View Source Kino.Input (Kino v0.10.0)

Various input elements for entering data.

examples

Examples

First, create an input and make sure it is rendered, either by placing it at the end of a code cell or by explicitly rendering it with Kino.render/1.

input = Kino.Input.text("Name")

Then read the value after the input has been rendered:

name = Kino.Input.read(input)

All inputs are shared by default: once you change the input, your changes will be immediately replicated to all users reading the notebook. Use Kino.Control.form/2 if you want each user to have their own input.

async-api

Async API

You can subscribe to input changes or use the Stream API for event feed. See the Kino.Control module for more details.

audio(label, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec audio(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new audio input.

The input value is a map, with the audio binary and metadata:

%{
  data: binary(),
  num_channels: pos_integer(),
  sampling_rate: pos_integer()
}

Note that the value can also be nil, if no audio is selected.

Warning

The audio input is shared by default: once you upload an audio, the audio will be replicated to all users reading the notebook. Use Kino.Control.form/2 if you want each user to have a distinct audio upload with an explicit submission button.

options

Options

  • :format - the format to read the audio as, either of:

    • :pcm_f32 (default) - the PCM (32-bit float) format. Note that the binary uses native system endianness. Such binary can be directly converted to an Nx tensor, with no additional decoding

    • :wav

  • :sampling_rate - the sampling rate (samples per second) of the audio data. Defaults to 48_000

checkbox(label, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec checkbox(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new checkbox.

The input value can be either true or false.

options

Options

  • :default - the initial input value. Defaults to false

color(label, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec color(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new color input.

The input value can be a hex color string.

options

Options

  • :default - the initial input value. Defaults to #6583FF
@spec date(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new date input.

The input is read as a %Date{} struct.

options

Options

  • :default - the initial input value. Defaults to nil

  • :min - the minimum date value

  • :max - the maximum date value

@spec file(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new file input.

The input value is a map, with the file path and metadata:

%{
  file_ref: String.t(),
  client_name: String.t()
}

Note that the value can also be nil, if no file is selected.

The file path can then be accessed using file_path/1.

Warning

The file input is shared by default: once you upload a file, the file will be replicated to all users reading the notebook. Use Kino.Control.form/2 if you want each user to have a distinct file upload with an explicit submission button.

considerations

Considerations

Note that a file may be deleted in certain cases, specifically:

  • when the file is reuploaded
  • when used with a form and the uploading user leaves
  • when the input is removed

The deletion is not immediate and you are unlikely to run into this in practice, however theoretically file_path/1 may point to a non-existing file.

options

Options

  • :accept - the list of accepted file types (either extensions or MIME types) or :any. Defaults to :any

examples

Examples

To read the content of currently uploaded file we would do:

# [Cell 1]

input = Kino.Input.file("File")

# [Cell 2]

value = Kino.Input.read(input)
path = Kino.Input.file_path(value.file_ref)
File.read!(path)

And here's how we could process an asynchronous form submission:

# [Cell 1]

form = Kino.Control.form([file: Kino.Input.file("File")], submit: "Send")

# [Cell 2]

form
|> Kino.Control.stream()
|> Kino.listen(fn event ->
  path = Kino.Input.file_path(event.data.file.file_ref)
  content = File.read!(path)
  IO.inspect(content)
end)
@spec file_path(file_ref) :: String.t() when file_ref: {:file, id :: String.t()}

Returns file path for the given file identifier.

image(label, opts \\ [])

View Source
@spec image(
  String.t(),
  keyword()
) :: t()

Creates a new image input.

The input value is a map, with the image binary and metadata:

%{
  data: binary(),
  height: pos_integer(),
  width: pos_integer(),
  format: :rgb | :png | :jpeg
}

Note that the value can also be nil, if no image is selected.

Warning

The image input is shared by default: once you upload a image, the image will be replicated to all users reading the notebook. Use Kino.Control.form/2 if you want each user to have a distinct image upload with an explicit submission button.

options

Options

  • :format - the format to read the image as, either of:

    • :rgb (default) - the binary includes raw pixel values, each encoded as a single byte in the HWC order. Such binary can be directly converted to an Nx tensor, with no additional decoding

    • :png

    • :jpeg (or :jpg)

  • :size - the size to fit the image into, given as {height, width}

  • :fit - the strategy of fitting the image into :size, either of:

    • :contain (default) - resizes the image, such that it fits in a box of :size, but preserving the aspect ratio. The resulting image can be smaller or equal to :size

    • :match - resizes the image to :size, with no respect for aspect ratio

    • :pad - same as :contain, but pads the image to match :size exactly

    • :crop - resizes the image, such that one edge fits in :size and the other overflows, then center-crops the image to match :size exactly
