# Focus component
If you want to focus on a component, you can use `me.focus_component` which focuses the component with the specified key if it is focusable.
## Example
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/focus_component")
def page():
with me.box(style=me.Style(margin=me.Margin.all(15))):
me.select(
options=[
me.SelectOption(label="Autocomplete", value="autocomplete"),
me.SelectOption(label="Checkbox", value="checkbox"),
me.SelectOption(label="Input", value="input"),
me.SelectOption(label="Link", value="link"),
me.SelectOption(label="Radio", value="radio"),
me.SelectOption(label="Select", value="select"),
me.SelectOption(label="Slider", value="slider"),
me.SelectOption(label="Slide Toggle", value="slide_toggle"),
me.SelectOption(label="Textarea", value="textarea"),
me.SelectOption(label="Uploader", value="uploader"),
],
on_selection_change=on_selection_change,
)
me.divider()
with me.box(
style=me.Style(
display="grid",
gap=5,
grid_template_columns="1fr 1fr",
margin=me.Margin.all(15),
)
):
with me.box():
me.autocomplete(
key="autocomplete",
label="Autocomplete",
options=[
me.AutocompleteOption(label="Test", value="Test"),
me.AutocompleteOption(label="Test2", value="Tes2t"),
],
)
with me.box():
me.checkbox("Checkbox", key="checkbox")
with me.box():
me.input(key="input", label="Input")
with me.box():
me.link(key="link", text="Test", url="https://google.com")
with me.box():
me.radio(
key="radio",
options=[
me.RadioOption(label="Option 1", value="1"),
me.RadioOption(label="Option 2", value="2"),
],
)
with me.box():
me.select(
key="select",
label="Select",
options=[
me.SelectOption(label="label 1", value="value1"),
me.SelectOption(label="label 2", value="value2"),
me.SelectOption(label="label 3", value="value3"),
],
)
with me.box():
me.slider(key="slider")
with me.box():
me.slide_toggle(key="slide_toggle", label="Slide toggle")
with me.box():
me.textarea(key="textarea", label="Textarea")
with me.box():
me.uploader(
key="uploader",
label="Upload Image",
accepted_file_types=["image/jpeg", "image/png"],
type="flat",
color="primary",
style=me.Style(font_weight="bold"),
)
def on_selection_change(e: me.SelectSelectionChangeEvent):
me.focus_component(key=e.value)
```
## API
### focus_component
```python
def focus_component(*, key: str) -> None:
Focus the component specified by the key
Args:
key: The unique identifier of the component to focus on.
This key should be globally unique to prevent unexpected behavior.
If multiple components share the same key, the first component
instance found in the component tree will be focused on.
```

# Navigate
To navigate to another page, you can use `me.navigate`. This is particularly useful for navigating across a [multi-page](../../guides/multi-pages.md) app.
## Example
```python
import mesop as me
def navigate(event: me.ClickEvent):
me.navigate("/about")
@me.page(path="/")
def home():
me.text("This is the home page")
me.button("navigate to about page", on_click=navigate)
@me.page(path="/about")
def about():
me.text("This is the about page")
```
## API
### navigate
```python
def navigate(url: str, *, query_params: dict[str, typing.Union[str, typing.Sequence[str]]] | mesop.features.query_params.QueryParams | None = None) -> None:
Navigates to the given URL.
Args:
url: The URL to navigate to.
query_params: A dictionary of query parameters to include in the URL, or `me.query_params`. If not provided, all current query parameters will be removed.
```

## Overview
Autocomplete allows the user to enter free text or select from a list of dynamic values
and is based on the [Angular Material autocomplete component](https://material.angular.io/components/autocomplete/overview).
This components only renders text labels and values.
The autocomplete filters by case-insensitively matching substrings of the option label.
Currently, there is no on blur event with this component since the blur event does not
get the selected value on the first blur. Due to this ambiguous behavior, the blur event
has been left out.

## Overview
Badge decorates a UI component and is oftentimes used for unread message count and is based on the [Angular Material badge component](https://material.angular.io/components/badge/overview).
## Examples
<iframe class="component-demo" src="https://google.github.io/mesop/demo/?demo=badge" style="height: 100px"></iframe>
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(
security_policy=me.SecurityPolicy(
allowed_iframe_parents=["https://google.github.io"]
),

def app():
with me.box(
style=me.Style(
display="block",
padding=me.Padding(top=16, right=16, bottom=16, left=16),
height=50,
width=30,
)
):
with me.badge(content="1", size="medium"):
me.text(text="text with badge")
```
## API
### badge
```python
def badge(*, color: Literal['primary', 'accent', 'warn'] = 'primary', overlap: bool = False, disabled: bool = False, position: Literal['above after', 'above before', 'below before', 'below after', 'before', 'after', 'above', 'below'] = 'above after', content: str = '', description: str = '', size: Literal['small', 'medium', 'large'] = 'small', hidden: bool = False, key: str | None = None):

# Multi-Pages
You can define multi-page Mesop applications by using the page feature you learned from [Core Concepts](../getting-started/core-concepts.md).
## Multi-page setup
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/1")
def page1():
me.text("page 1")
@me.page(path="/2")
def page2():
me.text("page 2")
```
Learn more about page configuration in the [page API doc](../api/page.md).
## Navigation
If you have multiple pages, you will typically want to navigate from one page to another when the user clicks a button. You can use `me.navigate("/to/path")` to navigate to another page.
**Example:**
```python
import mesop as me
def on_click(e: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.count += 1
me.navigate("/multi_page_nav/page_2")
@me.page(path="/multi_page_nav")
def main_page():
me.button("Navigate to Page 2", on_click=on_click)
@me.page(path="/multi_page_nav/page_2")
def page_2():
state = me.state(State)
me.text(f"Page 2 - count: {state.count}")
@me.stateclass
class State:
count: int
```
> Note: you can re-use state across pages. See how the above example uses the `State#count` value across pages.

# State Management
State management is a critical element of building interactive apps because it allows you store information about what the user did in a structured way.
## Basic usage
You can register a class using the class decorator `me.stateclass` which is like a dataclass with special powers:
```python
@me.stateclass
class State:
val: str
```
You can get an instance of the state class inside any of your Mesop component functions by using `me.state`:
```py
@me.page()
def page():
state = me.state(State)
me.text(state.val)
```
## Use immutable default values
Similar to [regular dataclasses which disallow mutable default values](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html#mutable-default-values), you need to avoid mutable default values such as list and dict for state classes. Using mutable default values can result in leaking state across sessions which can be a serious privacy issue.
You **MUST** use immutable default values _or_ use dataclasses `field` initializer _or_ not set a default value.
???+ success "Good: immutable default value"
Setting a default value to an immutable type like str is OK.
```py
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: str = "abc"
```
???+ failure "Bad: mutable default value"
The following will raise an exception because dataclasses prevents you from using mutable collection types like `list` as the default value because this is a common footgun.
