`pin` == Persistent input == Pinning input widget to the page
================================================================

Overview
------------------

As you already know, the input function of PyWebIO is blocking
and the input form will be destroyed after successful submission.
In most cases, it enough to use this way to get input.
However in some cases, you may want to make the input form **not** disappear after submission,
and can continue to receive input.

So PyWebIO provide the ``pin`` module to achieve persistent input by pinning input widgets to the page.

The ``pin`` module achieves persistent input in 3 parts:

First, this module provides some pin widgets.
Pin widgets are not different from output widgets in ``pywebio.output`` module,
besides that they can also receive input.

This code outputs an text input pin widget:

.. exportable-codeblock::
    :name: pin-put_input
    :summary: `put_input()` example

    put_input('input', label='This is a input widget')

In fact, the usage of pin widget function is same as the output function.
You can use it as part of the combined output, or you can output pin widget to a scope:

.. exportable-codeblock::
    :name: pin-basic
    :summary: Pin widget as output function

    put_row([
        put_input('input'),
        put_select('select', options=['A', 'B', 'C'])
    ])

    with use_scope('search-area'):
        put_input('search', placeholder='Search')

Then, you can use the `pin` object to get the value of pin widget:

.. exportable-codeblock::
    :name: get-pin-value
    :summary: Use the `pin` object to get the value of pin widget

    put_input('pin_name')
    put_buttons(['Get Pin Value'], lambda _: put_text(pin.pin_name))

The first parameter that the pin widget function receives is the name of the pin widget.
You can get the current value of the pin widget via the attribute of the same name of the `pin` object.

In addition, the `pin` object also supports getting the value of the pin widget by index, that is to say::

    pin['pin_name'] == pin.pin_name

There are also two useful functions when you use the pin module: `pin_wait_change()` and `pin_update()`.

Since the pin widget functions is not blocking,
`pin_wait_change()` is used to wait for the value of one of a list of pin widget to change, it 's a blocking function.

`pin_update()` can be used to update attributes of pin widgets.

Pin widgets
------------------
Each pin widget function corresponds to an input function of :doc:`input <./input>` module.

The function of pin widget supports most of the parameters of the corresponding input function.

The following is the difference between the two in parameters:

 * The first parameter of pin widget function is always the name of the widget,
   and the name needs to be unique throughout the session.
 * Pin functions don't support the ``on_change`` and ``validate`` callbacks, and the ``required`` parameter.
 * Pin functions have additional ``scope`` and ``position`` parameters for output control.

.. autofunction:: put_input
.. autofunction:: put_textarea
.. autofunction:: put_select
.. autofunction:: put_checkbox
.. autofunction:: put_radio
.. autofunction:: put_slider

Pin utils
------------------
.. data:: pin

    Pin widgets value getter and setter.

    You can use attribute or key index of ``pin`` object to get the current value of a pin widget.
    When accessing the value of a widget that does not exist, it returns ``None`` instead of throwing an exception.

    You can also use the ``pin`` object to set the value of pin widget:

    .. exportable-codeblock::
        :name: set-pin-value
        :summary: Use the `pin` object to set the value of pin widget

        put_input('counter', type='number', value=0)

        while True:
            pin.counter = pin.counter + 1  # Equivalent to: pin['counter'] = pin['counter'] + 1
            time.sleep(1)

    Note: When using :ref:`coroutine-based session <coroutine_based_session>`,
    you need to use the ``await pin.name`` (or ``await pin['name']``) syntax to get pin widget value.
