A Blocks app is not limited to a single data flow the way Interfaces are. Take a look at the demo below:
$code_reversible_flow
$demo_reversible_flow
Note that `num1` can act as input to `num2`, and also vice-versa! As your apps get more complex, you will have many data flows connecting various Components.
Here's an example of a "multi-step" demo, where the output of one model (a speech-to-text model) gets fed into the next model (a sentiment classifier).

Building With Blocks - Blocks And Event Listeners Guide
|
The event listeners you've seen so far have a single input component. If you'd like to have multiple input components pass data to the function, you have two options on how the function can accept input component values:
1. as a list of arguments, or
2. as a single dictionary of values, keyed by the component
Let's see an example of each:
$code_calculator_list_and_dict
Both `add()` and `sub()` take `a` and `b` as inputs. However, the syntax is different between these listeners.
1. To the `add_btn` listener, we pass the inputs as a list. The function `add()` takes each of these inputs as arguments. The value of `a` maps to the argument `num1`, and the value of `b` maps to the argument `num2`.
2. To the `sub_btn` listener, we pass the inputs as a set (note the curly brackets!). The function `sub()` takes a single dictionary argument `data`, where the keys are the input components, and the values are the values of those components.
It is a matter of preference which syntax you prefer! For functions with many input components, option 2 may be easier to manage.
$demo_calculator_list_and_dict

Function Input List vs Dict
|
https://gradio.app/guides/blocks-and-event-listeners
|
Building With Blocks - Blocks And Event Listeners Guide
|
Similarly, you may return values for multiple output components either as:
1. a list of values, or
2. a dictionary keyed by the component
Let's first see an example of (1), where we set the values of two output components by returning two values:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
food_box = gr.Number(value=10, label="Food Count")
status_box = gr.Textbox()
def eat(food):
if food > 0:
return food - 1, "full"
else:
return 0, "hungry"
gr.Button("Eat").click(
fn=eat,
inputs=food_box,
outputs=[food_box, status_box]
)
```
Above, each return statement returns two values corresponding to `food_box` and `status_box`, respectively.
**Note:** if your event listener has a single output component, you should **not** return it as a single-item list. This will not work, since Gradio does not know whether to interpret that outer list as part of your return value. You should instead just return that value directly.
Now, let's see option (2). Instead of returning a list of values corresponding to each output component in order, you can also return a dictionary, with the key corresponding to the output component and the value as the new value. This also allows you to skip updating some output components.
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
food_box = gr.Number(value=10, label="Food Count")
status_box = gr.Textbox()
def eat(food):
if food > 0:
return {food_box: food - 1, status_box: "full"}
else:
return {status_box: "hungry"}
gr.Button("Eat").click(
fn=eat,
inputs=food_box,
outputs=[food_box, status_box]
)
```
Notice how when there is no food, we only update the `status_box` element. We skipped updating the `food_box` component.
Dictionary returns are helpful when an event listener affects many components on return, or conditionally affects outputs and not others.
Keep in mind that with dictionary returns,

d_box` component.
Dictionary returns are helpful when an event listener affects many components on return, or conditionally affects outputs and not others.
Keep in mind that with dictionary returns, we still need to specify the possible outputs in the event listener.

The return value of an event listener function is usually the updated value of the corresponding output Component. Sometimes we want to update the configuration of the Component as well, such as the visibility. In this case, we return a new Component, setting the properties we want to change.
$code_blocks_essay_simple
$demo_blocks_essay_simple
See how we can configure the Textbox itself through a new `gr.Textbox()` method. The `value=` argument can still be used to update the value along with Component configuration. Any arguments we do not set will preserve their previous values.

Updating Component Configurations
|
https://gradio.app/guides/blocks-and-event-listeners
|
Building With Blocks - Blocks And Event Listeners Guide
|
In some cases, you may want to leave a component's value unchanged. Gradio includes a special function, `gr.skip()`, which can be returned from your function. Returning this function will keep the output component (or components') values as is. Let us illustrate with an example:
$code_skip
$demo_skip
Note the difference between returning `None` (which generally resets a component's value to an empty state) versus returning `gr.skip()`, which leaves the component value unchanged.
Tip: if you have multiple output components, and you want to leave all of their values unchanged, you can just return a single `gr.skip()` instead of returning a tuple of skips, one for each element.
|
Not Changing a Component's Value
|
https://gradio.app/guides/blocks-and-event-listeners
|
Building With Blocks - Blocks And Event Listeners Guide
|
You can also run events consecutively by using the `then` method of an event listener. This will run an event after the previous event has finished running. This is useful for running events that update components in multiple steps.
For example, in the chatbot example below, we first update the chatbot with the user message immediately, and then update the chatbot with the computer response after a simulated delay.
$code_chatbot_consecutive
$demo_chatbot_consecutive
The `.then()` method of an event listener executes the subsequent event regardless of whether the previous event raised any errors. If you'd like to only run subsequent events if the previous event executed successfully, use the `.success()` method, which takes the same arguments as `.then()`. Conversely, if you'd like to only run subsequent events if the previous event failed (i.e., raised an error), use the `.failure()` method. This is particularly useful for error handling workflows, such as displaying error messages or restoring previous states when an operation fails.

Often times, you may want to bind multiple triggers to the same function. For example, you may want to allow a user to click a submit button, or press enter to submit a form. You can do this using the `gr.on` method and passing a list of triggers to the `trigger`.
$code_on_listener_basic
$demo_on_listener_basic
You can use decorator syntax as well:
$code_on_listener_decorator
You can use `gr.on` to create "live" events by binding to the `change` event of components that implement it. If you do not specify any triggers, the function will automatically bind to all `change` event of all input components that include a `change` event (for example `gr.Textbox` has a `change` event whereas `gr.Button` does not).
$code_on_listener_live
$demo_on_listener_live
You can follow `gr.on` with `.then`, just like any regular event listener. This handy method should save you from having to write a lot of repetitive code!

If you want to set a Component's value to always be a function of the value of other Components, you can use the following shorthand:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
num1 = gr.Number()
num2 = gr.Number()
product = gr.Number(lambda a, b: a * b, inputs=[num1, num2])
```
This functionally the same as:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
num1 = gr.Number()
num2 = gr.Number()
product = gr.Number()
gr.on(
[num1.change, num2.change, demo.load],
lambda a, b: a * b,
inputs=[num1, num2],
outputs=product
)
```

Global state in Gradio apps is very simple: any variable created outside of a function is shared globally between all users.
This makes managing global state very simple and without the need for external services. For example, in this application, the `visitor_count` variable is shared between all users
```py
import gradio as gr
Shared between all users
visitor_count = 0
def increment_counter():
global visitor_count
visitor_count += 1
return visitor_count
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
number = gr.Textbox(label="Total Visitors", value="Counting...")
demo.load(increment_counter, inputs=None, outputs=number)
demo.launch()
```
This means that any time you do _not_ want to share a value between users, you should declare it _within_ a function. But what if you need to share values between function calls, e.g. a chat history? In that case, you should use one of the subsequent approaches to manage state.
|
Global State

https://gradio.app/guides/state-in-blocks
|
Building With Blocks - State In Blocks Guide
|
Gradio supports session state, where data persists across multiple submits within a page session. To reiterate, session data is _not_ shared between different users of your model, and does _not_ persist if a user refreshes the page to reload the Gradio app. To store data in a session state, you need to do three things:
1. Create a `gr.State()` object. If there is a default value to this stateful object, pass that into the constructor. Note that `gr.State` objects must be [deepcopy-able](https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html), otherwise you will need to use a different approach as described below.
2. In the event listener, put the `State` object as an input and output as needed.
3. In the event listener function, add the variable to the input parameters and the return value.
Let's take a look at a simple example. We have a simple checkout app below where you add items to a cart. You can also see the size of the cart.
$code_simple_state
Notice how we do this with state:
1. We store the cart items in a `gr.State()` object, initialized here to be an empty list.
2. When adding items to the cart, the event listener uses the cart as both input and output - it returns the updated cart with all the items inside.
3. We can attach a `.change` listener to cart, that uses the state variable as input as well.
You can think of `gr.State` as an invisible Gradio component that can store any kind of value. Here, `cart` is not visible in the frontend but is used for calculations.
The `.change` listener for a state variable triggers after any event listener changes the value of a state variable. If the state variable holds a sequence (like a `list`, `set`, or `dict`), a change is triggered if any of the elements inside change. If it holds an object or primitive, a change is triggered if the **hash** of the value changes. So if you define a custom class and create a `gr.State` variable that is an instance of that class, make sure that the the class includes a sensible `__

