Tag filter

[spirali]

Filtering in left panel by one or more tags

Partially solves: #37

@spirali here is what those damn users do :cold_sweat: (in this case, it was me)

I wanted to just tag-ify my whole hydra config, so I could easily filter by different hyperparam settings. This produces a lot of tags which ends up not looking so nice. just wanted to share so you're aware of how this might end up being used

still very nice to have this functionality in the first place, though!

@spirali one thing which might make a difference UX-wise would be to distinguish between

• tags which differentiate between different root contexts (those are actually useful for filtering and should be visually prominent) and
• tags which are the same across all root contexts (those are not useful for filtering and could be hidden or visually attenuated)

At first sight it seems to me that you are abusing tags for something that should be in inputs. We probably need filtering based on inputs. On the other way, I am also thinking about something like (in Python API):

  # This exists and show full storage in Data browser
  storage.display() 

  # My proposal: Shows only filtered values in Data browser, 
  # it also registers new or running contexts but only if it passes the filter
  storage.filter(lambda ctx: ctx.inputs["rounds"] == 2).display()

agree that this is probably abuse of tags. it really just bc it's the only filtering we have right now :grimacing:

[jas-ho]

the Python solution looks fairly general but it would be great to have filtering in the front-end (imagine a use-case where you open a large number of dialogues for inspection by the public using a hosted version of the context browser)

I am now working on documentation. But I will try to implement some more advanced filtering in the end of the week. I was actually also bitten but overwhelmingly many contexts :)
