Mini App Example

You can find this example in our Github repository:

ui-widgets-demos/text elements/001_text/src/main.py

Import libraries

import os

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

Init API client

Init API for communicating with Supervisely Instance. First, we load environment variables with credentials:

load_dotenv("local.env")
load_dotenv(os.path.expanduser("~/supervisely.env"))
api = sly.Api()

Initialize five Button widgets for each type of text message: text, info, success, warning, error

button_show_text = Button(
    text="Text",
    button_type="primary",
    button_size="small",
    icon="zmdi zmdi-comment-text",
)
button_show_info = Button(
    text="Info",
    button_type="info",
    button_size="small",
    icon="zmdi zmdi-info-outline",
)
button_show_success = Button(
    text="Success",
    button_type="success",
    button_size="small",
    icon="zmdi zmdi-check",
)
button_show_warning = Button(
    text="Warning",
    button_type="warning",
    button_size="small",
    icon="zmdi zmdi-alert-circle-o",
)
button_show_error = Button(
    text="Error",
    button_type="danger",
    button_size="small",
    icon="zmdi zmdi-minus-circle-outline",
)

Initialize Container widget

Create Container widget for all buttons.

buttons_container = Container(
    widgets=[
        button_show_text,
        button_show_info,
        button_show_success,
        button_show_warning,
        button_show_error,
    ],
    direction="horizontal",
)

Initialize Text widget with text and status

text = Text(
    text="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet... anim id est laborum.",
    status="text",
)

Create app layout

Prepare a layout for app using Card widget with the content parameter and place 2 widgets that we've just created in the Container widget. Place order in the Container is important, we want the message text to be displayed below the buttons.

card = Card(
    title="Text",
    description="👉 Click on the button to change text highlighting",
    content=Container(widgets=[buttons_container, text]),
)
layout = Container(widgets=[card], direction="vertical")

Create app using layout

Create an app object with layout parameter.

app = sly.Application(layout=layout)

Our app layout is ready.

Start text status change with button click

Use the decorator as shown below to handle button click. Text will be updating it status after pressing corresponding button.

@button_show_text.click
def show_text():
    text.status = "text"

@button_show_info.click
def show_info():
    text.status = "info"

@button_show_success.click
def show_success():
    text.status = "success"

@button_show_warning.click
def show_warning():
    text.status = "warning"