|
riggered if the **hash** of the value changes. So if you define a custom class and create a `gr.State` variable that is an instance of that class, make sure that the the class includes a sensible `__hash__` implementation.
The value of a session State variable is cleared when the user refreshes the page. The value is stored on in the app backend for 60 minutes after the user closes the tab (this can be configured by the `delete_cache` parameter in `gr.Blocks`).
Learn more about `State` in the [docs](https://gradio.app/docs/gradio/state).
**What about objects that cannot be deepcopied?**
As mentioned earlier, the value stored in `gr.State` must be [deepcopy-able](https://docs.python.org/3/library/copy.html). If you are working with a complex object that cannot be deepcopied, you can take a different approach to manually read the user's `session_hash` and store a global `dictionary` with instances of your object for each user. Here's how you would do that:
```py
import gradio as gr
class NonDeepCopyable:
def __init__(self):
from threading import Lock
self.counter = 0
self.lock = Lock() Lock objects cannot be deepcopied
def increment(self):
with self.lock:
self.counter += 1
return self.counter
Global dictionary to store user-specific instances
instances = {}
def initialize_instance(request: gr.Request):
instances[request.session_hash] = NonDeepCopyable()
return "Session initialized!"
def cleanup_instance(request: gr.Request):
if request.session_hash in instances:
del instances[request.session_hash]
def increment_counter(request: gr.Request):
if request.session_hash in instances:
instance = instances[request.session_hash]
return instance.increment()
return "Error: Session not initialized"
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
output = gr.Textbox(label="Status")
counter = gr.Number(label="Counter Value")
increment_btn = gr.Button("Increment Co

demo.load(initialize_instance, inputs=None, outputs=output)

demo.unload(cleanup_instance)
demo.launch()
```

Gradio also supports browser state, where data persists in the browser's localStorage even after the page is refreshed or closed. This is useful for storing user preferences, settings, API keys, or other data that should persist across sessions. To use local state:
1. Create a `gr.BrowserState` object. You can optionally provide an initial default value and a key to identify the data in the browser's localStorage.
2. Use it like a regular `gr.State` component in event listeners as inputs and outputs.
Here's a simple example that saves a user's username and password across sessions:
$code_browserstate
Note: The value stored in `gr.BrowserState` does not persist if the Grado app is restarted. To persist it, you can hardcode specific values of `storage_key` and `secret` in the `gr.BrowserState` component and restart the Gradio app on the same server name and server port. However, this should only be done if you are running trusted Gradio apps, as in principle, this can allow one Gradio app to access localStorage data that was created by a different Gradio app.

Elements within a `with gr.Row` clause will all be displayed horizontally. For example, to display two Buttons side by side:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row():
btn1 = gr.Button("Button 1")
btn2 = gr.Button("Button 2")
```
You can set every element in a Row to have the same height. Configure this with the `equal_height` argument.
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row(equal_height=True):
textbox = gr.Textbox()
btn2 = gr.Button("Button 2")
```
The widths of elements in a Row can be controlled via a combination of `scale` and `min_width` arguments that are present in every Component.
- `scale` is an integer that defines how an element will take up space in a Row. If scale is set to `0`, the element will not expand to take up space. If scale is set to `1` or greater, the element will expand. Multiple elements in a row will expand proportional to their scale. Below, `btn2` will expand twice as much as `btn1`, while `btn0` will not expand at all:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row():
btn0 = gr.Button("Button 0", scale=0)
btn1 = gr.Button("Button 1", scale=1)
btn2 = gr.Button("Button 2", scale=2)
```
- `min_width` will set the minimum width the element will take. The Row will wrap if there isn't sufficient space to satisfy all `min_width` values.
Learn more about Rows in the [docs](https://gradio.app/docs/row).
|
Rows

https://gradio.app/guides/controlling-layout

Building With Blocks - Controlling Layout Guide
|
Components within a Column will be placed vertically atop each other. Since the vertical layout is the default layout for Blocks apps anyway, to be useful, Columns are usually nested within Rows. For example:
$code_rows_and_columns
$demo_rows_and_columns
See how the first column has two Textboxes arranged vertically. The second column has an Image and Button arranged vertically. Notice how the relative widths of the two columns is set by the `scale` parameter. The column with twice the `scale` value takes up twice the width.
Learn more about Columns in the [docs](https://gradio.app/docs/column).
Fill Browser Height / Width
To make an app take the full width of the browser by removing the side padding, use `gr.Blocks(fill_width=True)`.
To make top level Components expand to take the full height of the browser, use `fill_height` and apply scale to the expanding Components.
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks(fill_height=True) as demo:
gr.Chatbot(scale=1)
gr.Textbox(scale=0)
```

