Select

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.
