                        width="100%",
                        gap=4,
                    ),
                    justifyContent="start",
                    align_items="start",
                ),
                height="100vh",
                maxWidth="auto",
            ),

            bg="#e8e5dc",
        ),
    )
    return homeContainer

app = pc.App(state=ExampleState)
app.add_page(home, route="/")
app.compile()

The following is our expected output.

The solution is we need to create a class.

class MyObject(pc.Model, table=True):
    title:str 
    desc:str
    def __init__(self, title, desc):
        self.title = title
        self.desc = desc
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return "("+self.title+","+self.desc+")"

And we show the layout by show_object

def show_object(object:MyObject):

In the show_object function, we get detailed information
about the item by getting the member from the object.
