marimo.ui.file

file(
    filetypes: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None,
    multiple: bool = False,
    kind: Literal["button", "area"] = "button",
    *,
    label: str = "",
    on_change: Optional[
        Callable[[Sequence[FileUploadResults]], None]
    ] = None
)

Bases: UIElement[List[Tuple[str, str]], Sequence[FileUploadResults]]

A button or drag-and-drop area to upload a file.

Once a file is uploaded, the UI element's value is a list of namedtuples (name, contents), where name is the filename and contents is the contents of the file. Alternatively, use the methods name(index: int = 0) and contents(index: int = 0) to retrieve the name or contents of the file at a specified index.

Use the kind argument to switch between a button and a drag-and-drop area.

The maximum file size is 100MB.

Examples:

Uploading a single file:

f = mo.ui.file()

# access the uploaded file's name
f.value[0].name
# or
f.name()

# access the uploaded file's contents
f.value[0].contents
# or
f.contents()

Uploading multiple files, accepting only .png and .jpg extensions:

f = mo.ui.file(filetypes=[".png", ".jpg"], multiple=True)

# access an uploaded file's name
f.value[index].name
# or
f.name(index)

# access the uploaded file's contents
f.value[index].contents
# or
f.contents(index)

callout(
    kind: Literal[
        "neutral", "danger", "warn", "success", "info"

TYPE: int DEFAULT: 0

RETURNS DESCRIPTION
Optional[bytes]

Optional[bytes]: The contents of the file at the specified index, or None if index is out of range.

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,

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(
