Modules - Niblet Docs

Load only the modules your app needs. Niblet includes modules built for the display runtime plus a selected set compatible with Starlib.

Niblet modules

Module	Purpose
`render.star`	Compose frames with widgets
`schema.star`	Define app settings
`animation.star`	Keyframes and transformations
`http.star`	Request external data with cache lifetimes
`cache.star`	Reuse short-lived values between renders
`time.star`	Parse, format, and convert time
`secret.star`	Access approved protected values during hosted rendering
`humanize.star`	Format compact human-readable values
`sunrise.star`	Calculate sunrise and sunset
`qrcode.star`	Generate compact QR codes

Parse and transform data

The bundled data helpers cover JSON, CSV, Base64, gzip and ZIP decoding, hashes, HMAC, regular expressions, HTML parsing, XPath, mathematics, and random values.

load("encoding/json.star", "json")
load("http.star", "http")

response = http.get("https://example.com/data.json", ttl_seconds = 300)
data = json.decode(response.body())

An app may have less access during hosted rendering than in a local preview. Do not depend on local files, local processes, or private-network services.
