Refresh

marimo.ui.refresh

refresh(
    options: Optional[list[Union[int, float, str]]] = None,
    default_interval: Optional[
        Union[int, float, str]
    ] = None,
    *,
    label: str = "",
    on_change: Optional[Callable[[int], None]] = None
)

Bases: UIElement[int, int]

A refresh button that will auto-refresh its descendants for a given interval.

Each option value can either be a number (int or float) in seconds or a human-readable string (e.g. "1s", "10s", "1m"). You can also combine multiple time units (e.g. "1m 30s").

Note

The refresh interval may not be exact, as it depends on the time it takes to render the content and the time it takes to send the content to the client. Also, due to the buffering of UI element changes, if the downstream cells take a long time to render, the refresh interval may be longer than expected.

Examples:

refresh_button = mo.ui.refresh(
    options=["1m", "5m 30s", "10m"],
    default_interval="10m",
)
refresh_button

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

center() -> Html

Center an item.

Example.

mo.md("# Hello, world").center()

Returns.

An Html object.

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.

  • label: A text label for the form.
  • bordered: whether the form should have a border
  • loading: whether the form should be in a loading state
  • submit_button_label: the label of the submit button
  • submit_button_tooltip: the tooltip of the submit button
  • submit_button_disabled: whether the submit button should be disabled
  • clear_on_submit: whether the form should clear its contents after submitting
  • show_clear_button: whether the form should show a clear button
  • clear_button_label: the label of the clear button
  • clear_button_tooltip: the tooltip of the clear button
  • validate: a function that takes the form's value and returns an error message if the value is invalid, or None if the value is valid
