# `gradio_textboxplus`
| name | type | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|
value |
```python str | I18nData | Callable | None ``` | None |
text to show in textbox. If a function is provided, the function will be called each time the app loads to set the initial value of this component. |
type |
```python Literal["text", "password", "email"] ``` | "text" |
The type of textbox. One of: 'text' (which allows users to enter any text), 'password' (which masks text entered by the user), 'email' (which suggests email input to the browser). For "password" and "email" types, `lines` must be 1 and `max_lines` must be None or 1. |
lines |
```python int ``` | 1 |
minimum number of line rows to provide in textarea. |
max_lines |
```python int | None ``` | None |
maximum number of line rows to provide in textarea. Must be at least `lines`. If not provided, the maximum number of lines is max(lines, 20) for "text" type, and 1 for "password" and "email" types. |
placeholder |
```python str | I18nData | None ``` | None |
placeholder hint to provide behind textarea. |
label |
```python str | I18nData | None ``` | None |
the label for this component, displayed above the component if `show_label` is `True` and is also used as the header if there are a table of examples for this component. If None and used in a `gr.Interface`, the label will be the name of the parameter this component corresponds to. |
info |
```python str | I18nData | None ``` | None |
additional component description, appears below the label in smaller font. Supports markdown / HTML syntax. |
help |
```python str | I18nData | None ``` | None |
A string of help text to display in a tooltip next to the label. |
every |
```python Timer | float | None ``` | None |
continously calls `value` to recalculate it if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). Can provide a Timer whose tick resets `value`, or a float that provides the regular interval for the reset Timer. |
inputs |
```python Component | Sequence[Component] | set[Component] | None ``` | None |
components that are used as inputs to calculate `value` if `value` is a function (has no effect otherwise). `value` is recalculated any time the inputs change. |
show_label |
```python bool | None ``` | None |
if True, will display the label. If False, the copy button is hidden as well as well as the label. |
container |
```python bool ``` | True |
if True, will place the component in a container - providing some extra padding around the border. |
scale |
```python int | None ``` | None |
relative size compared to adjacent Components. For example if Components A and B are in a Row, and A has scale=2, and B has scale=1, A will be twice as wide as B. Should be an integer. scale applies in Rows, and to top-level Components in Blocks where fill_height=True. |
min_width |
```python int ``` | 160 |
minimum pixel width, will wrap if not sufficient screen space to satisfy this value. If a certain scale value results in this Component being narrower than min_width, the min_width parameter will be respected first. |
interactive |
```python bool | None ``` | None |
if True, will be rendered as an editable textbox; if False, editing will be disabled. If not provided, this is inferred based on whether the component is used as an input or output. |
visible |
```python bool ``` | True |
If False, component will be hidden. |
elem_id |
```python str | None ``` | None |
An optional string that is assigned as the id of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles. |
autofocus |
```python bool ``` | False |
If True, will focus on the textbox when the page loads. Use this carefully, as it can cause usability issues for sighted and non-sighted users. |
autoscroll |
```python bool ``` | True |
If True, will automatically scroll to the bottom of the textbox when the value changes, unless the user scrolls up. If False, will not scroll to the bottom of the textbox when the value changes. |
elem_classes |
```python list[str] | str | None ``` | None |
An optional list of strings that are assigned as the classes of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles. |
render |
```python bool ``` | True |
If False, component will not render be rendered in the Blocks context. Should be used if the intention is to assign event listeners now but render the component later. |
key |
```python int | str | tuple[int | str, ...] | None ``` | None |
in a gr.render, Components with the same key across re-renders are treated as the same component, not a new component. Properties set in 'preserved_by_key' are not reset across a re-render. |
preserved_by_key |
```python list[str] | str | None ``` | "value" |
A list of parameters from this component's constructor. Inside a gr.render() function, if a component is re-rendered with the same key, these (and only these) parameters will be preserved in the UI (if they have been changed by the user or an event listener) instead of re-rendered based on the values provided during constructor. |
text_align |
```python Literal["left", "right"] | None ``` | None |
How to align the text in the textbox, can be: "left", "right", or None (default). If None, the alignment is left if `rtl` is False, or right if `rtl` is True. Can only be changed if `type` is "text". |
rtl |
```python bool ``` | False |
If True and `type` is "text", sets the direction of the text to right-to-left (cursor appears on the left of the text). Default is False, which renders cursor on the right. |
show_copy_button |
```python bool ``` | False |
If True, includes a copy button to copy the text in the textbox. Only applies if show_label is True. |
max_length |
```python int | None ``` | None |
maximum number of characters (including newlines) allowed in the textbox. If None, there is no maximum length. |
submit_btn |
```python str | bool | None ``` | False |
If False, will not show a submit button. If True, will show a submit button with an icon. If a string, will use that string as the submit button text. When the submit button is shown, the border of the textbox will be removed, which is useful for creating a chat interface. |
stop_btn |
```python str | bool | None ``` | False |
If False, will not show a stop button. If True, will show a stop button with an icon. If a string, will use that string as the stop button text. When the stop button is shown, the border of the textbox will be removed, which is useful for creating a chat interface. |
html_attributes |
```python InputHTMLAttributes | None ``` | None |
An instance of gr.InputHTMLAttributes, which can be used to set HTML attributes for the input/textarea elements. Example: InputHTMLAttributes(autocorrect="off", spellcheck=False) to disable autocorrect and spellcheck. |