```py
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: list[str] = ["abc"]
```
If you set a default value to an instance of a custom type, an exception will not be raised, but you will be dangerously sharing the same mutable instance across sessions which could cause a serious privacy issue.
```py
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: MutableClass = MutableClass()
```
???+ success "Good: default factory"
If you want to set a field to a mutable default value, use default_factory in the `field` function from the dataclasses module to create a new instance of the mutable default value for each instance of the state class.
```py
from dataclasses import field
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: list[str] = field(default_factory=lambda: ["abc"])
```
???+ success "Good: no default value"
If you want a default of an empty list, you can just not define a default value and Mesop will automatically define an empty list default value.
For example, if you write the following:
```py
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: list[str]
```
It's the equivalent of:
```py
@me.stateclass
class State:
a: list[str] = field(default_factory=list)
```
## How State Works
`me.stateclass` is a class decorator which tells Mesop that this class can be retrieved using the `me.state` method, which will return the state instance for the current user session.
> If you are familiar with the dependency injection pattern, Mesop's stateclass and state API is essentially a minimalist dependency injection system which scopes the state object to the lifetime of a user session.
Under the hood, Mesop is sending the state back and forth between the server and browser client so everything in a state class must be serializable.
## Multiple state classes
You can use multiple classes to store state for the current user session.
Using different state classes for different pages or components can help make your app easier to maintain and more modular.
```py
@me.stateclass
class PageAState:
...
@me.stateclass
class PageBState:
...
@me.page(path="/a")
def page_a():
state = me.state(PageAState)
...
@me.page(path="/b")
def page_b():
state = me.state(PageBState)
...
```
Under the hood, Mesop is managing state classes based on the identity (e.g. module name and class name) of the state class, which means that you could have two state classes named "State", but if they are in different modules, then they will be treated as separate state, which is what you would expect.
## Nested State
You can also have classes inside of a state class as long as everything is serializable:
```python
class NestedState:
val: str
@me.stateclass
class State:
nested: NestedState
def app():
state = me.state(State)
```
> Note: you only need to decorate the top-level state class with `@me.stateclass`. All the nested state classes will automatically be wrapped.
### Nested State and dataclass
Sometimes, you may want to explicitly decorate the nested state class with `dataclass` because in the previous example, you couldn't directly instantiate `NestedState`.
If you wanted to use NestedState as a general dataclass, you can do the following:
```python
@dataclass
class NestedState:
val: str = ""
@me.stateclass
class State:
nested: NestedState
def app():
state = me.state(State)
```
> Reminder: because dataclasses do not have default values, you will need to explicitly set default values, otherwise Mesop will not be able to instantiate an empty version of the class.
Now, if you have an event handler function, you can do the following:
```py
def on_click(e):
response = call_api()
state = me.state(State)
state.nested = NestedState(val=response.text)
```
If you didn't explicitly annotate NestedState as a dataclass, then you would get an error instantiating NestedState because there's no initializer defined.
## Tips
### State performance issues
Take a look at the [performance guide](./performance.md#optimizing-state-size) to learn how to identify and fix State-related performance issues.
## Next steps
Event handlers complement state management by providing a way to update your state in response to user interactions.

# Web Security
Mesop by default configures its apps to follow a set of web security best practices.
## How
At a high-level, Mesop is built on top of Angular which provides [built-in security protections](https://angular.io/guide/security) and Mesop configures a strict [Content Security Policy](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP).
Specifics:
- Mesop APIs do not allow arbitrary JavaScript execution in the main execution context. For example, the [markdown](../components/markdown.md) component sanitizes the markdown content and removes active HTML content like JavaScript.
- Mesop's default Content Security Policy prevents arbitrary JavaScript code from executing on the page unless it passes [Angular's Trusted Types](https://angular.io/guide/security#enforcing-trusted-types) polices.
## Iframe Security
To prevent [clickjacking](https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/Clickjacking), Mesop apps, when running in prod mode (the default mode used when [deployed](../guides/deployment.md)), do not allow sites from any other origins to iframe the Mesop app.
> Note: pages from the same origin as the Mesop app can always iframe the Mesop app.
If you want to allow a trusted site to iframe your Mesop app, you can explicitly allow list the [sources](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/frame-ancestors#sources) which can iframe your app by configuring the security policy for a particular page.
### Example
```py
import mesop as me
@me.page(
path="/allows_iframed",
security_policy=me.SecurityPolicy(
allowed_iframe_parents=["https://google.com"],
),
)
def app():
me.text("Test CSP")
```
You can also use wildcards to allow-list multiple subdomains from the same site, such as: `https://*.example.com`.
## API
You can configure the security policy at the page level. See [SecurityPolicy on the Page API docs](../api/page.md#mesop.security.security_policy.SecurityPolicy).

```python
import mesop as me
@me.stateclass
class State:
sidenav_open: bool
def on_click(e: me.ClickEvent):
s = me.state(State)
s.sidenav_open = not s.sidenav_open
SIDENAV_WIDTH = 200
@me.page(
security_policy=me.SecurityPolicy(
allowed_iframe_parents=["https://google.github.io"]

style=me.Style(
margin=me.Margin(left=SIDENAV_WIDTH if state.sidenav_open else 0),
),
):
with me.content_button(on_click=on_click):
me.icon("menu")
me.markdown("Main content")
```
## API
### sidenav
```python

# Layouts
Mesop takes an unopinionated approach to layout. It does not impose a specific layout on your app so you can build custom layouts. The crux of doing layouts in Mesop is the [Box component](../components/box.md) and using the [Style API](../api/style.md) which are Pythonic wrappers around the CSS layout model.
For most Mesop apps, you will use some combination of these types of layouts:
- [Rows and Columns](#rows-and-columns)
- [Grids](#grids)
## Common layout examples
To interact with the examples below, open the Mesop Layouts Colab: [![Open In Colab](../assets/colab.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/google/mesop/blob/main/notebooks/mesop_layout_colab.ipynb)

```python title="Basic Row"
def row():
with me.box(style=me.Style(display="flex", flex_direction="row")):

#### Row with Spacing
```python title="Row with Spacing"
def row():
with me.box(style=me.Style(display="flex", flex_direction="row", justify_content="space-around")):
me.text("Left")
me.text("Right")
```
#### Row with Alignment
```python title="Row with Alignment"
def row():
with me.box(style=me.Style(display="flex", flex_direction="row", align_items="center")):
me.box(style=me.Style(background="red", height=50, width="50%"))

```python title="Rows and Columns"
def app():
with me.box(style=me.Style(display="flex", flex_direction="row", gap=16, height="100%")):
column(1)
column(2)
column(3)
def column(num: int):
with me.box(style=me.Style(
flex_grow=1,
background="#e0e0e0",
padding=me.Padding.all(16),
display="flex",
flex_direction="column",
)):
me.box(style=me.Style(background="red", height=100))
me.box(style=me.Style(background="blue", flex_grow=1))
```
### Grids
#### Side-by-side Grid
```python title="Side-by-side Grid"
def grid():
