🧶 Priceloop NoCode Python Custom Functions Templates

You can create your own functions and then call them inside our NoCode table, just like a built-in function. Here are some easy examples that you can use to write your own functions. Some of them are also deployed on our platform.

Getting Started

Let's start with creating a Python environment first. You can use virtualenv or conda to do this. At the moment, we only support Python 3.8 due to the pre-built lambda layer:

conda create -n my_example python=3.8
source activate my_example

The easiest way to deploy our custom functions is via our cli:

npm install -g @priceloop/cli

Once you installed it, let’s login and then create the function via the CLI:

priceloop login-credentials --username "nocode_username" --password "nocode_password"
priceloop create-external-function --function "my_example" --runtime "python" --return-type "string" --parameter-types "string"

Finally, we need update the function:

priceloop update-external-function --function "my_example" --directory "hello_world"

After these steps, your new function will be available inside the specified workspace in NoCode.

Go to the app and type a new formula: \my_example('World'). It should return “Hello World”.

More information on how to deploy it to our platform please also go to our documentation.

Testing

To test locally please install python-lambda-local:

pip install python-lambda-local
