How can I access user feedback in the main python script?

[benoitmiserez]

I'm just getting to know it but I already think Chainlit is awesome!

However, I would like to access the user feedback in the main python script for further analysis. I cannot find it in the documentation or issues. Data persistence is enabled and I can find the feedback in the Literal AI dashboard.

How can I access the feedback in the main python script?

Thanks!

Thank you!

1. You can access your data with the literal sdk
2. You can override the chainlit data layer

Thanks! Do you have an example of how to do this elegantly? I'm working on a langchain RAG application. Do I create a separate step for it? I'm not familiar with threads either.

What are you looking to achieve with the feedback exactly?

[benoitmiserez]

I want to use it to create canned answers. If the feedback is good, I want to store the question answer pair in my vector db.

I can add code to chainlit/data/init.py in order to create a custom data layer or to modify ChainlitDataLayer, but I suppose there's better ways to do this?

Worked around the issue. My current solution is:

• updated app.main() (@cl.on_message) to write question and answer to the local database with id attribute
• updated chainlit.server.update_feedback() to find the answer in the database with answer.id==update.feedback.forId (as mentioned here) and write update.feedback.value and update.feedback.comment to this record Thanks!

Awesome!
