Explore LHP Web¶

You’ve read the sample project’s YAML and generated its code from the terminal. Lakehouse Plumber also ships a local web IDE that shows the same project visually — the whole pipeline as a graph, each action as a form, and validate / generate running live in your browser. It’s optional, but it’s the fastest way to see what you just built.

Launch it¶

The web IDE is an optional extra. Install it and launch from inside the sample project:

pip install "lakehouse-plumber[webapp]"
lhp web

lhp web serves a browser workbench for this one project on 127.0.0.1 and opens your browser on a per-session URL. It reads the same pipelines/, substitutions/, and lhp.yaml you toured earlier — nothing new to configure.

See the whole project as a graph¶

The project map shows every pipeline as a dependency graph. For the sample, that’s the medallion flow you generated — ingest feeding silver feeding gold — laid out end to end, with run history below and validation on the right.

Open a flowgroup, edit an action¶

Open a flowgroup — say orders_clean — and it’s drawn as its action chain: the load, the four transforms, and the write, in the order they run.

Click any action to edit it in a form. Every field for that action type is laid out — source settings, options, target, operational metadata — and the IDE writes the YAML for you:

The action editor modal, showing source-type tabs and grouped connection, read-mode, advanced, and target fields for a single action. — The action editor: fill the fields, and the IDE writes the YAML.¶

Then generate from the browser — pick an environment, start a run, and watch the output stream, exactly as the CLI does it.

What you just saw¶

The web IDE is the same generator you ran from the terminal, wrapped in a visual workbench: a project graph, form-based action editing, and live runs. Some people author entirely in it; others dip in to see the shape of a project. Either way, the YAML and generated code are identical to what the CLI produces.
