# InputTag

## Introduction

**`InputTag`** widget in Supervisely is a user interface element that allows users to add or remove tag labels to items (images, videos, volumes, and point clouds). It uses `TagMeta` of the current project and allow to use them easily in Supervisely apps. `InputTag` widget is a valuable tool for improving the organization and efficiency of Supervisely apps.

## Function signature

```python
InputTag(
    tag_meta,
    max_width=300,
    widget_id=None,
)
```

|           `deactivate()`           | Deactivate `InputTag` switch.                                       |
|            `is_active()`           | Check `InputTag` switch is active.                                  |
| `is_valid_value(value: tag.value)` | Check `InputTag` current value is valid.                            |
|    `set(tag: Union[Tag, None])`    | Set given value in `InputTag`.                                      |
|             `get_tag()`            | Get current `Tag` from `InputTag`.                                  |

## Mini App Example

You can find this example in our Github repository:

[ui-widgets-demos/input/003\_input\_tag/src/main.py](https://github.com/supervisely-ecosystem/ui-widgets-demos/blob/master/input/003_input_tag/src/main.py)

### Import libraries

```python
import os

import supervisely as sly
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from supervisely.app.widgets import Button, Card, Container, InputTag, Text
```

### Init API client

First, we load environment variables with credentials and init API for communicating with Supervisely Instance:

```python
load_dotenv("local.env")
load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))

api = sly.Api()
```

### Initialize `Project` ID and `TagMeta` we will use

```python
project_id = sly.env.project_id()

meta_json = api.project.get_meta(project_id)
project_meta = sly.ProjectMeta.from_json(meta_json)
tag_metas = project_meta.tag_metas
```

### Initialize list of `InputTag` widgets for each `TagMeta` in project

```python
tag_inputs = [InputTag(t) for t in tag_metas]
```

### Initialize `Button` and `Text` widgets we will use

```python
toggle_btn = Button("Toggle")
value_text = Text()
```

### Create app layout

Prepare a layout for app using `Card` widget with the `content` parameter and place widget that we've just created in the `Container` widget.

```python
tag_inputs_container = Container(widgets=tag_inputs)
container = Container(widgets=[tag_inputs_container, toggle_btn, value_text])
card = Card(title="Tag inputs", content=container)
layout = Container(widgets=[card])
```

### Create app using layout

Create an app object with layout parameter.

```python
app = sly.Application(layout=layout)
```

### Handle button clicks

Use the decorators to handle button click and tag values changing. We have button to change tags switch status and text field to show tags values changing.

```python
for tag_input in tag_inputs:

    @tag_input.value_changed
    def show_message(value):
        value_text.text = value


@toggle_btn.click
def toggle_tag_inputs():
    for tag_input in tag_inputs:
        if tag_input.is_active():
            tag_input.deactivate()
        else:
            tag_input.activate()
```
