Generic

Result builders help you augment what is returned by the driver’s execute() function. Here are the generic ones.

class hamilton.base.ResultMixin[source]

Legacy result builder – see lifecycle methods for more information.

class hamilton.base.DictResult[source]

Simple function that returns the dict of column -> value results.

It returns the results as a dictionary, where the keys map to outputs requested, and values map to what was computed for those values.

Use this when you want to:

1. debug dataflows.
2. have heterogeneous return types.
3. Want to manually transform the result into something of your choosing.

from hamilton import base, driver

dict_builder = base.DictResult()
adapter = base.SimplePythonGraphAdapter(dict_builder)
dr = driver.Driver(config, *modules, adapter=adapter)
dict_result = dr.execute([...], inputs=...)

Note, if you just want the dict result + the SimplePythonGraphAdapter, you can use the DefaultAdapter

adapter = base.DefaultAdapter()

static build_result(**outputs: dict[str, Any]) → dict[source]

This function builds a simple dict of output -> computed values.

input_types() → list[type[type]] | None[source]

Gives the applicable types to this result builder. This is optional for backwards compatibility, but is recommended.

Returns:

A list of types that this can apply to.

output_type() → type[source]

Returns the output type of this result builder the type that this creates
