New to Gradio? Start here: Getting Started

To install Gradio from main, run the following command:

pip install https://gradio-builds.s3.amazonaws.com/a26030d1fa39ffc75ce53d4285caa98eeb1dc13a/gradio-4.32.1-py3-none-any.whl

*Note: Setting share=True in launch() will not work.

State

gradio.State(···)

Description

A base class for defining methods that all input/output components should have.

Behavior

As input component: Passes a value of arbitrary type through.

Your function should accept one of these types:

def predict(
	value: Any
)
	...

As output component: Expects a value of arbitrary type, as long as it can be deepcopied.

Your function should return one of these types:

def predict(···) -> Any
	...	
	return value

Initialization

Parameter	Description
`value` Any default: None	the initial value (of arbitrary type) of the state. The provided argument is deepcopied. If a callable is provided, the function will be called whenever the app loads to set the initial value of the state.
`render` bool default: True	has no effect, but is included for consistency with other components.
`time_to_live` int \| float \| None default: None	The number of seconds the state should be stored for after it is created or updated. If None, the state will be stored indefinitely. Gradio automatically deletes state variables after a user closes the browser tab or refreshes the page, so this is useful for clearing state for potentially long running sessions.
`delete_callback` Callable[[Any], None] \| None default: None	A function that is called when the state is deleted. The function should take the state value as an argument.

Event Listeners

Description

Event listeners allow you to capture and respond to user interactions with the UI components you've defined in a Gradio Blocks app. When a user interacts with an element, such as changing a slider value or uploading an image, a function is called.

Supported Event Listeners

The State component supports the following event listeners. Each event listener takes the same parameters, which are listed in the Event Arguments table below.

Listener	Description
`State.change(fn, ···)`	Triggered when the value of the State changes either because of user input (e.g. a user types in a textbox) OR because of a function update (e.g. an image receives a value from the output of an event trigger). See `.input()` for a listener that is only triggered by user input.

Event Arguments

Parameter	Description
`fn` Callable \| None \| Literal['decorator'] default: "decorator"	the function to call when this event is triggered. Often a machine learning model's prediction function. Each parameter of the function corresponds to one input component, and the function should return a single value or a tuple of values, with each element in the tuple corresponding to one output component.
`inputs` Component \| list[Component] \| set[Component] \| None default: None	List of gradio.components to use as inputs. If the function takes no inputs, this should be an empty list.
`outputs` Block \| list[Block] \| list[Component] \| None default: None	List of gradio.components to use as outputs. If the function returns no outputs, this should be an empty list.
`api_name` str \| None \| Literal[False] default: None	defines how the endpoint appears in the API docs. Can be a string, None, or False. If set to a string, the endpoint will be exposed in the API docs with the given name. If None (default), the name of the function will be used as the API endpoint. If False, the endpoint will not be exposed in the API docs and downstream apps (including those that `gr.load` this app) will not be able to use this event.
`scroll_to_output` bool default: False	If True, will scroll to output component on completion
`show_progress` Literal[('full', 'minimal', 'hidden')] default: "full"	If True, will show progress animation while pending
`queue` bool default: True	If True, will place the request on the queue, if the queue has been enabled. If False, will not put this event on the queue, even if the queue has been enabled. If None, will use the queue setting of the gradio app.
`batch` bool default: False	If True, then the function should process a batch of inputs, meaning that it should accept a list of input values for each parameter. The lists should be of equal length (and be up to length `max_batch_size`). The function is then required to return a tuple of lists (even if there is only 1 output component), with each list in the tuple corresponding to one output component.
`max_batch_size` int default: 4	Maximum number of inputs to batch together if this is called from the queue (only relevant if batch=True)
`preprocess` bool default: True	If False, will not run preprocessing of component data before running 'fn' (e.g. leaving it as a base64 string if this method is called with the `Image` component).
`postprocess` bool default: True	If False, will not run postprocessing of component data before returning 'fn' output to the browser.
`cancels` dict[str, Any] \| list[dict[str, Any]] \| None default: None	A list of other events to cancel when this listener is triggered. For example, setting cancels=[click_event] will cancel the click_event, where click_event is the return value of another components .click method. Functions that have not yet run (or generators that are iterating) will be cancelled, but functions that are currently running will be allowed to finish.
`every` float \| None default: None	Run this event 'every' number of seconds while the client connection is open. Interpreted in seconds.
`trigger_mode` Literal[('once', 'multiple', 'always_last')] \| None default: None	If "once" (default for all events except `.change()`) would not allow any submissions while an event is pending. If set to "multiple", unlimited submissions are allowed while pending, and "always_last" (default for `.change()` and `.key_up()` events) would allow a second submission after the pending event is complete.
`js` str \| None default: None	Optional frontend js method to run before running 'fn'. Input arguments for js method are values of 'inputs' and 'outputs', return should be a list of values for output components.
`concurrency_limit` int \| None \| Literal['default'] default: "default"	If set, this is the maximum number of this event that can be running simultaneously. Can be set to None to mean no concurrency_limit (any number of this event can be running simultaneously). Set to "default" to use the default concurrency limit (defined by the `default_concurrency_limit` parameter in `Blocks.queue()`, which itself is 1 by default).
`concurrency_id` str \| None default: None	If set, this is the id of the concurrency group. Events with the same concurrency_id will be limited by the lowest set concurrency_limit.
`show_api` bool default: True	whether to show this event in the "view API" page of the Gradio app, or in the ".view_api()" method of the Gradio clients. Unlike setting api_name to False, setting show_api to False will still allow downstream apps as well as the Clients to use this event. If fn is None, show_api will automatically be set to False.
