💨 Getting Started
Fondant allows you to easily define workflows comprised of both reusable and custom components. The following example uses the reusable load_from_hf_hub component to load a dataset from the Hugging Face Hub and process it using a custom component that will resize the images resulting in a new dataset.
import pyarrow as pa
from fondant.dataset import Dataset
