PyWebIO/pywebio/input.py

"""

This module provides functions to get all kinds of input of user from the browser

There are two ways to use the input functions, one is to call the input function alone to get a single input::

    name = input("What's your name")
    print("Your name is %s" % name)

The other is to use `input_group` to get multiple inputs at once::

    info = input_group("User info",[
      input('Input your name', name='name'),
      input('Input your age', name='age', type=NUMBER)
    ])
    print(info['name'], info['age'])

When use `input_group`, you needs to provide the ``name`` parameter in each input function to identify the input items in the result.

.. note::

   PyWebIO determines whether the input function is in `input_group` or is called alone according to whether the
   ``name`` parameter is passed. So when calling an input function alone, **do not** set the ``name`` parameter;
   when calling the input function in `input_group`, you **must** provide the ``name`` parameter.

By default, the user can submit empty input value. If the user must provide a non-empty input value, you need to
pass ``required=True`` to the input function (some input functions do not support the ``required`` parameter)

The input functions in this module is blocking, and the input form will be destroyed after successful submission.
If you want the form to always be displayed on the page and receive input continuously,
you can consider the :doc:`pin <./pin>` module.

    :param str label: Label of input field.
    :param str type: Input type. Currently, supported types are：`TEXT` , `NUMBER` , `FLOAT` , `PASSWORD` , `URL` , `DATE` , `TIME`, `COLOR`, `DATETIME_LOCAL`

       Note that `DATE` and `TIME` type are not supported on some browsers,
       for details see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#Browser_compatibility
    :param callable validate: Input value validation function. If provided, the validation function will be called when
        user completes the input field or submits the form.

        ``validate`` receives the input value as a parameter. When the input value is valid, it returns ``None``.
        When the input value is invalid, it returns an error message string. For example:

        .. exportable-codeblock::
            :name: input-valid-func
            :summary: `input()` validation

            def check_age(age):
                if age>30:
                    return 'Too old'
                elif age<10:
                    return 'Too young'
            input('Input your age', type=NUMBER, validate=check_age)

    :param str name: A string specifying a name for the input. Used with `input_group()` to identify different input
        items in the results of the input group. If call the input function alone, this parameter can **not** be set!
    :param str value: The initial value of the input
    :type action: tuple(label:str, callback:callable)
    :param action: Put a button on the right side of the input field, and user can click the button to set the value for the input.

        ``label`` is the label of the button, and ``callback`` is the callback function to set the input value when clicked.

        The callback is invoked with one argument, the ``set_value``. ``set_value`` is a callable object, which is
        invoked with one or two arguments. You can use ``set_value`` to set the value for the input.

        ``set_value`` can be invoked with one argument: ``set_value(value:str)``. The ``value`` parameter is the value to be set for the input.

        ``set_value`` can be invoked with two arguments: ``set_value(value:any, label:str)``. Each arguments are described as follows:

         * ``value`` : The real value of the input, can be any object. it will not be passed to the user browser.
         * ``label`` : The text displayed to the user

        When calling ``set_value`` with two arguments, the input item in web page will become read-only.

        The usage scenario of ``set_value(value:any, label:str)`` is: You need to dynamically generate the value of the
        input in the callback, and hope that the result displayed to the user is different from the actual submitted data
        (for example, result displayed to the user can be some user-friendly texts, and the value of the input can be
        objects that are easier to process)

        Usage example:

        .. exportable-codeblock::
            :name: input-action
            :summary: `input()` action usage

            import time
            def set_now_ts(set_value):
                set_value(int(time.time()))

            ts = input('Timestamp', type=NUMBER, action=('Now', set_now_ts))
            put_text('Timestamp:', ts)  # ..demo-only
            ## ----
            from datetime import date,timedelta
            def select_date(set_value):
                with popup('Select Date'):
                    put_buttons(['Today'], onclick=[lambda: set_value(date.today(), 'Today')])
                    put_buttons(['Yesterday'], onclick=[lambda: set_value(date.today() - timedelta(days=1), 'Yesterday')])

            d = input('Date', action=('Select', select_date), readonly=True)
            put_text(type(d), d)

        Note: When using :ref:`Coroutine-based session <coroutine_based_session>` implementation, the ``callback``
        function can be a coroutine function.

    :param callable onchange: A callback function which will be called when user change the value of this input field.

       The ``onchange`` callback is invoked with one argument, the current value of input field.
       A typical usage scenario of ``onchange`` is to update other input item by using `input_update()`

    :param str placeholder: A hint to the user of what can be entered in the input. It will appear in the input field when it has no value set.
    :param bool required: Whether a value is required for the input to be submittable, default is ``False``
    :param bool readonly: Whether the value is readonly(not editable)
    :param list datalist: A list of predefined values to suggest to the user for this input. Can only be used when ``type=TEXT``
    :param str help_text: Help text for the input. The text will be displayed below the input field with small font
    :param other_html_attrs: Additional html attributes added to the input element.
        reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/zh-CN/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input#%E5%B1%9E%E6%80%A7
