batch

batch(**elements: UIElement[JSONType, object]) -> batch

Convert an HTML object with templated text into a UI element.

This method lets you create custom UI elements that are represented by arbitrary HTML.

Example.

user_info = mo.md(
    '''
    - What's your name?: {name}
    - When were you born?: {birthday}
    '''
).batch(name=mo.ui.text(), birthday=mo.ui.date())

In this example, user_info is a UI Element whose output is markdown and whose value is a dict with keys 'name' and 'birthday' (and values equal to the values of their corresponding elements).

Args.

• elements: the UI elements to interpolate into the HTML template.

callout

callout(
    kind: Literal[
        "neutral", "danger", "warn", "success", "info"
    ] = "neutral"
) -> Html

Create a callout containing this HTML element.

A callout wraps your HTML element in a raised box, emphasizing its importance. You can style the callout for different situations with the kind argument.

Examples.

mo.md("Hooray, you did it!").callout(kind="success")

mo.md("It's dangerous to go alone!").callout(kind="warn")

center

form

form(
    label: str = "",
    *,
    bordered: bool = True,
    loading: bool = False,
    submit_button_label: str = "Submit",
    submit_button_tooltip: Optional[str] = None,
    submit_button_disabled: bool = False,
    clear_on_submit: bool = False,
    show_clear_button: bool = False,
    clear_button_label: str = "Clear",
    clear_button_tooltip: Optional[str] = None,
    validate: Optional[
        Callable[[Optional[JSONType]], Optional[str]]
    ] = None,
    on_change: Optional[
        Callable[[Optional[T]], None]
    ] = None
) -> form[S, T]

Create a submittable form out of this UIElement.

Use this method to create a form that gates the submission of a UIElements value until a submit button is clicked.

The value of the form is the value of the underlying element the last time the form was submitted.

Examples.

Convert any UIElement into a form:

prompt = mo.ui.text_area().form()

Combine with HTML.batch to create a form made out of multiple UIElements:

form = (
    mo.ui.md(
        '''
    **Enter your prompt.**

    {prompt}

    **Choose a random seed.**

    {seed}
    '''
    )
    .batch(
        prompt=mo.ui.text_area(),
        seed=mo.ui.number(),
    )
    .form()
)

Args.