# 1fr means 1 fraction, so each side is the same size.
# Try changing one of the 1fr to 2fr and see what it looks like
with me.box(style=me.Style(display="grid", grid_template_columns="1fr 1fr")):
me.text("A bunch of text")
me.text("Some more text")
```
#### Header Body Footer Grid
```python title="Header Body Footer Grid"
def app():
with me.box(style=me.Style(
display="grid",
grid_template_rows="auto 1fr auto",
height="100%"
)):
# Header
with me.box(style=me.Style(
background="#f0f0f0",
padding=me.Padding.all(24)
)):
me.text("Header")
# Body
with me.box(style=me.Style(
padding=me.Padding.all(24),
overflow_y="auto"
)):
me.text("Body Content")
# Add more body content here
# Footer
with me.box(style=me.Style(
background="#f0f0f0",
padding=me.Padding.all(24)
)):
me.text("Footer")
```
#### Sidebar Layout
```python title="Sidebar Layout"
def app():
with me.box(style=me.Style(
display="grid",
grid_template_columns="250px 1fr",
height="100%"
)):
# Sidebar
with me.box(style=me.Style(
background="#f0f0f0",
padding=me.Padding.all(24),
overflow_y="auto"
)):
me.text("Sidebar")
# Main content
with me.box(style=me.Style(
padding=me.Padding.all(24),
overflow_y="auto"
)):
me.text("Main Content")
```
#### Responsive UI
This is similar to the Grid Sidebar layout above, except on smaller screens, we will hide the sidebar. Try resizing the browser window and see how the UI changes.
Learn more about responsive UI in the [viewport size docs](../api/viewport-size.md).
```python
def app():
is_desktop = me.viewport_size().width > 640
with me.box(style=me.Style(
display="grid",
grid_template_columns="250px 1fr" if is_desktop else "1fr",
height="100%"
)):
if is_desktop:
# Sidebar
with me.box(style=me.Style(
background="#f0f0f0",
padding=me.Padding.all(24),
overflow_y="auto"
)):
me.text("Sidebar")
# Main content
with me.box(style=me.Style(
padding=me.Padding.all(24),
overflow_y="auto"
)):
me.text("Main Content")
```

# Components
Please read [Core Concepts](../getting-started/core-concepts.md) before this as it explains the basics of components. This page provides an overview of the different types of components in Mesop.
## Types of components
### Native components
Native components are components implemented using Angular/Javascript. Many of these components wrap [Angular Material components](https://material.angular.io/components/). Other components are simple wrappers around DOM elements.
If you have a use case that's not supported by the existing native components, please [file an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/google/mesop/issues/new) to explain your use case. Given our limited bandwidth, we may not be able to build it soon, but in the future, we will enable Mesop developers to build their own custom native components.
### User-defined components
User-defined components are essentially Python functions which call other components, which can be native components or other user-defined components. It's very easy to write your own components, and it's encouraged to split your app into modular components for better maintainability and reusability.
### Web components
Web components in Mesop are custom HTML elements created using JavaScript and CSS. They enable custom JavaScript execution and bi-directional communication between the browser and server. They can wrap JavaScript libraries and provide stateful client-side interactions. [Learn more about web components](../web-components/index.md).
## Content components
Content components allow you to compose components more flexibly than regular components by accepting child(ren) components. A commonly used content component is the [button](./button.md) component, which accepts a child component which oftentimes the [text](./text.md) component.
Example:
```python
with me.button():
me.text("Child")
```
You can also have multiple content components nested:
```python
with me.box():
with me.box():
me.text("Grand-child")
```
Sometimes, you may want to define your own content component for better reusability. For example, let's say I want to define a scaffold component which includes a menu positioned on the left and a main content area, I could do the following:
```python
@me.content_component
def scaffold(url: str):
with me.box(style=me.Style(background="white")):
menu(url=url)
with me.box(style=me.Style(padding=me.Padding(left=MENU_WIDTH))):
me.slot()
```
Now other components can re-use this scaffold component:
```python
def page1():
with scaffold(url="/page1"):
some_content(...)
```
This is similar to Angular's [Content Projection](https://angular.io/guide/content-projection).
## Component Key
Every native component in Mesop accepts a `key` argument which is a component identifier. This is used by Mesop to tell [Angular whether to reuse the DOM element](https://angular.io/api/core/TrackByFunction#description).
### Resetting a component
You can reset a component to the initial state (e.g. reset a [select](./select.md) component to the unselected state) by giving it a new key value across renders.
For example, you can reset a component by "incrementing" the key:
```py
class State:
select_menu_key: int
def reset(event):
state = me.state(State)
state.select_menu_key += 1
def main():
state = me.state(State)
me.select(key=str(state.select_menu_key),
options=[me.SelectOption(label="o1", value="o1")])
me.button(label="Reset", on_click=reset)
```
### Event handlers
Every Mesop event includes the key of the component which emitted the event. This makes it useful when you want to reuse an event handler for multiple instances of a component:
```py
def buttons():
for fruit in ["Apple", "Banana"]:
me.button(fruit, key=fruit, on_click=on_click)
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
fruit = event.key
print("fruit name", fruit)
```
Because a key is a `str` type, you may sometimes want to store more complex data like a dataclass or a proto object for retrieval in the event handler. To do this, you can serialize and deserialize:
```py
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class Person:
name: str
def buttons():
for person in [Person(name="Alice"), Person(name="Bob")]:
# serialize dataclass into str
key = json.dumps(person.asdict())
me.button(person.name, key=key, on_click=on_click)
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
person_dict = json.loads(event.key)
# modify this for more complex deserialization
person = Person(**person_dict)
```
!!! Tip "Use component key for reusable event handler"
This avoids a [subtle issue with using closure variables in event handlers](../guides/interactivity.md#avoid-using-closure-variables-in-event-handler).

# Event Handlers
Event handlers are a core part of Mesop and enables you to handle user interactions by writing Python functions which are called by the Mesop framework when a user event is received.
## How it works
Let's take a look at a simple example of an event handler:
```py title="Simple event handler"
def counter():
me.button("Increment", on_click=on_click)
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.count += 1
@me.stateclass
class State:
count: int = 0
```
Although this example looks simple, there's a lot going on under the hood.
When the counter function is called, it creates an instance of the button component and binds the `on_click` event handler to it. Because components (and the entire Mesop UI) is serialized and sent to the client, we need a way of serializing the event handler so that when the button is clicked, the correct event handler is called on the server.
We don't actually need to serialize the entire event handler, rather we just need to compute a unique id for the event handler function.
Because Mesop has a stateless architecture, we need a way of computing an id for the event handler function that's stable across Python runtimes. For example, the initial page may be rendered by one Python server, but another server may be used to respond to the user event. This stateless architecture allows Mesop apps to be fault-tolerant and enables simple scaling.