Columns and Nesting

Some components support setting height and width. These parameters accept either a number (interpreted as pixels) or a string. Using a string allows the direct application of any CSS unit to the encapsulating Block element.
Below is an example illustrating the use of viewport width (vw):
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
im = gr.ImageEditor(width="50vw")
demo.launch()
```

Dimensions

You can also create Tabs using the `with gr.Tab('tab_name'):` clause. Any component created inside of a `with gr.Tab('tab_name'):` context appears in that tab. Consecutive Tab clauses are grouped together so that a single tab can be selected at one time, and only the components within that Tab's context are shown.
For example:
$code_blocks_flipper
$demo_blocks_flipper
Also note the `gr.Accordion('label')` in this example. The Accordion is a layout that can be toggled open or closed. Like `Tabs`, it is a layout element that can selectively hide or show content. Any components that are defined inside of a `with gr.Accordion('label'):` will be hidden or shown when the accordion's toggle icon is clicked.
Learn more about [Tabs](https://gradio.app/docs/tab) and [Accordions](https://gradio.app/docs/accordion) in the docs.

In order to provide a guided set of ordered steps, a controlled workflow, you can use the `Walkthrough` component with accompanying `Step` components.
The `Walkthrough` component has a visual style and user experience tailored for this usecase.
Authoring this component is very similar to `Tab`, except it is the app developers responsibility to progress through each step, by setting the appropriate ID for the parent `Walkthrough` which should correspond to an ID provided to an indvidual `Step`.

In some cases, you might want to define components before you actually render them in your UI. For instance, you might want to show an examples section using `gr.Examples` above the corresponding `gr.Textbox` input. Since `gr.Examples` requires as a parameter the input component object, you will need to first define the input component, but then render it later, after you have defined the `gr.Examples` object.
The solution to this is to define the `gr.Textbox` outside of the `gr.Blocks()` scope and use the component's `.render()` method wherever you'd like it placed in the UI.
Here's a full code example:
```python
input_textbox = gr.Textbox()
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
gr.Examples(["hello", "bonjour", "merhaba"], input_textbox)
input_textbox.render()
```
Similarly, if you have already defined a component in a Gradio app, but wish to unrender it so that you can define in a different part of your application, then you can call the `.unrender()` method. In the following example, the `Textbox` will appear in the third column:
```py
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row():
with gr.Column():
gr.Markdown("Row 1")
textbox = gr.Textbox()
with gr.Column():
gr.Markdown("Row 2")
textbox.unrender()
with gr.Column():
gr.Markdown("Row 3")
textbox.render()
demo.launch()
```

Did you know that apart from being a full-stack machine learning demo, a Gradio Blocks app is also a regular-old python function!?
This means that if you have a gradio Blocks (or Interface) app called `demo`, you can use `demo` like you would any python function.
So doing something like `output = demo("Hello", "friend")` will run the first event defined in `demo` on the inputs "Hello" and "friend" and store it
in the variable `output`.
If I put you to sleep 🥱, please bear with me! By using apps like functions, you can seamlessly compose Gradio apps.
The following section will show how.

Building With Blocks - Using Blocks Like Functions Guide

Let's say we have the following demo that translates english text to german text.
$code_english_translator
I already went ahead and hosted it in Hugging Face spaces at [gradio/english_translator](https://huggingface.co/spaces/gradio/english_translator).
You can see the demo below as well:
$demo_english_translator
Now, let's say you have an app that generates english text, but you wanted to additionally generate german text.
You could either:
1. Copy the source code of my english-to-german translation and paste it in your app.
2. Load my english-to-german translation in your app and treat it like a normal python function.
Option 1 technically always works, but it often introduces unwanted complexity.
Option 2 lets you borrow the functionality you want without tightly coupling our apps.
All you have to do is call the `Blocks.load` class method in your source file.
After that, you can use my translation app like a regular python function!
The following code snippet and demo shows how to use `Blocks.load`.
Note that the variable `english_translator` is my english to german app, but its used in `generate_text` like a regular function.
$code_generate_english_german
$demo_generate_english_german

Treating Blocks like functions
|
https://gradio.app/guides/using-blocks-like-functions
|
Building With Blocks - Using Blocks Like Functions Guide
|
If the app you are loading defines more than one function, you can specify which function to use
with the `fn_index` and `api_name` parameters.
In the code for our english to german demo, you'll see the following line:
```python
translate_btn.click(translate, inputs=english, outputs=german, api_name="translate-to-german")
```
The `api_name` gives this function a unique name in our app. You can use this name to tell gradio which
function in the upstream space you want to use:
```python
english_generator(text, api_name="translate-to-german")[0]["generated_text"]
```
You can also use the `fn_index` parameter.
Imagine my app also defined an english to spanish translation function.
In order to use it in our text generation app, we would use the following code:
```python
english_generator(text, fn_index=1)[0]["generated_text"]
```
Functions in gradio spaces are zero-indexed, so since the spanish translator would be the second function in my space,
you would use index 1.

How to control which function in the app to use
|
https://gradio.app/guides/using-blocks-like-functions
|
Building With Blocks - Using Blocks Like Functions Guide
|
We showed how treating a Blocks app like a regular python helps you compose functionality across different apps.
Any Blocks app can be treated like a function, but a powerful pattern is to `load` an app hosted on
[Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) prior to treating it like a function in your own app.
You can also load models hosted on the [Hugging Face Model Hub](https://huggingface.co/models) - see the [Using Hugging Face Integrations](/using_hugging_face_integrations) guide for an example.
Happy building! ⚒️

The `gr.HTML` component can also be used to create custom input components by triggering events. You will provide `js_on_load`, javascript code that runs when the component loads. The code has access to the `trigger` function to trigger events that Gradio can listen to, and the object `props` which has access to all the props of the component, including `value`.
$code_star_rating_events
$demo_star_rating_events
Take a look at the `js_on_load` code above. We add click event listeners to each star image to update the value via `props.value` when a star is clicked. This also re-renders the template to show the updated value. We also add a click event listener to the submit button that triggers the `submit` event. In our app, we listen to this trigger to run a function that outputs the `value` of the star rating.
You can update any other props of the component via `props.<prop_name>`, and trigger events via `trigger('<event_name>')`. The trigger event can also be send event data, e.g.
```js
trigger('event_name', { key: value, count: 123 });
```
This event data will be accessible the Python event listener functions via gr.EventData.
```python
def handle_event(evt: gr.EventData):
print(evt.key)
print(evt.count)
star_rating.event(fn=handle_event, inputs=[], outputs=[])
```
Keep in mind that event listeners attached in `js_on_load` are only attached once when the component is first rendered. If your component creates new elements dynamically that need event listeners, attach the event listener to a parent element that exists when the component loads, and check for the target. For example:
```js
element.addEventListener('click', (e) =>
if (e.target && e.target.matches('.child-element')) {
props.value = e.target.dataset.value;
}
);
```

Triggering Events and Custom Input Components
|
https://gradio.app/guides/custom_HTML_components
|
Building With Blocks - Custom_Html_Components Guide
|
If you are reusing the same HTML component in multiple places, you can create a custom component class by subclassing `gr.HTML` and setting default values for the templates and other arguments. Here's an example of creating a reusable StarRating component.
$code_star_rating_component
$demo_star_rating_component
Note: Gradio requires all components to accept certain arguments, such as `render`. You do not need
to handle these arguments, but you do need to accept them in your component constructor and pass
them to the parent `gr.HTML` class. Otherwise, your component may not behave correctly. The easiest
way is to add `**kwargs` to your `__init__` method and pass it to `super().__init__()`, just like in the code example above.
We've created several custom HTML components as reusable components as examples you can reference in [this directory](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/tree/main/gradio/components/custom_html_components).

To make your custom HTML component work with Gradio's built-in support for API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) usage, you need to define how its data should be serialized. There are two ways to do this:
**Option 1: Define an `api_info()` method**
Add an `api_info()` method that returns a JSON schema dictionary describing your component's data format. This is what we do in the StarRating class above.
**Option 2: Define a Pydantic data model**
For more complex data structures, you can define a Pydantic model that inherits from `GradioModel` or `GradioRootModel`:
```python
from gradio.data_classes import GradioModel, GradioRootModel
class MyComponentData(GradioModel):
items: List[str]
count: int
class MyComponent(gr.HTML):
data_model = MyComponentData
```
Use `GradioModel` when your data is a dictionary with named fields, or `GradioRootModel` when your data is a simple type (string, list, etc.) that doesn't need to be wrapped in a dictionary. By defining a `data_model`, your component automaticall

Keep in mind that using `gr.HTML` to create custom components involves injecting raw HTML and JavaScript into your Gradio app. Be cautious about using untrusted user input into `html_template` and `js_on_load`, as this could lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities.
You should also expect that any Python event listeners that take your `gr.HTML` component as input could have any arbitrary value passed to them, not just the values you expect the frontend to be able to set for `value`. Sanitize and validate user input appropriately in public applications.

Gradio themes are the easiest way to customize the look and feel of your app. You can choose from a variety of themes, or create your own. To do so, pass the `theme=` kwarg to the `launch()` method of the `Blocks` constructor. For example:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
... your code here
demo.launch(theme=gr.themes.Glass())
...
```
Gradio comes with a set of prebuilt themes which you can load from `gr.themes.*`. You can extend these themes or create your own themes from scratch - see the [Theming guide](/guides/theming-guide) for more details.
For additional styling ability, you can pass any CSS to your app as a string using the `css=` kwarg in the `launch()` method. You can also pass a pathlib.Path to a css file or a list of such paths to the `css_paths=` kwarg in the `launch()` method.
**Warning**: The use of query selectors in custom JS and CSS is _not_ guaranteed to work across Gradio versions that bind to Gradio's own HTML elements as the Gradio HTML DOM may change. We recommend using query selectors sparingly.
The base class for the Gradio app is `gradio-container`, so here's an example that changes the background color of the Gradio app:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
... your code here
demo.launch(css=".gradio-container {background-color: red}")
...
```
If you'd like to reference external files in your css, preface the file path (which can be a relative or absolute path) with `"/gradio_api/file="`, for example:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
... your code here
demo.launch(css=".gradio-container {background: url('/gradio_api/file=clouds.jpg')}")
...
```
Note: By default, most files in the host machine are not accessible to users running the Gradio app. As a result, you should make sure that any referenced files (such as `clouds.jpg` here) are either URLs or [allowed paths, as described here](/main/guides/file-access).

Adding custom CSS to your demo
|
https://gradio.app/guides/custom-CSS-and-JS
|
Building With Blocks - Custom Css And Js Guide
|
You can `elem_id` to add an HTML element `id` to any component, and `elem_classes` to add a class or list of classes. This will allow you to select elements more easily with CSS. This approach is also more likely to be stable across Gradio versions as built-in class names or ids may change (however, as mentioned in the warning above, we cannot guarantee complete compatibility between Gradio versions if you use custom CSS as the DOM elements may themselves change).
```python
css = """
warning {background-color: FFCCCB}
.feedback textarea {font-size: 24px !important}
"""
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
box1 = gr.Textbox(value="Good Job", elem_classes="feedback")
box2 = gr.Textbox(value="Failure", elem_id="warning", elem_classes="feedback")
demo.launch(css=css)
```
The CSS `warning` ruleset will only target the second Textbox, while the `.feedback` ruleset will target both. Note that when targeting classes, you might need to put the `!important` selector to override the default Gradio styles.

