Yee · Answer

there s an informal one that I use but it s more of an internal utilty for us

Yee · Answer

wait what do you mean by literal parser

Yee · Answer

sorry i was referring to parsing protobufs

Dylan Wilder · Answer

yea i just want something that produces a user friendly json minus the literal wrappers

Dylan Wilder · Answer

if you can just point us to code that s cool too

Dylan Wilder · Answer

and we can reproduce

Dylan Wilder · Answer

as long as it s not go smile

Yee · Answer

and you can take a peek at the code it s not much

Yee · Answer

<https github com flyteorg flytekit blob 46160bb73d6ac22281202ab0c7094416b727869a flytekit clis flyte cli main py L617 L619|this> is all it does

Yee · Answer

it s dumb because you have to know what type of protobuf you have

Dylan Wilder · Answer

Ah but this containers the literal types like primitive stringvalue etc

Yee · Answer

oh you want a normal representation

Yee · Answer

there s nothing for that short of converting them into pure python native values but that s complicated

Dylan Wilder · Answer

Yea literally what appears in flyte console

Yee · Answer

unf that s probably done in js ts only

Yee · Answer

can ask nastya if you d like

Dylan Wilder · Answer

That s fine Just need the example

Yee · Answer

the code that does this

Dylan Wilder · Answer

Yes

Yee · Answer

< Nastya Rusina> or < Carina Ursu> can you point us to the JS TS code that prettifies the flyte literal values so that you don t get Literal Scalar Primitive

Nastya Rusina · Answer

Carina could be a better person to check with as she is literally makes it better right now

Carina Ursu · Answer

< Dylan Wilder> our existing code is processing the json directly into ui you can look here as an entry point The current change in progress would simplify the structure and then display it in the UI as raw json entrypoint through transformLiteralMap