## Types of event handlers
### Regular functions
These are the simplest and most common type of event handlers used. It's essentially a regular Python function which is called by the Mesop framework when a user event is received.
```py title="Regular function"
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.count += 1
```
### Generator functions
Python Generator functions are a powerful tool, which allow you to `yield` multiple times in a single event handler. This allows you to render intermediate UI states.
```py title="Generator function"
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.count += 1
yield
time.sleep(1)
state.count += 1
yield
```
You can learn more about real-world use cases of the generator functions in the [Interactivity guide](./interactivity.md).
???+ info "Always yield at the end of a generator function"
If you use a `yield` statement in your event handler, then the event handler will be a generator function. You must have a `yield` statement at the end of the event handler (or each return point), otherwise not all of your code will be executed.
### Async generator functions
Python async generator functions allow you to do concurrent work using Python's `async` and `await` language features. If you are using async Python libraries, you can use these types of event handlers.
```py title="Async generator function"
async def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.count += 1
yield
await asyncio.sleep(1)
state.count += 1
yield
```
For a more complete example, please refer to the [Async section of the Interactivity guide](./interactivity.md#async).
???+ info "Always yield at the end of an async generator function"
Similar to a regular generator function, an async generator function must have a `yield` statement at the end of the event handler (or each return point), otherwise not all of your code will be executed.
## Patterns
### Reusing event handler logic
You can share event handler logic by extracting the common logic into a separate function. For example, you will often want to use the same logic for the `on_enter` event handler for an input component and the `on_click` event handler for a "send" button component.
```py title="Reusing event handler logic"
def on_enter(event: me.InputEnterEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.value = event.value
call_api()
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
# Assumes that state.value has been set by an on_blur event handler
call_api()
def call_api():
# Put your common event handler logic here
pass
```
If you want to reuse event handler logic between generator functions, you can use the [`yield from`](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.3.html#pep-380) syntax. For example, let's say `call_api` in the above example is a generator function. You can use `yield from` to reuse the event handler logic:
```py title="Reusing event handler logic for generator functions"
def on_enter(event: me.InputEnterEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.value = event.value
yield from call_api()
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
yield from call_api()
def call_api():
# Do initial work
yield
# Do more work
yield
```
### Boilerplate-free event handlers
If you're building a form-like UI, it can be tedious to write a separate event handler for each form field. Instead, you can use this pattern which utilizes the `key` attribute that's available in most events and uses Python's built-in `setattr` function to dynamically update the state:
```py title="Boilerplate-free event handlers"
def app():
me.input(label="Name", key="name", on_blur=update_state)
me.input(label="Address", key="address", on_blur=update_state)
@me.stateclass
class State:
name: str
address: str
def update_state(event: me.InputBlurEvent):
state = me.state(State)
setattr(state, event.key, event.value)
```
The downside of this approach is that you lose type safety. Generally, defining a separate event handler, although more verbose, is easier to maintain.
## Troubleshooting
### Avoid using closure variables in event handler
One subtle mistake when building a reusable component is having the event handler use a closure variable, as shown in the following example:
```py title="Bad example of using closure variable"
@me.component
def link_component(url: str):
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
me.navigate(url)
return me.button(url, on_click=on_click)
def app():
link_component("/1")
link_component("/2")
```
The problem with this above example is that Mesop only stores the last event handler. This is because each event handler has the same id which means that Mesop cannot differentiate between the two instances of the same event handler.
This means that both instances of the link_component will refer to the last `on_click` instance which references the same `url` closure variable set to `"/2"`. This almost always produces the wrong behavior.
Instead, you will want to use the pattern of relying on the key in the event handler as demonstrated in the following example:
```py title="Good example of using key"
@me.component
def link_component(url: str):
def on_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
me.navigate(event.key)
return me.button(url, key=url, on_click=on_click)
```
For more info on using component keys, please refer to the [Component Key docs](../components/index.md#component-key).

# Core Concepts
This doc will explain the core concepts of building a Mesop app.
## Hello World app
Let's start by creating a simple Hello World app in Mesop:
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/hello_world")
def app():
me.text("Hello World")
```
This simple example demonstrates a few things:
- Every Mesop app starts with `import mesop as me`. This is the only recommended way to import mesop, otherwise your app may break in the future because you may be relying on internal implementation details.
- `@me.page` is a function decorator which makes a function a _root component_ for a particular path. If you omit the `path` parameter, this is the equivalent of `@me.page(path="/")`.
- `app` is a Python function that we will call a __component__ because it's creating Mesop components in the body.
## Components
Components are the building blocks of a Mesop application. A Mesop application is essentially a tree of components.
Let's explain the different kinds of components in Mesop:
- Mesop comes built-in with __native__ components. These are components implemented using Angular/Javascript. Many of these components wrap [Angular Material components](https://material.angular.io/components/).
- You can also create your own components which are called __user-defined__ components. These are essentially Python functions like `app` in the previous example.
## Counter app
Let's build a more complex app to demonstrate Mesop's interactivity features.
```python
import mesop as me
@me.stateclass
class State:
clicks: int
def button_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.clicks += 1
@me.page(path="/counter")
def main():
state = me.state(State)
me.text(f"Clicks: {state.clicks}")
me.button("Increment", on_click=button_click)
```
This app allows the user to click on a button and increment a counter, which is shown to the user as "Clicks: #".
Let's walk through this step-by-step.
### State
The `State` class represents the application state for a particular browser session. This means every user session has its own instance of `State`.
`@me.stateclass` is a class decorator which is similar to Python's [dataclass](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html) but also sets default values based on type hints and allows Mesop to inject the class as shown next.
> Note: Everything in a state class must be serializable because it's sent between the server and browser.
### Event handler
The `button_click` function is an event handler. An event handler has a single parameter, `event`, which can contain a value (this will be shown in the next example). An event handler is responsible for updating state based on the incoming event.
`me.state(State)` retrieves the instance of the state class for the current session.
### Component
Like the previous example, `main` is a Mesop component function which is decorated with `page` to mark it as a root component for a path.
Similar to the event handler, we can retrieve the state in a component function by calling `me.state(State)`.
> Note: it's _not_ safe to mutate state inside a component function. All mutations must be done in an event handler.
Rendering dynamic values in Mesop is simple because you can use standard Python string interpolation use f-strings:
```python
me.text(f"Clicks: {state.clicks}")
```
The button component demonstrates connecting an event handler to a component. Whenever a click event is triggered by the component, the registered event handler function is called:
```python
me.button("Increment", on_click=button_click)
```
In summary, you've learned how to define a state class, an event handler and wire them together using interactive components.

# Page API
## Overview
Pages allow you to build multi-page applications by decorating Python functions with `me.page`. To learn more, read the see [multi-pages guide](../guides/multi-pages.md).
## Examples
### Simple, 1-page setup
To create a simple Mesop app, you can use `me.page()` like this:
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page()
def foo():
me.text("bar")
```
> NOTE: If you do not provide a `path` argument, then it defaults to the root path `"/"`.