There are 3 ways to add javascript code to your Gradio demo:
1. You can add JavaScript code as a string to the `js` parameter of the `Blocks` or `Interface` initializer. This will run the JavaScript code when the demo is first loaded.
Below is an example of adding custom js to show an animated welcome message when the demo first loads.
$code_blocks_js_load
$demo_blocks_js_load
2. When using `Blocks` and event listeners, events have a `js` argument that can take a JavaScript function as a string and treat it just like a Python event listener function. You can pass both a JavaScript function and a Python function (in which case the JavaScript function is run first) or only Javascript (and set the Python `fn` to `None`). Take a look at the code below:
$code_blocks_js_methods
$demo_blocks_js_methods
3. Lastly, you can add JavaScript code to the `head` param of the `Blocks` initializer. This will add the code to the head of the HTML document. For example, you can add Google Analytics to your demo like so:
```python
head = f"""
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id={google_analytics_tracking_id}"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){{dataLayer.push(arguments);}}
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', '{google_analytics_tracking_id}');
</script>
"""
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
gr.HTML("<h1>My App</h1>")
demo.launch(head=head)
```
The `head` parameter accepts any HTML tags you would normally insert into the `<head>` of a page. For example, you can also include `<meta>` tags to `head` in order to update the social sharing preview for your Gradio app like this:
```py
import gradio as gr
custom_head = """
<!-- HTML Meta Tags -->
<title>Sample App</title>
<meta name="description" content="An open-source web application showcasing various features and capabilities.">

with gr.Blocks(title="My App") as demo:
gr.HTML("<h1>My App</h1>")
demo.launch(head=custom_head)
```
Note that injecting custom JS can affect browser behavior and accessibility (e.g. keyboard shortcuts may be lead to unexpected behavior if your Gradio app is embedded in another webpage). You should test your interface across different browsers and be mindful of how scripts may interact with browser defaults. Here's an example where pressing `Shift + s` triggers the `click` event of a specific `Button` component if the browser focus is _not_ on an input component (e.g. `Textbox` component):
```python
import gradio as gr
shortcut_js = """
<script>
function shortcuts(e) {
var event = document.all ? window.event : e;
switch (e.target.tagName.toLowerCase()) {
case "input":
case "textarea":
break;
default:
if (e.key.toLowerCase() == "s" && e.shiftKey) {
document.getElementById("my_btn").click();
}
}
}

In the example below, we will create a variable number of Textboxes. When the user edits the input Textbox, we create a Textbox for each letter in the input. Try it out below:
$code_render_split_simple
$demo_render_split_simple
See how we can now create a variable number of Textboxes using our custom logic - in this case, a simple `for` loop. The `@gr.render` decorator enables this with the following steps:
1. Create a function and attach the @gr.render decorator to it.
2. Add the input components to the `inputs=` argument of @gr.render, and create a corresponding argument in your function for each component. This function will automatically re-run on any change to a component.
3. Add all components inside the function that you want to render based on the inputs.
Now whenever the inputs change, the function re-runs, and replaces the components created from the previous function run with the latest run. Pretty straightforward! Let's add a little more complexity to this app:
$code_render_split
$demo_render_split
By default, `@gr.render` re-runs are triggered by the `.load` listener to the app and the `.change` listener to any input component provided. We can override this by explicitly setting the triggers in the decorator, as we have in this app to only trigger on `input_text.submit` instead.
If you are setting custom triggers, and you also want an automatic render at the start of the app, make sure to add `demo.load` to your list of triggers.

Dynamic Number of Components
|

|
Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide
|
If you're creating components, you probably want to attach event listeners to them as well. Let's take a look at an example that takes in a variable number of Textbox as input, and merges all the text into a single box.
$code_render_merge_simple
$demo_render_merge_simple
Let's take a look at what's happening here:
1. The state variable `text_count` is keeping track of the number of Textboxes to create. By clicking on the Add button, we increase `text_count` which triggers the render decorator.
2. Note that in every single Textbox we create in the render function, we explicitly set a `key=` argument. This key allows us to preserve the value of this Component between re-renders. If you type in a value in a textbox, and then click the Add button, all the Textboxes re-render, but their values aren't cleared because the `key=` maintains the the value of a Component across a render.
3. We've stored the Textboxes created in a list, and provide this list as input to the merge button event listener. Note that **all event listeners that use Components created inside a render function must also be defined inside that render function**. The event listener can still reference Components outside the render function, as we do here by referencing `merge_btn` and `output` which are both defined outside the render function.
Just as with Components, whenever a function re-renders, the event listeners created from the previous render are cleared and the new event listeners from the latest run are attached.
This allows us to create highly customizable and complex interactions!
|
Dynamic Event Listeners
|
https://gradio.app/guides/dynamic-apps-with-render-decorator
|
Building With Blocks - Dynamic Apps With Render Decorator Guide
|
The `key=` argument is used to let Gradio know that the same component is being generated when your render function re-runs. This does two things:
1. The same element in the browser is re-used from the previous render for this Component. This gives browser performance gains - as there's no need to destroy and rebuild a component on a render - and preserves any browser attributes that the Component may have had. If your Component is nested within layout items like `gr.Row`, make sure they are keyed as well because the keys of the parents must also match.
2. Properties that may be changed by the user or by other event listeners are preserved. By default, only the "value" of Component is preserved, but you can specify any list of properties to preserve using the `preserved_by_key=` kwarg.
See the example below:
$code_render_preserve_key
$demo_render_preserve_key
You'll see in this example, when you change the `number_of_boxes` slider, there's a new re-render to update the number of box rows. If you click the "Change Label" buttons, they change the `label` and `info` properties of the corresponding textbox. You can also enter text in any textbox to change its value. If you change number of boxes after this, the re-renders "reset" the `info`, but the `label` and any entered `value` is still preserved.
Note you can also key any event listener, e.g. `button.click(key=...)` if the same listener is being recreated with the same inputs and outputs across renders. This gives performance benefits, and also prevents errors from occurring if an event was triggered in a previous render, then a re-render occurs, and then the previous event finishes processing. By keying your listener, Gradio knows where to send the data properly.

Closer Look at `keys=` parameter

Let's look at two examples that use all the features above. First, try out the to-do list app below:
$code_todo_list
$demo_todo_list
Note that almost the entire app is inside a single `gr.render` that reacts to the tasks `gr.State` variable. This variable is a nested list, which presents some complexity. If you design a `gr.render` to react to a list or dict structure, ensure you do the following:
1. Any event listener that modifies a state variable in a manner that should trigger a re-render must set the state variable as an output. This lets Gradio know to check if the variable has changed behind the scenes.
2. In a `gr.render`, if a variable in a loop is used inside an event listener function, that variable should be "frozen" via setting it to itself as a default argument in the function header. See how we have `task=task` in both `mark_done` and `delete`. This freezes the variable to its "loop-time" value.
Let's take a look at one last example that uses everything we learned. Below is an audio mixer. Provide multiple audio tracks and mix them together.
$code_audio_mixer
$demo_audio_mixer
Two things to note in this app:
1. Here we provide `key=` to all the components! We need to do this so that if we add another track after setting the values for an existing track, our input values to the existing track do not get reset on re-render.
2. When there are lots of components of different types and arbitrary counts passed to an event listener, it is easier to use the set and dictionary notation for inputs rather than list notation. Above, we make one large set of all the input `gr.Audio` and `gr.Slider` components when we pass the inputs to the `merge` function. In the function body we query the component values as a dict.
The `gr.render` expands gradio capabilities extensively - see what you can make out of it!

You can use `gr.DateTime` to accept input datetime data. This works well with plots for defining the x-axis range for the data.
$code_plot_guide_datetime
$demo_plot_guide_datetime
Note how `gr.DateTime` can accept a full datetime string, or a shorthand using `now - [0-9]+[smhd]` format to refer to a past time.
You will often have many time plots in which case you'd like to keep the x-axes in sync. The `DateTimeRange` custom component keeps a set of datetime plots in sync, and also uses the `.select` listener of plots to allow you to zoom into plots while keeping plots in sync.
Because it is a custom component, you first need to `pip install gradio_datetimerange`. Then run the following:
$code_plot_guide_datetimerange
$demo_plot_guide_datetimerange
Try zooming around in the plots and see how DateTimeRange updates. All the plots updates their `x_lim` in sync. You also have a "Back" link in the component to allow you to quickly zoom in and out.

In many cases, you're working with live, realtime date, not a static dataframe. In this case, you'd update the plot regularly with a `gr.Timer()`. Assuming there's a `get_data` method that gets the latest dataframe:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
timer = gr.Timer(5)
plot1 = gr.BarPlot(x="time", y="price")
plot2 = gr.BarPlot(x="time", y="price", color="origin")
timer.tick(lambda: [get_data(), get_data()], outputs=[plot1, plot2])
```
You can also use the `every` shorthand to attach a `Timer` to a component that has a function value:
```python
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
timer = gr.Timer(5)
plot1 = gr.BarPlot(get_data, x="time", y="price", every=timer)
plot2 = gr.BarPlot(get_data, x="time", y="price", color="origin", every=timer)
```

$demo_plot_guide_line
All plots have the same API, so you could swap this out with a `gr.ScatterPlot`:
$code_plot_guide_scatter
$demo_plot_guide_scatter
The y axis column in the dataframe should have a numeric type, but the x axis column can be anything from strings, numbers, categories, or datetimes.

