Modify st.text_input?

[magnesyljuasen]

Hello!

I would like to modify st.text_input forcing a widget rerun for every new letter written by the user (instead of a rerun trigger by hitting enter).

Does anyone have an idea how to this?

Hi @magnesyljuasen,

Thanks for posting!

Do you mean that you would want the app to rerun every time someone puts a new letter in the input box? Can you share the use case? That might help us make more helpful suggestions

There is the streamlit-keyup component described in this thread:

New Component: streamlit-keyup, a textbox that returns the text as you type

Example app: https://key-up.streamlitapp.com/ Hopefully a few people find this useful.

Link to repo.

Wow great! That’s exactly what i was looking for.

@magnesyljuasen - I’m curious. What is the use case? What will your app do on every key stroke?

[magnesyljuasen]

The use case is to make an address autocomplete widget:)

For every key stroke, the app does an API call for adresses in Norway using the st_keyup return value.

St.selectbox and st.multiselect were unable to do this due to the list of adresses being very long…