### Explicit 1-page setup
This is the same as the above example which explicitly sets the route to `"/"`.
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/")
def foo():
me.text("bar")
```
## API
### page
```python
def page(*, path: str = '/', title: str | None = None, stylesheets: list[str] | None = None, security_policy: mesop.security.security_policy.SecurityPolicy | None = None, on_load: Optional[Callable[[mesop.events.events.LoadEvent], Optional[Generator[NoneType, NoneType, NoneType]]]] = None) -> Callable[[Callable[[], NoneType]], Callable[[], NoneType]]:
Defines a page in a Mesop application.
This function is used as a decorator to register a function as a page in a Mesop app.
Args:
path: The URL path for the page. Defaults to "/".
title: The title of the page. If None, a default title is generated.
stylesheets: List of stylesheet URLs to load.
security_policy: The security policy for the page. If None, a default strict security policy is used.
on_load: An optional event handler to be called when the page is loaded.
Returns:
A decorator that registers the decorated function as a page.
```
### SecurityPolicy
```python
class SecurityPolicy(*, allowed_iframe_parents: list[str] = <factory>, allowed_connect_srcs: list[str] = <factory>, allowed_script_srcs: list[str] = <factory>, dangerously_disable_trusted_types: bool = False) -> None:
A class to represent the security policy.
Attributes:
allowed_iframe_parents: A list of allowed iframe parents.
allowed_connect_srcs: A list of sites you can connect to, see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/connect-src).
allowed_script_srcs: A list of sites you load scripts from, see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy/script-src).
dangerously_disable_trusted_types: A flag to disable trusted types.
Highly recommended to not disable trusted types because
it's an important web security feature!
```
### LoadEvent
```python
class LoadEvent(*, path: str) -> None:
Represents a page load event.
Attributes:
path: The path loaded
```
## `on_load`
You may want to do some sort of data-processing when a page is first loaded in a session.
### Simple handler
An `on_load` handler is similar to a regular event handler where you can mutate state.
```python
import time
import mesop as me
def fake_api():
yield 1
time.sleep(1)
yield 2
time.sleep(2)
yield 3
def on_load(e: me.LoadEvent):
for val in fake_api():
me.state(State).default_values.append(val)
yield
@me.page(path="/docs/on_load", on_load=on_load)
def app():
me.text("onload")
me.text(str(me.state(State).default_values))
@me.stateclass
class State:
default_values: list[int]
```
### Generator handler
The `on_load` handler can also be a generator function. This is useful if you need to call a slow or streaming API and want to return intermediate results before all the data has been received.
```python
import time
import mesop as me
def on_load(e: me.LoadEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.default_values.append("a")
yield
time.sleep(1)
state.default_values.append("b")
yield
@me.page(path="/docs/on_load_generator", on_load=on_load)
def app():
me.text("onload")
me.text(str(me.state(State).default_values))
@me.stateclass
class State:
default_values: list[str]
```

# Config
## Overview
Mesop is configured at the application level using environment variables.
## Configuration values
### MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND
Sets the backend to use for caching state data server-side. This makes it so state does
not have to be sent to the server on every request, reducing bandwidth, especially if
you have large state objects.
The backend options available at the moment are `memory`, `file`, `sql`, and `firestore`.
#### memory
Users should be careful when using the `memory` backend. Each Mesop process has their
own RAM, which means cache misses will be common if each server has multiple processes
and there is no session affinity. In addition, the amount of RAM must be carefully
specified per instance in accordance with the expected user traffic and state size.
The safest option for using the `memory` backend is to use a single process with a
good amount of RAM. Python is not the most memory efficient, especially when saving data
structures such as dicts.
The drawback of being limited to a single process is that requests will take longer to
process since only one request can be handled at a time. This is especially problematic
if your application contains long running API calls.
If session affinity is available, you can scale up multiple instances, each running
single processes.
#### file
Users should be careful when using the `file` backend. Each Mesop instance has their
own disk, which can be shared among multiple processes. This means cache misses will be
common if there are multiple instances and no session affinity.
If session affinity is available, you can scale up multiple instances, each running
multiple Mesop processes. If no session affinity is available, then you can only
vertically scale a single instance.
The bottleneck with this backend is the disk read/write performance. The amount of disk
space must also be carefully specified per instance in accordance with the expected user
traffic and state size.
You will also need to specify a directory to write the state data using
`MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_FILE_BASE_DIR`.
#### SQL
> NOTE: Setting up and configuring databases is out of scope of this document.
This option uses [SqlAlchemy](https://www.sqlalchemy.org/) to store Mesop state sessions
in supported SQL databases, such as SQLite3 and PostgreSQL. You can also connect to
hosted options, such as GCP CloudSQL.
If you use SQLite3, you cannot use an in-memory database. It has to be a file. This
option has similar pros/cons as the `file` backend. Mesop uses the default configuration
for SQLite3, so the performance will not be optimized for Mesop's usage patterns.
SQLite3 is OK for development purposes.
Using a database like PostgreSQL will allow for better scalability, both vertically and
horizontally, since the database is decoupled from the Mesop server.
The drawback here is that this requires knowledge of the database you're using. At
minimum, you will need to create a database and a database user with the right
privileges. You will also need to create the database table, which you can create
with this script. You will need to update the CONNECTION_URI and TABLE_NAME to match
your database and settings. Also the database user for this script will need privileges
to create tables on the target database.
```python
from sqlalchemy import (
Column,
DateTime,
LargeBinary,
MetaData,
String,
Table,
create_engine,
)
CONNECTION_URI = "your-database-connection-uri"
# Update to "your-table-name" if you've overridden `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_SQL_TABLE`.
TABLE_NAME = "mesop_state_session"
db = create_engine(CONNECTION_URI)
metadata = MetaData()
table = Table(
TABLE_NAME,
metadata,
Column("token", String(23), primary_key=True),
Column("states", LargeBinary, nullable=False),
Column("created_at", DateTime, nullable=False, index=True),
)
metadata.create_all(db)
```
The Mesop server will raise a `sqlalchemy.exc.ProgrammingError` if there is a
database configuration issue.
By default, Mesop will use the table name `mesop_state_session`, but this can be
overridden using `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_SQL_TABLE`.
#### GCP Firestore
This options uses [GCP Firestore](https://cloud.google.com/firestore?hl=en) to store
Mesop state sessions. The `(default)` database has a free tier that can be used for
for small demo applications with low traffic and moderate amounts of state data.
Since Firestore is decoupled from your Mesop server, it allows you to scale vertically
and horizontally without the considerations you'd need to make for the `memory` and
`file` backends.
In order to use Firestore, you will need a Google Cloud account with Firestore enabled.
Follow the instructions for [creating a Firestore in Native mode database](https://cloud.google.com/firestore/docs/create-database-server-client-library#create_a_in_native_mode_database).