When a user closes their browser tab, Gradio will automatically delete any `gr.State` variables associated with that user session after 60 minutes. If the user connects again within those 60 minutes, no state will be deleted.
You can control the deletion behavior further with the following two parameters of `gr.State`:
1. `delete_callback` - An arbitrary function that will be called when the variable is deleted. This function must take the state value as input. This function is useful for deleting variables from GPU memory.
2. `time_to_live` - The number of seconds the state should be stored for after it is created or updated. This will delete variables before the session is closed, so it's useful for clearing state for potentially long running sessions.

Additional Features - Resource Cleanup Guide

Your Gradio application will save uploaded and generated files to a special directory called the cache directory. Gradio uses a hashing scheme to ensure that duplicate files are not saved to the cache but over time the size of the cache will grow (especially if your app goes viral 😉).
Gradio can periodically clean up the cache for you if you specify the `delete_cache` parameter of `gr.Blocks()`, `gr.Interface()`, or `gr.ChatInterface()`.
This parameter is a tuple of the form `[frequency, age]` both expressed in number of seconds.
Every `frequency` seconds, the temporary files created by this Blocks instance will be deleted if more than `age` seconds have passed since the file was created.
For example, setting this to (86400, 86400) will delete temporary files every day if they are older than a day old.
Additionally, the cache will be deleted entirely when the server restarts.

Additionally, Gradio now includes a `Blocks.unload()` event, allowing you to run arbitrary cleanup functions when users disconnect (this does not have a 60 minute delay).
Unlike other gradio events, this event does not accept inputs or outptus.
You can think of the `unload` event as the opposite of the `load` event.

As the user interacts with the app, images are saved to disk in that special directory.
When the user closes the page, the images created in that session are deleted via the `unload` event.
The state and files in the cache are cleaned up automatically as well.

- **1. Static files**. You can designate static files or directories using the `gr.set_static_paths` function. Static files are not be copied to the Gradio cache (see below) and will be served directly from your computer. This can help save disk space and reduce the time your app takes to launch but be mindful of possible security implications as any static files are accessible to all useres of your Gradio app.
- **2. Files in the `allowed_paths` parameter in `launch()`**. This parameter allows you to pass in a list of additional directories or exact filepaths you'd like to allow users to have access to. (By default, this parameter is an empty list).
- **3. Files in Gradio's cache**. After you launch your Gradio app, Gradio copies certain files into a temporary cache and makes these files accessible to users. Let's unpack this in more detail below.

First, it's important to understand why Gradio has a cache at all. Gradio copies files to a cache directory before returning them to the frontend. This prevents files from being overwritten by one user while they are still needed by another user of your application. For example, if your prediction function returns a video file, then Gradio will move that video to the cache after your prediction function runs and returns a URL the frontend can use to show the video. Any file in the cache is available via URL to all users of your running application.
Tip: You can customize the location of the cache by setting the `GRADIO_TEMP_DIR` environment variable to an absolute path, such as `/home/usr/scripts/project/temp/`.
Files Gradio moves to the cache
Gradio moves three kinds of files into the cache
1. Files specified by the developer before runtime, e.g. cached examples, default values of components, or files passed into parameters such as the `avatar_images` of `gr.Chatbot`
2. File paths returned by a prediction function in your Gradio application, if they ALSO meet one of the conditions below:
* It is in the `allowed_paths` parameter of the `Blocks.launch` method.
* It is in the current working directory of the python interpreter.
* It is in the temp directory obtained by `tempfile.gettempdir()`.
**Note:** files in the current working directory whose name starts with a period (`.`) will not be moved to the cache, even if they are returned from a prediction function, since they often contain sensitive information.
If none of these criteria are met, the prediction function that is returning that file will raise an exception instead of moving the file to cache. Gradio performs this check so that arbitrary files on your machine cannot be accessed.
3. Files uploaded by a user to your Gradio app (e.g. through the `File` or `Image` input components).
Tip: If at any time Gradio blocks a file that you would like it to process, add its path to the `allowed_paths` p

While running, Gradio apps will NOT ALLOW users to access:
- **Files that you explicitly block via the `blocked_paths` parameter in `launch()`**. You can pass in a list of additional directories or exact filepaths to the `blocked_paths` parameter in `launch()`. This parameter takes precedence over the files that Gradio exposes by default, or by the `allowed_paths` parameter or the `gr.set_static_paths` function.
- **Any other paths on the host machine**. Users should NOT be able to access other arbitrary paths on the host.

Sharing your Gradio application will also allow users to upload files to your computer or server. You can set a maximum file size for uploads to prevent abuse and to preserve disk space. You can do this with the `max_file_size` parameter of `.launch`. For example, the following two code snippets limit file uploads to 5 megabytes per file.
```python
import gradio as gr
demo = gr.Interface(lambda x: x, "image", "image")
demo.launch(max_file_size="5mb")
or
demo.launch(max_file_size=5 * gr.FileSize.MB)
```

Uploading Files
|
https://gradio.app/guides/file-access
|
Additional Features - File Access Guide
|
* Set a `max_file_size` for your application.
* Do not return arbitrary user input from a function that is connected to a file-based output component (`gr.Image`, `gr.File`, etc.). For example, the following interface would allow anyone to move an arbitrary file in your local directory to the cache: `gr.Interface(lambda s: s, "text", "file")`. This is because the user input is treated as an arbitrary file path.
* Make `allowed_paths` as small as possible. If a path in `allowed_paths` is a directory, any file within that directory can be accessed. Make sure the entires of `allowed_paths` only contains files related to your application.
* Run your gradio application from the same directory the application file is located in. This will narrow the scope of files Gradio will be allowed to move into the cache. For example, prefer `python app.py` to `python Users/sources/project/app.py`.

Best Practices

Both `gr.set_static_paths` and the `allowed_paths` parameter in launch expect absolute paths. Below is a minimal example to display a local `.png` image file in an HTML block.
```txt
├── assets
│ └── logo.png
└── app.py
```
For the example directory structure, `logo.png` and any other files in the `assets` folder can be accessed from your Gradio app in `app.py` as follows:
```python
from pathlib import Path
import gradio as gr
gr.set_static_paths(paths=[Path.cwd().absolute()/"assets"])
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
gr.HTML("<img src='/gradio_api/file=assets/logo.png'>")
demo.launch()
```

You can initialize the `I18n` class with multiple language dictionaries to add custom translations:
```python
import gradio as gr
Create an I18n instance with translations for multiple languages
i18n = gr.I18n(
en={"greeting": "Hello, welcome to my app!", "submit": "Submit"},
es={"greeting": "¡Hola, bienvenido a mi aplicación!", "submit": "Enviar"},
fr={"greeting": "Bonjour, bienvenue dans mon application!", "submit": "Soumettre"}
)
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
Use the i18n method to translate the greeting
gr.Markdown(i18n("greeting"))
with gr.Row():
input_text = gr.Textbox(label="Input")
output_text = gr.Textbox(label="Output")
submit_btn = gr.Button(i18n("submit"))
Pass the i18n instance to the launch method
demo.launch(i18n=i18n)
```

When you use the `i18n` instance with a translation key, Gradio will show the corresponding translation to users based on their browser's language settings or the language they've selected in your app.
If a translation isn't available for the user's locale, the system will fall back to English (if available) or display the key itself.

Locale codes should follow the BCP 47 format (e.g., 'en', 'en-US', 'zh-CN'). The `I18n` class will warn you if you use an invalid locale code.

The following component properties typically support internationalization:
- `description`
- `info`
- `title`
- `placeholder`
- `value`
- `label`
Note that support may vary depending on the component, and some properties might have exceptions where internationalization is not applicable. You can check this by referring to the typehint for the parameter and if it contains `I18nData`, then it supports internationalization.

