Streamlit Button Group Component

This is a custom Streamlit button group component that allows you to create groups of buttons with various options and styles.

Installation

1. Install the required dependencies with pip install st-btn-group.

Usage

First, import the st_btn_group function from the st_btn_group package:

from st_btn_group import st_btn_group

Then, use the st_btn_group function to create a button group:

st_btn_group(
    buttons=[{"label": "Button 1", "value": "1"}, {"label": "Button 2", "value": "2"}],   
)    

Parameters

The st_btn_group function accepts the following parameters:

• mode: The mode of the buttons. The input must be a string. Possible values are default, checkbox, radio.

  • If default, the buttons will behave like normal buttons.

  • If checkbox, the buttons will behave like checkboxes. The value of the button will be returned as a list of values when the button is clicked.

  • If radio, the buttons will behave like radio buttons. The value of the button will be returned as a single value when the button is clicked. The button will keep a selected state when clicked. To unselect the button, click on it again.

• buttons: A list of dictionaries containing the buttons to be displayed in the group. Each dictionary must contain a label and a value key. The label key is used to display the button's label, while the value key is used to identify the button when it is clicked. The value key can be anything.

  • Possible parameters (keys of the dictionary) for each button are:

    • label: The label of the button. This is the only required parameter. HTMLS tags are allowed. FontAwesome Icons will be display if integrated over html tags. For example, <i class="fas fa-home"></i> Home.

    • value: The value of the button. This is the value that will be returned when the button is clicked. If not specified, the label value will be used.

    • style: The style of the button. The input must be a dictionary like this one {"color": "red", "font-size": "20px"}

    • disabled: Whether the button is disabled or not. The input must be a boolean.

    • onClick: A JavaScript Function as string that will be executed when the button is clicked. For example, onClick="alert("clicked")".

    • startEnhancer: A string that will be displayed before the button's label. For example, startEnhancer="<i class="fas fa-home"></i>".

    • endEnhancer: A string that will be displayed after the button's label. For example, endEnhancer="<i class="fas fa-home"></i>".

    • download_file: Functionality to download a file directly when the button gets clicked without a callback to Streamlit. The input must be a dictionary like this one {"filename": "file.xlsx", "data": base64 data, "mime_type": "mime Typ" (optional)}. The mime_type is optional and will be guess using the file extension of the filename. The data must be base64 encoded. You can use the base64 library to encode your data. For example, base64.b64encode(data.encode()).decode().

• Example:

st_btn_group(
    buttons=[
        {
            "label": "Button 1",
            "value": "1",
            "style": {"color": "red", "font-size": "20px"},
            "disabled": True,
            "onClick": "alert('clicked')",
            "startEnhancer": "<i class='fas fa-home'></i>",
            "endEnhancer": "<i class='fas fa-home'></i>",
            "download_file": {
                "filename": "file.xlsx",
                "data": base64.b64encode(data.encode()).decode(),
                "mime_type": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet",
            },
        },
        {"label": "Button 2", "value": "2"},
    ],
)