Mesop is configured to use the `(default)` Firestore only. The GCP project is determined
using the Application Default Credentials (ADC) which is automatically configured for
you on GCP services, such as Cloud Run.
For local development, you can run this command:
```sh
gcloud auth application-default login
```
If you have multiple GCP projects, you may need to update the project associated
with the ADC:
```sh
GCP_PROJECT=gcp-project
gcloud config set project $GCP_PROJECT
gcloud auth application-default set-quota-project $GCP_PROJECT
```
Mesop leverages Firestore's [TTL policies](https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/ttl)
to delete stale state sessions. This needs to be set up using the following command,
otherwise old data will accumulate unnecessarily.
```sh
COLLECTION_NAME=collection_name
gcloud firestore fields ttls update expiresAt \
--collection-group=$COLLECTION_NAME
```
By default, Mesop will use the collection name `mesop_state_sessions`, but this can be
overridden using `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_FIRESTORE_COLLECTION`.
**Default:** `none`
### MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_FILE_BASE_DIR
This is only used when the `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND` is set to `file`. This
parameter specifies where Mesop will read/write the session state. This means the
directory must be readable and writeable by the Mesop server processes.
### MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_FIRESTORE_COLLECTION
This is only used when the `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND` is set to `firestore`. This
parameter specifies which Firestore collection that Mesop will write state sessions to.
**Default:** `mesop_state_sessions`
### MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_SQL_TABLE
This is only used when the `MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND` is set to `sql`. This
parameter specifies which SQL database table that Mesop will write state sessions to.
**Default:** `mesop_state_session`
## Usage Examples
### One-liner
You can specify the environment variables before the mesop command.
```sh
MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND=memory mesop main.py
```
### Use a .env file
Mesop also supports `.env` files. This is nice since you don't have to keep setting
the environment variables. In addition, the variables are only set when the application
is run.
```sh title=".env"
MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND=file
MESOP_STATE_SESSION_BACKEND_FILE_BASE_DIR=/tmp/mesop-sessions
```
When you run your Mesop app, the .env file will then be read.
```sh
mesop main.py
```

# Query Params API
## Overview
Query params, also sometimes called query string, provide a way to manage state in the URLs. They are useful for providing deep-links into your Mesop app.
## Example
Here's a simple working example that shows how you can read and write query params.
```py
@me.page(path="/examples/query_params/page_2")
def page_2():
me.text(f"query_params={me.query_params}")
me.button("Add query param", on_click=add_query_param)
me.button("Navigate", on_click=navigate)
def add_query_param(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.query_params["key"] = "value"
def navigate(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.navigate("/examples/query_params", query_params=me.query_params)
```
## Usage
You can use query parameters from `me.query_params`, which has a dictionary-like interface, where the key is the parameter name and value is the parameter value.
### Get a query param value
```py
value: str = me.query_params['param_name']
```
This will raise a KeyError if the parameter doesn't exist. You can use `in` to check whether a key exists in `me.query_params`:
```py
if 'key' in me.query_params:
print(me.query_params['key'])
```
???+ NOTE "Repeated query params"
If a query param key is repeated, then you will get the _first_ value. If you want all the values use `get_all`.
### Get all values
To get all the values for a particular query parameter key, you can use `me.query_params.get_all`, which returns a sequence of parameter values (currently implemented as a `tuple`).
```py
all_values = me.query_params.get_all('param_name')
```
### Iterate
```py
for key in query_params:
value = query_params[key]
```
### Set query param
```py
query_params['new_param'] = 'value'
```
### Set repeated query param
```py
query_params['repeated_param'] = ['value1', 'value2']
```
### Delete
```py
del query_params['param_to_delete']
```
## Patterns
### Navigate with existing query params
Here's an example of how to navigate to a new page with query parameters:
```py
def click_navigate_button(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.query_params['q'] = "value"
me.navigate('/search', query_params=me.query_params)
```
### Navigate with only new query params
You can also navigate by passing in a dictionary to `query_params` parameter for `me.navigate` if you do _not_ want to keep the existing query parameters.
```py
def click_navigate_button(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.navigate('/search', query_params={"q": "value})
```

# Viewport size
## Overview
The viewport size API allows you to access the current viewport size. This can be useful for creating responsive and adaptive designs that are suitable for the user's screen size.
## Examples
### Responsive Design
Responsive design is having a single fluid layout that adapts to all screen sizes.
You can use the viewport size to dynamically set the property of a style. This can be useful if you want to fit two boxes in a row for larger screens (e.g. desktop) and a single box for smaller screens (e.g. mobile) as shown in the example below:
```py
import mesop as me
@me.page()
def page():
if me.viewport_size().width > 640:
width = me.viewport_size().width / 2
else:
width = me.viewport_size().width
for i in range(8):
me.box(style=me.Style(width=width))
```
> Tip: Responsive design tends to take less work and is usually a good starting point.
### Adaptive Design
Adaptive design is having multiple fixed layouts for specific device categories at specific breakpoints, typically viewport width.
For example, oftentimes you will hide the nav component on a mobile device and instead show a hamburger menu, while for a larger device you will always show the nav component on the left side.
```py
import mesop as me
@me.page()
def page():
if me.viewport_size().width > 480:
nav_component()
body()
else:
body(show_menu_button=True)
```
> Tip: Adaptive design tends to take more work and is best for optimizing complex mobile and desktop experiences.
## API
### viewport_size
```python
def viewport_size() -> mesop.features.viewport_size.Size:
Returns the current viewport size.
Returns:
Size: The current viewport size.
```
### Size
```python
class Size(*, width: int, height: int) -> None:
Attributes:
width: The width of the viewport in pixels.
height: The height of the viewport in pixels.

# Theming
Mesop has early-stage support for theming so you can support light theme and dark theme in a Mesop application.
## Dark Theming
For an actual example of using Mesop's theming API to support light theme and dark theme, we will look at the labs [chat component](../components/chat.md) which itself is written all in Python built on top of lower-level Mesop components.
### Theme toggle button
Inside the chat component, we've defined an icon button to toggle the theme so users can switch between light and dark theme:
```py
def toggle_theme(e: me.ClickEvent):
if me.theme_brightness() == "light":
me.set_theme_mode("dark")
else:
me.set_theme_mode("light")
with me.content_button(
type="icon",
style=me.Style(position="absolute", right=0),
on_click=toggle_theme,
):
me.icon("light_mode" if me.theme_brightness() == "dark" else "dark_mode")
```
### Using theme colors
You could define custom style logic to explicitly set the color based on the theme:
```py
def container():
me.box(
style=me.Style(
background="white" if me.theme_brightness() == "light" else "black"
)
)
```
But this would be pretty tedious, so you can use theme variables like this:
```py
def container():
me.box(style=me.Style(background=me.theme_var("background")))
```
This will use the appropriate background color for light theme and dark theme.
