Select

Make your Notebook look better! You can add Select widgets with option to select a single value, all of this with Select (Mercury Widget).

Example code:

import mercury as mr

my_selection = mr.Select(value = "a", choices = ["a", "b", "c"], label = "Select option")

print(f"Selected value is: {my_selection.value}.")

Code explanation:

First step is importing Mercury. Then create variable (my_selection in our case) and asign the Select widget to it. At the end print your results using my_selection.value.

Parameters

value (string) is a default selection. If value is not present in choices or if value is empty, it sets value to the first element of choices.
choices (list of strings) is a place where you can set options which user chooses later. It can't be empty!
label (string) is a title of selection widget.
url_key (string) - set this value if you would like to set Select value with URL paramters.
disabled (boolean) - disable widget in the sidebar, default is set to False.
hidden (boolean) - hide widget in the sidebar, default is set to False.

Example of use

People often use Select with if construction:

import mercury as mr

selection = mr.Select(value = "greeting", choices = ["greeting", "farewell"], label = "Select option")
