Pretty-print objects passed to text

[LukasJoswiak]

When building a Preswald app, I often need to debug intermediate output of Python objects or arrays. Passing an array to the text function should print it similar to how Streamlit prints objects passed to st.write.

Goal:

arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]
text(arr)

<web app prints arr in an easy to read manner>

preswald/preswald/interfaces/components.py

Lines 208 to 222 in 7a29de6

	def text(markdown_str, size=1.0):
	"""Create a text/markdown component."""
	service = PreswaldService.get_instance()
	id = generate_id("text")
	logger.debug(f"Creating text component with id {id}")
	component = {
	"type": "text",
	"id": id,
	"markdown": markdown_str,
	"value": markdown_str,
	"size": size,
	}
	logger.debug(f"Created component: {component}")
	service.append_component(component)
	return component

You could probably use the pprint module here, something like:

if not isinstance(markdown_str, str):
    markdown_str = pprint.pformat(markdown_str, sort_dicts=False)