### Default theme mode
Finally, we want to use the default theme mode to "system" which means we will use the user's preferences for whether they want dark theme or light theme. For many users, their operating systems will automatically switch to dark theme during night time.
> Note: Mesop currently defaults to light theme mode but will eventually default to system theme mode in the future.
On our demo page with the chat component, we have a page [on_load](../api/page.md#on_load) event handler defined like this:
```py
def on_load(e: me.LoadEvent):
me.set_theme_mode("system")
```
## Theme Density
You can set the visual density of the Material components. By default, Mesop uses the least visually dense setting, i.e.
```py
me.set_theme_density(0) # 0 is the least dense
```
You can configure the density as an integer from 0 (least dense) to -4 (most dense). For example, if you want a medium-dense UI, you can do the following:
```py
def on_load(e: me.LoadEvent):
me.set_theme_density(-2) # -2 is more dense than the default
@me.page(on_load=on_load)
def page():
...
```
## API
### set_theme_density
```python
def set_theme_density(density: Literal[0, -1, -2, -3, -4]) -> None:
Sets the theme density for the Material components in the application.
A higher density (more negative value) results in a more compact UI layout.
Args:
density: The desired theme density. It can be 0 (least dense),
-1, -2, -3, or -4 (most dense).
```
### set_theme_mode
```python
def set_theme_mode(theme_mode: Literal['system', 'light', 'dark']) -> None:
Sets the theme mode for the application.
Args:
theme_mode: The desired theme mode. It can be "system", "light", or "dark".
```
### theme_brightness
```python
def theme_brightness() -> Literal['light', 'dark']:
Returns the current theme brightness.
This function checks the current theme being used by the application
and returns whether it is "light" or "dark".
```

## Overview
The HTML component allows you to add custom HTML to your Mesop app.
There are two modes for rendering HTML components:
- `sanitized` (default), where the HTML is [sanitized by Angular](https://angular.dev/best-practices/security#sanitization-example) to remove potentially unsafe code like `<script>` and `<style>` for web security reasons.
- `sandboxed`, which allows rendering of `<script>` and `<style>` HTML content by using an iframe sandbox.
## Examples
<iframe class="component-demo" src="https://google.github.io/mesop/demo/?demo=html_demo" style="height: 200px"></iframe>
```python
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/html_demo")
def app():
me.text("Sanitized HTML")
me.html(
"""
Custom HTML
<a href="https://google.github.io/mesop/" target="_blank">mesop</a>
""",
mode="sanitized",
)
with me.box(style=me.Style(margin=me.Margin.symmetric(vertical=24))):
me.divider()
me.text("Sandboxed HTML")
me.html(
"hi<script>document.body.innerHTML = 'iamsandboxed'; </script>",
mode="sandboxed",
)
```
## API
### html
```python
def html(html: str = '', *, mode: Optional[Literal['sanitized', 'sandboxed']] = None, style: mesop.component_helpers.style.Style | None = None, key: str | None = None):
This function renders custom HTML in a secure way.
Args:
html: The HTML content to be rendered.
mode: Determines how the HTML is rendered. Mode can be either "sanitized" or "sandboxed".
If "sanitized" then potentially dangerous content like `<script>` and `<style>` are
stripped out. If "sandboxed", then all content is allowed, but rendered in an iframe for isolation.
style: The style to apply to the embed, such as width and height.
key: The component [key](../components/index.md#component-key).
```

# Scroll into view
If you want to scroll a component into the viewport, you can use `me.scroll_into_view` which scrolls the component with the specified key into the viewport.
## Example
```python
import time
import mesop as me
@me.stateclass
class State:
more_lines: int = 0
@me.page(path="/scroll_into_view")
def app():
me.button("Scroll to middle line", on_click=scroll_to_middle)
me.button("Scroll to bottom line", on_click=scroll_to_bottom)
me.button(
"Scroll to bottom line & generate lines",
on_click=scroll_to_bottom_and_generate_lines,
)
for _ in range(100):
me.text("Filler line")
me.text("middle_line", key="middle_line")
for _ in range(100):
me.text("Filler line")
me.text("bottom_line", key="bottom_line")
for _ in range(me.state(State).more_lines):
me.text("More lines")
def scroll_to_middle(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.scroll_into_view(key="middle_line")
def scroll_to_bottom(e: me.ClickEvent):
me.scroll_into_view(key="bottom_line")
def scroll_to_bottom_and_generate_lines(e: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
me.scroll_into_view(key="bottom_line")
yield
state.more_lines += 5
time.sleep(1)
yield
state.more_lines += 5
time.sleep(1)
yield
state.more_lines += 5
time.sleep(1)
yield
state.more_lines += 5
time.sleep(1)
yield
```
## API
### scroll_into_view
```python
def scroll_into_view(*, key: str) -> None:
Scrolls so the component specified by the key is in the viewport.
Args:
key: The unique identifier of the component to scroll to.
This key should be globally unique to prevent unexpected behavior.
If multiple components share the same key, the first component
instance found in the component tree will be scrolled to.
```

# Frequently Asked Questions
## General
### What kinds of apps is Mesop suited for?
Mesop is well-suited for ML/AI demos and internal tools because it enables developers without frontend experience to quickly build web apps. For use cases that prioritize developer experience and velocity, Mesop can be a good choice.
Demanding consumer-facing apps, which have strict requirements in terms of performance, custom UI components, and i18n/localization would not be a good fit for Mesop and other UI frameworks may be more suitable.
### How does Mesop compare to other Python UI frameworks?
We have written a [comparison](./comparison.md) doc to answer this question in-depth.
### Is Mesop production-ready?
Dozens of teams at Google have used Mesop to build demos and internal apps.
Although Mesop is pre-v1, we take backwards-compatibilty seriously and avoid backwards incompatible change. This is critical to us because many teams within Google rely on Mesop and we need to not break them.
Occasionally, we will do minor clean-up for our APIs, but we will provide warnings/deprecation notices and provide at least 1 release to migrate to the newer APIs.
### Which modules should I import from Mesop?
Only import from these two modules:
```py
import mesop as me
import mesop.labs as mel
```
All other modules are considered internal implementation details and may change without notice in future releases.
### Is Mesop an official Google product?
No, Mesop is not an official Google product and Mesop is a 20% project maintained by a small core team of Google engineers with contributions from the broader community.
## Deployment
### How do I share or deploy my Mesop app?
The best way to share your Mesop app is to deploy it to a cloud service. You can follow our [deployment guide](./guides/deployment.md) for step-by-step instructions to deploy to Google Cloud Run.
> Note: you should be able to deploy Mesop on any cloud service that takes a container. Please read the above deployment guide as it should be similar steps.

# Quickstart
Let's build a simple interactive Mesop app.
## Before you start
Make sure you've installed Mesop, otherwise please follow the [Installing Guide](./installing.md).
## Starter kit
The simplest way to get started with Mesop is to use the starter kit by running `mesop init`. You can also copy and paste the code.
