Guide of SecretFlow Components#

Get the Component List#

Python API#

You could check SecretFlow Component List by

from secretflow.component.entry import COMP_LIST

COMP_LIST is a CompListDef instance.

CLI#

Check Current SecretFlow Version#

$ secretflow -v
SecretFlow version 0.8.3b1.

List All Components#

$ secretflow component ls

Get Definition of Component(s)#

You must specify a component with the following format: domain/name:version.

e.g. Let’s check the component definition of PSI.

$ secretflow component inspect preprocessing/psi:0.0.1
You are inspecting definition of component with id [preprocessing/psi:0.0.1].

You could inspect all components at once by

$ secretflow component inspect -a
...

You may save the list to file by:

$ secretflow component inspect -a -f output.json
You are inspecting the compelete comp list.

Saved to output.json.

Evaluate a Node#

Python API#

In the following examples, we would demonstrate how to evaluate a node with Python API.

We are going to test PSI component with tiny datasets.

  1. Save the following bash script as generate_csv.sh

#!/bin/bash

set -e
show_help() {
    echo "Usage: bash generate_csv.sh -c {col_name} -p {file_name}"
    echo "  -c"
    echo "          the column name of id."
    echo "  -p"
    echo "          the path of output csv."
}
if [[ "$#" -lt 1 ]]; then
    show_help
    exit
fi

while getopts ":c:p:" OPTION; do
    case $OPTION in
    c)
        COL_NAME=$OPTARG
        ;;
    p)
        FILE_PATH=$OPTARG
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Incorrect options provided"
        exit 1
        ;;
    esac
done


# header
echo $COL_NAME > $FILE_PATH

# generate 800 random int
for ((i=0; i<800; i++))
do
# from 0 to 1000
id=$(shuf -i 0-1000 -n 1)

# check duplicates
while grep -q "^$id$" $FILE_PATH
do
    id=$(shuf -i 0-1000 -n 1)
done

# write
echo "$id" >> $FILE_PATH
done

echo "Generated csv file is $FILE_PATH."

Then generate input for two parties.

mkdir -p /tmp/alice
sh generate_csv.sh -c id1 -p /tmp/alice/input.csv

mkdir -p /tmp/bob
sh generate_csv.sh -c id2 -p /tmp/bob/input.csv

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run()
  1. In two separate terminals, run

You should see the following output at both terminals:

Node eval res is
outputs {
  name: "output.csv"
  type: "sf.table.vertical_table"
  system_info {
  }
  meta {
    type_url: "type.googleapis.com/secretflow.spec.v1.VerticalTable"
    value: "\n\n\n\003id1\"\003str\n\n\n\003id2\"\003str\020\211\005"
  }
  data_refs {
    uri: "output.csv"
    party: "alice"
    format: "csv"
  }
  data_refs {
    uri: "output.csv"
    party: "bob"
    format: "csv"
  }
}
  1. Check result at /tmp/alice/output.csv and /tmp/bob/output.csv. The content of two files should be same except the header.

CLI#

You could also use SecretFlow CLI to evaluate a node.

$ secretflow component run --log_file={log_file} --result_file={result_file_path} --eval_param={encoded_eval_param} --storage={encoded_storage_config} --cluster={encoded_cluster_def}
  • log_file: log file path.

  • result_file: result file path.

  • eval_param: base64-encoded NodeEvalParam prototext.

  • storage: base64-encoded StorageConfig prototext.

  • cluster: base64-encoded SFClusterConfig prototext.

Since you need to encode prototext to use CLI, we don’t expect you to use SecretFlow CLI for node evaluation.

Create a Component#

Python API#

If you want to create a new component in SecretFlow, you may check one of simplest component: secretflow/component/preprocessing/train_test_split.py

The brief steps to build a SecretFlow Component are:

  1. Create a new file under secretflow/component/ .

  2. Create a Component class with secretflow.component.component.Component:

from secretflow.component.component import Component

train_test_split_comp = Component(
    "train_test_split",
    domain="preprocessing",
    version="0.0.1",
    desc="""Split datasets into random train and test subsets.
    Please check: https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split.html
    """,
)
  1. Declare attributes and IO.

from secretflow.component.component import IoType
from secretflow.component.data_utils import DistDataType

train_test_split_comp.float_attr(
    name="train_size",
    desc="Proportion of the dataset to include in the train subset.",
    is_list=False,
    is_optional=True,
    default_value=0.75,
    allowed_values=None,
    lower_bound=0.0,
    upper_bound=1.0,
    lower_bound_inclusive=True,
    upper_bound_inclusive=True,
)
train_test_split_comp.float_attr(
    name="test_size",
    desc="Proportion of the dataset to include in the test subset.",
    is_list=False,
    is_optional=True,
    default_value=0.25,
    allowed_values=None,
    lower_bound=0.0,
    upper_bound=1.0,
    lower_bound_inclusive=True,
    upper_bound_inclusive=True,
)
train_test_split_comp.int_attr(
    name="random_state",
    desc="Specify the random seed of the shuffling.",
    is_list=False,
    is_optional=True,
    default_value=1234,
)
train_test_split_comp.bool_attr(
    name="shuffle",
    desc="Whether to shuffle the data before splitting.",
    is_list=False,
    is_optional=True,
    default_value=True,
)
train_test_split_comp.io(
    io_type=IoType.INPUT,
    name="input_data",
    desc="Input dataset.",
    types=[DistDataType.VERTICAL_TABLE],
    col_params=None,
)
train_test_split_comp.io(
    io_type=IoType.OUTPUT,
    name="train",
    desc="Output train dataset.",
    types=[DistDataType.VERTICAL_TABLE],
    col_params=None,
)
train_test_split_comp.io(
    io_type=IoType.OUTPUT,
    name="test",
    desc="Output test dataset.",
    types=[DistDataType.VERTICAL_TABLE],
    col_params=None,
)
  1. Declare evaluation function.

from secretflow.spec.v1.data_pb2 import DistData

# Signature of eval_fn must be
#  func(*, ctx, attr_0, attr_1, ..., input_0, input_1, ..., output_0, output_1, ...) -> typing.Dict[str, DistData]
# All the arguments are keyword-only, so orders don't matter.
@train_test_split_comp.eval_fn
def train_test_split_eval_fn(
    *, ctx, train_size, test_size, random_state, shuffle, input_data, train, test
):
    # Please check more examples to learn component utils.
    # ctx includes some parsed cluster def and other useful meta.

    # The output of eval_fn is a map of DistDatas of which keys are output names.
    return {"train": DistData(), "test": DistData()}
  1. Put your new component in ALL_COMPONENTS of secretflow.component.entry .
