Live demo

ParameterViewerSchema-oriented parameter documentation with secret redaction.

The preview is a local docs simulation (not a running Hedron server). Interactive demos show a “Simulated HTMX” trace when applicable.

Basic use

from hedron import ParameterViewer

component = ParameterViewer({'lr': 0.01, 'api_token': 'x'}, secret_keys=('api_token',))

Compose under Page for full documents, or return from a fragment route for HTMX swaps.

How it works

Phase 0.18 model-demo presentation. Redact secrets before rendering.

This component's core behavior is server-rendered HTML and does not require a browser runtime. The preview is ordinary semantic HTML, so keyboard, form, link, and disclosure behavior comes from the platform.

Constructor and parameters

ParameterViewer(parameters, *, title='Parameters', secret_keys=(), class_=None, mark=None)
Parameter Type Meaning
parameters Mapping[str, Any] Parameter map rendered as definition list entries.
secret_keys Sequence[str] Keys whose values are replaced with [redacted].
mark str | None Optional stable test mark (data-hedron-mark).

Composition and backend behavior

Keep ParameterViewer at the smallest semantic boundary. Fragment routes should return only the replaced region and preserve stable target IDs across success, validation, empty, loading, and error responses.

This component is primarily presentational; keep any mutation on an explicit action or component route.

Accessibility

Use readable key labels; redacted values must not leak secrets into markup.

Security

Escaping and SafeUrl / TrustedHtml are framework concerns; authorization and data exposure remain application code. Redact secrets before rendering.

Common mistakes

  • Never log or cache raw secret_keys values in examples or recorders.
  • Do not copy docs-preview JavaScript into an application server.

Testing

from hedron import RenderMode, render

result = render(component, mode=RenderMode.FRAGMENT)
assert result.html
assert not result.diagnostics