By default, Gradio automatically generates a navigation bar for multipage apps that displays all your pages with "Home" as the title for the main page. You can customize the navbar behavior using the `gr.Navbar` component.
Per-Page Navbar Configuration
You can have different navbar configurations for each page of your app:
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
Navbar for the main page
navbar = gr.Navbar(
visible=True,
main_page_name="Dashboard",
value=[("About", "https://example.com/about")]
)
gr.Textbox(label="Main page content")
with demo.route("Settings"):
Different navbar for the Settings page
navbar = gr.Navbar(
visible=True,
main_page_name="Home",
value=[("Documentation", "https://docs.example.com")]
)
gr.Textbox(label="Settings page")
demo.launch()
```
**Important Notes:**
- You can have one `gr.Navbar` component per page. Each page's navbar configuration is independent.
- The `main_page_name` parameter customizes the title of the home page link in the navbar.
- The `value` parameter allows you to add additional links to the navbar, which can be internal pages or external URLs.
- If no `gr.Navbar` component is present on a page, the default navbar behavior is used (visible with "Home" as the home page title).
- You can update the navbar properties using standard Gradio event handling, just like with any other component.
Here's an example that demonstrates the last point:

Gradio demos can be easily shared publicly by setting `share=True` in the `launch()` method. Like this:
```python
import gradio as gr
def greet(name):
return "Hello " + name + "!"
demo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs="textbox", outputs="textbox")
demo.launch(share=True) Share your demo with just 1 extra parameter 🚀
```
This generates a public, shareable link that you can send to anybody! When you send this link, the user on the other side can try out the model in their browser. Because the processing happens on your device (as long as your device stays on), you don't have to worry about any packaging any dependencies.
A share link usually looks something like this: **https://07ff8706ab.gradio.live**. Although the link is served through the Gradio Share Servers, these servers are only a proxy for your local server, and do not store any data sent through your app. Share links expire after 1 week. (it is [also possible to set up your own Share Server](https://github.com/huggingface/frp/) on your own cloud server to overcome this restriction.)
Tip: Keep in mind that share links are publicly accessible, meaning that anyone can use your model for prediction! Therefore, make sure not to expose any sensitive information through the functions you write, or allow any critical changes to occur on your device. Or you can [add authentication to your Gradio app](authentication) as discussed below.
Note that by default, `share=False`, which means that your server is only running locally. (This is the default, except in Google Colab notebooks, where share links are automatically created). As an alternative to using share links, you can use use [SSH port-forwarding](https://www.ssh.com/ssh/tunneling/example) to share your local server with specific users.

If you'd like to have a permanent link to your Gradio demo on the internet, use Hugging Face Spaces. [Hugging Face Spaces](http://huggingface.co/spaces/) provides the infrastructure to permanently host your machine learning model for free!
After you have [created a free Hugging Face account](https://huggingface.co/join), you have two methods to deploy your Gradio app to Hugging Face Spaces:
1. From terminal: run `gradio deploy` in your app directory. The CLI will gather some basic metadata, upload all the files in the current directory (respecting any `.gitignore` file that may be present in the root of the directory), and then launch your app on Spaces. To update your Space, you can re-run this command or enable the Github Actions option in the CLI to automatically update the Spaces on `git push`.
2. From your browser: Drag and drop a folder containing your Gradio model and all related files [here](https://huggingface.co/new-space). See [this guide how to host on Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/blog/gradio-spaces) for more information, or watch the embedded video:

You can add a button to your Gradio app that creates a unique URL you can use to share your app and all components **as they currently are** with others. This is useful for sharing unique and interesting generations from your application , or for saving a snapshot of your app at a particular point in time.
To add a deep link button to your app, place the `gr.DeepLinkButton` component anywhere in your app.
For the URL to be accessible to others, your app must be available at a public URL. So be sure to host your app like Hugging Face Spaces or use the `share=True` parameter when launching your app.
Let's see an example of how this works. Here's a simple Gradio chat ap that uses the `gr.DeepLinkButton` component. After a couple of messages, click the deep link button and paste it into a new browser tab to see the app as it is at that point in time.

Once you have hosted your app on Hugging Face Spaces (or on your own server), you may want to embed the demo on a different website, such as your blog or your portfolio. Embedding an interactive demo allows people to try out the machine learning model that you have built, without needing to download or install anything — right in their browser! The best part is that you can embed interactive demos even in static websites, such as GitHub pages.
There are two ways to embed your Gradio demos. You can find quick links to both options directly on the Hugging Face Space page, in the "Embed this Space" dropdown option:
Embedding with Web Components
Web components typically offer a better experience to users than IFrames. Web components load lazily, meaning that they won't slow down the loading time of your website, and they automatically adjust their height based on the size of the Gradio app.
To embed with Web Components:
1. Import the gradio JS library into into your site by adding the script below in your site (replace {GRADIO_VERSION} in the URL with the library version of Gradio you are using).
```html
<script
type="module"
src="https://gradio.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/{GRADIO_VERSION}/gradio.js"
></script>
```
2. Add
```html
<gradio-app src="https://$your_space_host.hf.space"></gradio-app>
```
element where you want to place the app. Set the `src=` attribute to your Space's embed URL, which you can find in the "Embed this Space" button. For example:
```html
<gradio-app
src="https://abidlabs-pytorch-image-classifier.hf.space"
></gradio-app>
```
<script>
fetch("https://pypi.org/pypi/gradio/json"
).then(r => r.json()
).then(obj => {
let v = obj.info.version;
content = document.querySelector('.prose');
content.innerHTML = content.innerHTML.replaceAll("{GRADIO_VERSION}", v);
});
</script>

=> {
let v = obj.info.version;
content = document.querySelector('.prose');
content.innerHTML = content.innerHTML.replaceAll("{GRADIO_VERSION}", v);
});
</script>
You can see examples of how web components look <a href="https://www.gradio.app">on the Gradio landing page</a>.
You can also customize the appearance and behavior of your web component with attributes that you pass into the `<gradio-app>` tag:
- `src`: as we've seen, the `src` attributes links to the URL of the hosted Gradio demo that you would like to embed
- `space`: an optional shorthand if your Gradio demo is hosted on Hugging Face Space. Accepts a `username/space_name` instead of a full URL. Example: `gradio/Echocardiogram-Segmentation`. If this attribute attribute is provided, then `src` does not need to be provided.
- `control_page_title`: a boolean designating whether the html title of the page should be set to the title of the Gradio app (by default `"false"`)
- `initial_height`: the initial height of the web component while it is loading the Gradio app, (by default `"300px"`). Note that the final height is set based on the size of the Gradio app.
- `container`: whether to show the border frame and information about where the Space is hosted (by default `"true"`)
- `info`: whether to show just the information about where the Space is hosted underneath the embedded app (by default `"true"`)
- `autoscroll`: whether to autoscroll to the output when prediction has finished (by default `"false"`)
- `eager`: whether to load the Gradio app as soon as the page loads (by default `"false"`)
- `theme_mode`: whether to use the `dark`, `light`, or default `system` theme mode (by default `"system"`)
- `render`: an event that is triggered once the embedded space has finished rendering.
Here's an example of how to use these attributes to create a Gradio app that does not lazy load and has an initial height of 0px.
```html
<gradio-app
space="gradio/Echocardiogram-Segmentation"
eager="true"
init

```html
<gradio-app
space="gradio/Echocardiogram-Segmentation"
eager="true"
initial_height="0px"
></gradio-app>
```
Here's another example of how to use the `render` event. An event listener is used to capture the `render` event and will call the `handleLoadComplete()` function once rendering is complete.
```html
<script>
function handleLoadComplete() {
console.log("Embedded space has finished rendering");
}
const gradioApp = document.querySelector("gradio-app");
gradioApp.addEventListener("render", handleLoadComplete);
</script>
```
_Note: While Gradio's CSS will never impact the embedding page, the embedding page can affect the style of the embedded Gradio app. Make sure that any CSS in the parent page isn't so general that it could also apply to the embedded Gradio app and cause the styling to break. Element selectors such as `header { ... }` and `footer { ... }` will be the most likely to cause issues._
Embedding with IFrames
To embed with IFrames instead (if you cannot add javascript to your website, for example), add this element:
```html
<iframe src="https://$your_space_host.hf.space"></iframe>
```
Again, you can find the `src=` attribute to your Space's embed URL, which you can find in the "Embed this Space" button.
Note: if you use IFrames, you'll probably want to add a fixed `height` attribute and set `style="border:0;"` to remove the border. In addition, if your app requires permissions such as access to the webcam or the microphone, you'll need to provide that as well using the `allow` attribute.