```python
import time
import mesop as me
@me.stateclass
class State:
input: str
output: str
in_progress: bool
@me.page(path="/starter_kit")
def page():
with me.box(
style=me.Style(
background="#fff",
min_height="calc(100% - 48px)",
padding=me.Padding(bottom=16),
)
):
with me.box(
style=me.Style(
width="min(720px, 100%)",
margin=me.Margin.symmetric(horizontal="auto"),
padding=me.Padding.symmetric(
horizontal=16,
),
)
):

bottom=36,
),
)
):
me.text(
"Mesop Starter Kit",
style=me.Style(
font_size=36,
font_weight=700,
background="linear-gradient(90deg, #4285F4, #AA5CDB, #DB4437) text",

time.sleep(0.5)
yield "Example of streaming an output"
time.sleep(1)
yield "\n\nOutput: " + input
def output():
state = me.state(State)
if state.output or state.in_progress:
with me.box(
style=me.Style(
background="#F0F4F9",
padding=me.Padding.all(16),
border_radius=16,
margin=me.Margin(top=36),
)
):

position="sticky",
bottom=0,
padding=me.Padding.symmetric(vertical=16, horizontal=16),
width="100%",
background="#F0F4F9",
font_size=14,
)
):
me.html(
"Made with <a href='https://google.github.io/mesop/'>Mesop</a>",
)
```
## Running a Mesop app
Once you've created your Mesop app using the starter kit, you can run the Mesop app by running the following command in your terminal:
```sh
mesop main.py
```
> If you've named it something else, replace `main.py` with the filename of your Python module.
Open the URL printed in the terminal (i.e. http://localhost:32123) in the browser to see your Mesop app loaded.
## Hot reload
If you make changes to the code, the Mesop app should be automatically hot reloaded. This means that you can keep the `mesop` CLI command running in the background in your terminal and your UI will automatically be updated in the browser.

# Interactivity
This guide continues from the [event handlers guide](./event-handlers.md) and explains advanced interactivity patterns for dealing with common use cases such as calling a slow blocking API call or a streaming API call.
## Intermediate loading state
If you are calling a slow blocking API (e.g. several seconds) to provide a better user experience, you may want to introduce a custom loading indicator for a specific event.
> Note: Mesop has a built-in loading indicator at the top of the page for all events.
```python
import time
import mesop as me
def slow_blocking_api_call():
time.sleep(2)
return "foo"
@me.stateclass
class State:
data: str
is_loading: bool
def button_click(event: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.is_loading = True
yield
data = slow_blocking_api_call()
state.data = data
state.is_loading = False
yield
@me.page(path="/loading")
def main():
state = me.state(State)
if state.is_loading:
me.progress_spinner()
me.text(state.data)
me.button("Call API", on_click=button_click)
```
In this example, our event handler is a Python generator function. Each `yield` statement yields control back to the Mesop framework and executes a render loop which results in a UI update.
Before the first yield statement, we set `is_loading` to True on state so we can show a spinner while the user is waiting for the slow API call to complete.
Before the second (and final) yield statement, we set `is_loading` to False, so we can hide the spinner and then we add the result of the API call to state so we can display that to the user.
> Tip: you must have a yield statement as the last line of a generator event handler function. Otherwise, any code after the final yield will not be executed.
## Streaming
This example builds off the previous Loading example and makes our event handler a generator function so we can incrementally update the UI.
```python
from time import sleep
import mesop as me
def generate_str():
yield "foo"
sleep(1)
yield "bar"
@me.stateclass
class State:
string: str = ""
def button_click(action: me.ClickEvent):
state = me.state(State)
for val in generate_str():
state.string += val
yield
@me.page(path="/streaming")
def main():
state = me.state(State)
me.button("click", on_click=button_click)
me.text(text=f"{state.string}")
```
## Async
If you want to do multiple long-running operations concurrently, then we recommend you to use Python's `async` and `await`.
```python
import asyncio
import mesop as me
@me.page(path="/async_await")
def page():
s = me.state(State)
me.text("val1=" + s.val1)
me.text("val2=" + s.val2)
me.button("async with yield", on_click=click_async_with_yield)
me.button("async without yield", on_click=click_async_no_yield)
@me.stateclass
class State:
val1: str
val2: str
async def fetch_dummy_values():
# Simulate an asynchronous operation
await asyncio.sleep(2)
return "<async_value>"
async def click_async_with_yield(e: me.ClickEvent):
val1_task = asyncio.create_task(fetch_dummy_values())
val2_task = asyncio.create_task(fetch_dummy_values())
me.state(State).val1, me.state(State).val2 = await asyncio.gather(
val1_task, val2_task
)
yield
async def click_async_no_yield(e: me.ClickEvent):
val1_task = asyncio.create_task(fetch_dummy_values())
val2_task = asyncio.create_task(fetch_dummy_values())
me.state(State).val1, me.state(State).val2 = await asyncio.gather(
val1_task, val2_task
)
```
## Troubleshooting
### User input race condition
If you notice a race condition with user input (e.g. [input](../components/input.md) or [textarea](../components/textarea.md)) where sometimes the last few characters typed by the user is lost, you are probably unnecessarily setting the value of the component.
See the following example using this **anti-pattern** :warning::
```py title="Bad example: setting the value and using on_input"
@me.stateclass
class State:
input_value: str
def app():
state = me.state(State)
me.input(value=state.input_value, on_input=on_input)
def on_input(event: me.InputEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.input_value = event.value
```
The problem is that the input value now has a race condition because it's being set by two sources:
1. The server is setting the input value based on state.
2. The client is setting the input value based on what the user is typing.
There's several ways to fix this which are shown below.
#### Option 1: Use `on_blur` instead of `on_input`
You can use the `on_blur` event instead of `on_input` to only update the input value when the user loses focus on the input field.
This is also more performant because it sends much fewer network requests.
```py title="Good example: setting the value and using on_input"
@me.stateclass
class State:
input_value: str
def app():
state = me.state(State)
me.input(value=state.input_value, on_input=on_input)
def on_input(event: me.InputEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.input_value = event.value
```
#### Option 2: Do not set the input value from the server
If you don't need to set the input value from the server, then you can remove the `value` attribute from the input component.
```py title="Good example: not setting the value" hl_lines="7"
@me.stateclass
class State:
input_value: str
def app():
state = me.state(State)
me.input(on_input=on_input)
def on_input(event: me.InputEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.input_value = event.value
```
#### Option 3: Use two separate variables for initial and current input value
If you need set the input value from the server *and* you need to use `on_input`, then you can use two separate variables for the initial and current input value.
```py title="Good example: using two separate variables for initial and current input value" hl_lines="9"
@me.stateclass
class State:
initial_input_value: str = "initial_value"
current_input_value: str
@me.page()
def app():
state = me.state(State)
me.input(value=state.initial_input_value, on_input=on_input)
def on_input(event: me.InputEvent):
state = me.state(State)
state.current_input_value = event.value
```