You can use almost any Gradio app as an API! In the footer of a Gradio app [like this one](https://huggingface.co/spaces/gradio/hello_world), you'll see a "Use via API" link.
This is a page that lists the endpoints that can be used to query the Gradio app, via our supported clients: either [the Python client](https://gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-python-client/), or [the JavaScript client](https://gradio.app/guides/getting-started-with-the-js-client/). For each endpoint, Gradio automatically generates the parameters and their types, as well as example inputs, like this.
The endpoints are automatically created when you launch a Gradio application. If you are using Gradio `Blocks`, you can also name each event listener, such as
```python
btn.click(add, [num1, num2], output, api_name="addition")
```
This will add and document the endpoint `/addition/` to the automatically generated API page. Read more about the [API page here](./view-api-page).

When a user makes a prediction to your app, you may need the underlying network request, in order to get the request headers (e.g. for advanced authentication), log the client's IP address, getting the query parameters, or for other reasons. Gradio supports this in a similar manner to FastAPI: simply add a function parameter whose type hint is `gr.Request` and Gradio will pass in the network request as that parameter. Here is an example:
```python
import gradio as gr
def echo(text, request: gr.Request):
if request:
print("Request headers dictionary:", request.headers)
print("IP address:", request.client.host)
print("Query parameters:", dict(request.query_params))
return text
io = gr.Interface(echo, "textbox", "textbox").launch()
```
Note: if your function is called directly instead of through the UI (this happens, for
example, when examples are cached, or when the Gradio app is called via API), then `request` will be `None`.
You should handle this case explicitly to ensure that your app does not throw any errors. That is why
we have the explicit check `if request`.

In some cases, you might have an existing FastAPI app, and you'd like to add a path for a Gradio demo.
You can easily do this with `gradio.mount_gradio_app()`.
Here's a complete example:
$code_custom_path
Note that this approach also allows you run your Gradio apps on custom paths (`http://localhost:8000/gradio` in the example above).

Password-protected app
You may wish to put an authentication page in front of your app to limit who can open your app. With the `auth=` keyword argument in the `launch()` method, you can provide a tuple with a username and password, or a list of acceptable username/password tuples; Here's an example that provides password-based authentication for a single user named "admin":
```python
demo.launch(auth=("admin", "pass1234"))
```
For more complex authentication handling, you can even pass a function that takes a username and password as arguments, and returns `True` to allow access, `False` otherwise.
Here's an example of a function that accepts any login where the username and password are the same:
```python
def same_auth(username, password):
return username == password
demo.launch(auth=same_auth)
```
If you have multiple users, you may wish to customize the content that is shown depending on the user that is logged in. You can retrieve the logged in user by [accessing the network request directly](accessing-the-network-request-directly) as discussed above, and then reading the `.username` attribute of the request. Here's an example:
```python
import gradio as gr
def update_message(request: gr.Request):
return f"Welcome, {request.username}"
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
m = gr.Markdown()
demo.load(update_message, None, m)
demo.launch(auth=[("Abubakar", "Abubakar"), ("Ali", "Ali")])
```
Note: For authentication to work properly, third party cookies must be enabled in your browser. This is not the case by default for Safari or for Chrome Incognito Mode.
If users visit the `/logout` page of your Gradio app, they will automatically be logged out and session cookies deleted. This allows you to add logout functionality to your Gradio app as well. Let's update the previous example to include a log out button:
```python
import gradio as gr
def update_message(request: gr.Request):
return f"Welcome, {request.username}"
with gr.Blocks() as

Let's update the previous example to include a log out button:
```python
import gradio as gr
def update_message(request: gr.Request):
return f"Welcome, {request.username}"
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
m = gr.Markdown()
logout_button = gr.Button("Logout", link="/logout")
demo.load(update_message, None, m)
demo.launch(auth=[("Pete", "Pete"), ("Dawood", "Dawood")])
```
By default, visiting `/logout` logs the user out from **all sessions** (e.g. if they are logged in from multiple browsers or devices, all will be signed out). If you want to log out only from the **current session**, add the query parameter `all_session=false` (i.e. `/logout?all_session=false`).
Note: Gradio's built-in authentication provides a straightforward and basic layer of access control but does not offer robust security features for applications that require stringent access controls (e.g. multi-factor authentication, rate limiting, or automatic lockout policies).
OAuth (Login via Hugging Face)
Gradio natively supports OAuth login via Hugging Face. In other words, you can easily add a _"Sign in with Hugging Face"_ button to your demo, which allows you to get a user's HF username as well as other information from their HF profile. Check out [this Space](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Wauplin/gradio-oauth-demo) for a live demo.
To enable OAuth, you must set `hf_oauth: true` as a Space metadata in your README.md file. This will register your Space
as an OAuth application on Hugging Face. Next, you can use `gr.LoginButton` to add a login button to
your Gradio app. Once a user is logged in with their HF account, you can retrieve their profile by adding a parameter of type
`gr.OAuthProfile` to any Gradio function. The user profile will be automatically injected as a parameter value. If you want
to perform actions on behalf of the user (e.g. list user's private repos, create repo, etc.), you can retrieve the user
token by adding a parameter of type `gr.OAuthToken`. You must def

e. If you want
to perform actions on behalf of the user (e.g. list user's private repos, create repo, etc.), you can retrieve the user
token by adding a parameter of type `gr.OAuthToken`. You must define which scopes you will use in your Space metadata
(see [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-oauthscopes) for more details).
Here is a short example:
$code_login_with_huggingface
When the user clicks on the login button, they get redirected in a new page to authorize your Space.
<center>
<img src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/gradio-guides/oauth_sign_in.png" style="width:300px; max-width:80%">
</center>
Users can revoke access to their profile at any time in their [settings](https://huggingface.co/settings/connected-applications).
As seen above, OAuth features are available only when your app runs in a Space. However, you often need to test your app
locally before deploying it. To test OAuth features locally, your machine must be logged in to Hugging Face. Please run `huggingface-cli login` or set `HF_TOKEN` as environment variable with one of your access token. You can generate a new token in your settings page (https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens). Then, clicking on the `gr.LoginButton` will log in to your local Hugging Face profile, allowing you to debug your app with your Hugging Face account before deploying it to a Space.
**Security Note**: It is important to note that adding a `gr.LoginButton` does not restrict users from using your app, in the same way that adding [username-password authentication](/guides/sharing-your-apppassword-protected-app) does. This means that users of your app who have not logged in with Hugging Face can still access and run events in your Gradio app -- the difference is that the `gr.OAuthProfile` or `gr.OAuthToken` will be `None` in the corresponding functions.
OAuth (with external providers)
It is also possible to authenticate with external OAuth pr

erence is that the `gr.OAuthProfile` or `gr.OAuthToken` will be `None` in the corresponding functions.
OAuth (with external providers)
It is also possible to authenticate with external OAuth providers (e.g. Google OAuth) in your Gradio apps. To do this, first mount your Gradio app within a FastAPI app ([as discussed above](mounting-within-another-fast-api-app)). Then, you must write an *authentication function*, which gets the user's username from the OAuth provider and returns it. This function should be passed to the `auth_dependency` parameter in `gr.mount_gradio_app`.
Similar to [FastAPI dependency functions](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/dependencies/), the function specified by `auth_dependency` will run before any Gradio-related route in your FastAPI app. The function should accept a single parameter: the FastAPI `Request` and return either a string (representing a user's username) or `None`. If a string is returned, the user will be able to access the Gradio-related routes in your FastAPI app.
First, let's show a simplistic example to illustrate the `auth_dependency` parameter:
```python
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
import gradio as gr
app = FastAPI()
def get_user(request: Request):
return request.headers.get("user")
demo = gr.Interface(lambda s: f"Hello {s}!", "textbox", "textbox")
app = gr.mount_gradio_app(app, demo, path="/demo", auth_dependency=get_user)
if __name__ == '__main__':

In this example, only requests that include a "user" header will be allowed to access the Gradio app. Of course, this does not add much security, since any user can add this header in their request.

Gradio apps can function as MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, allowing LLMs to use your app's functions as tools. By simply setting `mcp_server=True` in the `.launch()` method, Gradio automatically converts your app's functions into MCP tools that can be called by MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline. The server exposes tools based on your function names, docstrings, and type hints, and can handle file uploads, authentication headers, and progress updates. You can also create MCP-only functions using `gr.api` and expose resources and prompts using decorators. For a comprehensive guide on building MCP servers with Gradio, see [Building an MCP Server with Gradio](https://www.gradio.app/guides/building-mcp-server-with-gradio).

When publishing your app publicly, and making it available via API or via MCP server, you might want to set rate limits to prevent users from abusing your app. You can identify users using their IP address (using the `gr.Request` object [as discussed above](accessing-the-network-request-directly)) or, if they are logged in via Hugging Face OAuth, using their username. To see a complete example of how to set rate limits, please see [this Gradio app](https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/blob/main/demo/rate_limit/run.py).

By default, Gradio collects certain analytics to help us better understand the usage of the `gradio` library. This includes the following information:
* What environment the Gradio app is running on (e.g. Colab Notebook, Hugging Face Spaces)
* What input/output components are being used in the Gradio app
* Whether the Gradio app is utilizing certain advanced features, such as `auth` or `show_error`
* The IP address which is used solely to measure the number of unique developers using Gradio
* The version of Gradio that is running
No information is collected from _users_ of your Gradio app. If you'd like to disable analytics altogether, you can do so by setting the `analytics_enabled` parameter to `False` in `gr.Blocks`, `gr.Interface`, or `gr.ChatInterface`. Or, you can set the GRADIO_ANALYTICS_ENABLED environment variable to `"False"` to apply this to all Gradio apps created across your system.
*Note*: this reflects the analytics policy as of `gradio>=4.32.0`.

[Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps) are web applications that are regular web pages or websites, but can appear to the user like installable platform-specific applications.
Gradio apps can be easily served as PWAs by setting the `pwa=True` parameter in the `launch()` method. Here's an example:
```python
import gradio as gr
def greet(name):
return "Hello " + name + "!"
demo = gr.Interface(fn=greet, inputs="textbox", outputs="textbox")
demo.launch(pwa=True) Launch your app as a PWA
```
This will generate a PWA that can be installed on your device. Here's how it looks:
When you specify `favicon_path` in the `launch()` method, the icon will be used as the app's icon. Here's an example:
```python
demo.launch(pwa=True, favicon_path="./hf-logo.svg") Use a custom icon for your PWA
```

Gradio can stream audio and video directly from your generator function.
This lets your user hear your audio or see your video nearly as soon as it's `yielded` by your function.
All you have to do is
1. Set `streaming=True` in your `gr.Audio` or `gr.Video` output component.
2. Write a python generator that yields the next "chunk" of audio or video.
3. Set `autoplay=True` so that the media starts playing automatically.
For audio, the next "chunk" can be either an `.mp3` or `.wav` file or a `bytes` sequence of audio.
For video, the next "chunk" has to be either `.mp4` file or a file with `h.264` codec with a `.ts` extension.
For smooth playback, make sure chunks are consistent lengths and larger than 1 second.
We'll finish with some simple examples illustrating these points.
Streaming Audio
```python
import gradio as gr
from time import sleep
def keep_repeating(audio_file):
for _ in range(10):
sleep(0.5)
yield audio_file
gr.Interface(keep_repeating,
gr.Audio(sources=["microphone"], type="filepath"),
gr.Audio(streaming=True, autoplay=True)
).launch()
```
Streaming Video
```python
import gradio as gr
from time import sleep
def keep_repeating(video_file):
for _ in range(10):
sleep(0.5)
yield video_file
gr.Interface(keep_repeating,
gr.Video(sources=["webcam"], format="mp4"),
gr.Video(streaming=True, autoplay=True)
).launch()
```

Let's create a demo where a user can choose a filter to apply to their webcam stream. Users can choose from an edge-detection filter, a cartoon filter, or simply flipping the stream vertically.
$code_streaming_filter
$demo_streaming_filter
You will notice that if you change the filter value it will immediately take effect in the output stream. That is an important difference of stream events in comparison to other Gradio events. The input values of the stream can be changed while the stream is being processed.
Tip: We set the "streaming" parameter of the image output component to be "True". Doing so lets the server automatically convert our output images into base64 format, a format that is efficient for streaming.

For some image streaming demos, like the one above, we don't need to display separate input and output components. Our app would look cleaner if we could just display the modified output stream.
We can do so by just specifying the input image component as the output of the stream event.

Your streaming function should be stateless. It should take the current input and return its corresponding output. However, there are cases where you may want to keep track of past inputs or outputs. For example, you may want to keep a buffer of the previous `k` inputs to improve the accuracy of your transcription demo. You can do this with Gradio's `gr.State()` component.
Let's showcase this with a sample demo:
```python
def transcribe_handler(current_audio, state, transcript):
next_text = transcribe(current_audio, history=state)
state.append(current_audio)
state = state[-3:]
return state, transcript + next_text
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row():
with gr.Column():
mic = gr.Audio(sources="microphone")
state = gr.State(value=[])
with gr.Column():
transcript = gr.Textbox(label="Transcript")
mic.stream(transcribe_handler, [mic, state, transcript], [state, transcript],
time_limit=10, stream_every=1)
demo.launch()
```

Client side functions are ideal for updating component properties (like visibility, placeholders, interactive state, or styling).
Here's a basic example:
```py
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
with gr.Row() as row:
btn = gr.Button("Hide this row")
This function runs in the browser without a server roundtrip
btn.click(
lambda: gr.Row(visible=False),
None,
row,
js=True
)
demo.launch()
```
|
When to Use Client Side Functions
|
https://gradio.app/guides/client-side-functions
|
Additional Features - Client Side Functions Guide
|
Client side functions have some important restrictions:
* They can only update component properties (not values)
* They cannot take any inputs
Here are some functions that will work with `js=True`:
```py
Simple property updates
lambda: gr.Textbox(lines=4)
Multiple component updates
lambda: [gr.Textbox(lines=4), gr.Button(interactive=False)]
Using gr.update() for property changes
lambda: gr.update(visible=True, interactive=False)
```
We are working to increase the space of functions that can be transpiled to JavaScript so that they can be run in the browser. [Follow the Groovy library for more info](https://github.com/abidlabs/groovy-transpiler).

When you set `js=True`, Gradio:
1. Transpiles your Python function to JavaScript
2. Runs the function directly in the browser
3. Still sends the request to the server (for consistency and to handle any side effects)
This provides immediate visual feedback while ensuring your application state remains consistent.

By default, each event listener has its own queue, which handles one request at a time. This can be configured via two arguments:
- `concurrency_limit`: This sets the maximum number of concurrent executions for an event listener. By default, the limit is 1 unless configured otherwise in `Blocks.queue()`. You can also set it to `None` for no limit (i.e., an unlimited number of concurrent executions). For example:
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
prompt = gr.Textbox()
image = gr.Image()
generate_btn = gr.Button("Generate Image")
generate_btn.click(image_gen, prompt, image, concurrency_limit=5)
```
In the code above, up to 5 requests can be processed simultaneously for this event listener. Additional requests will be queued until a slot becomes available.
If you want to manage multiple event listeners using a shared queue, you can use the `concurrency_id` argument:
- `concurrency_id`: This allows event listeners to share a queue by assigning them the same ID. For example, if your setup has only 2 GPUs but multiple functions require GPU access, you can create a shared queue for all those functions. Here's how that might look:
```python
import gradio as gr
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
prompt = gr.Textbox()
image = gr.Image()
generate_btn_1 = gr.Button("Generate Image via model 1")
generate_btn_2 = gr.Button("Generate Image via model 2")
generate_btn_3 = gr.Button("Generate Image via model 3")
generate_btn_1.click(image_gen_1, prompt, image, concurrency_limit=2, concurrency_id="gpu_queue")
generate_btn_2.click(image_gen_2, prompt, image, concurrency_id="gpu_queue")
generate_btn_3.click(image_gen_3, prompt, image, concurrency_id="gpu_queue")
```
In this example, all three event listeners share a queue identified by `"gpu_queue"`. The queue can handle up to 2 concurrent requests at a time, as defined by the `concurrency_limit`.
Notes
- To ensure unlimited concurrency for an event listener, se

identified by `"gpu_queue"`. The queue can handle up to 2 concurrent requests at a time, as defined by the `concurrency_limit`.
Notes
- To ensure unlimited concurrency for an event listener, set `concurrency_limit=None`. This is useful if your function is calling e.g. an external API which handles the rate limiting of requests itself.
- The default concurrency limit for all queues can be set globally using the `default_concurrency_limit` parameter in `Blocks.queue()`.
These configurations make it easy to manage the queuing behavior of your Gradio app.
