An enhanced interactive widget that lets you observe any trait of widgets, observe multiple functions and build beautiful dashboards which can be turned into full screen. This is a wrapper library around interact functionality in [ipyslides](https://github.com/asaboor-gh/ipyslides) which also provides rich content representations.

## Installation
You can install einteract using pip:
```bash
pip install einteract
```
Or if you prefer to install from source, clone the repository and in its top folder, run:
```bash
pip install -e .
```

## Features
- **InteractBase**: Create interactive dashboard applications with minimal code by extending the `InteractBase` class and defining methods with the `@callback` decorator.
- **Custom Widgets**:
- Included custom built widgets for enhanced interaction.
- Pass any DOMWidget as a parameter to `interact/interactive` functions unlike default `ipywidgets.interactive` behavior.
- Observe any trait of the widget by `'widget_name.trait_name'` where `'widget_name'` is assigned to a `widget`/`fixed(widget)` in control parameters, OR `'.trait_name'` if `trait_name` exists on instance of interactive.
- You can use '.fullscreen' to detect fullscreen change and do actions based on that.
- Add `ipywidgets.Button` to hold callbacks which use it as paramter for a click
- **Plotly Integration**: Modified plotly support with additional traits like `selected` and `clicked`
- **HTML support**:
- Convert matplotlib plots to HTML format using `plt2html`.
- Any (supported) python object can be converted to html using `html`, `hstack` and `vstack` function.
- **JupyTimer**: A non-blocking widget timer for Jupyter Notebooks without threading/asyncio.
- **Event Callbacks**: Easy widget event handling with the `@callback` decorator inside the subclass of `InteractBase` or multiple functions in `interact/interactive` functions.
- **Full Screen Mode**: Transform your dashboards into full-screen applications by added button.
## Usage Example
```python
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import ipywidgets as ipw
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import einteract as ei
@ei.callback('out-click', throttle = 200) # limit click rate by 200 ms
def on_click(cdata,html):
display(pd.DataFrame(cdata or {}))
def on_select(sdata, html):
plt.scatter(sdata.get('xs',[]),sdata.get('ys',[]))
html.value = ei.plt2html().value
def detect_fs(fig, fs):
print("isfullscreen = ",fs)
fig.layout.autosize = False # double trigger
fig.layout.autosize = True
@ei.interact(
on_select,
on_click,
detect_fs,
fig = ei.patched_plotly(go.FigureWidget()),
html = ipw.HTML('**Select Box/Lesso on figure traces**'),
A = (1,10), omega = (0,20), phi = (0,10),
sdata = 'fig.selected', cdata = 'fig.clicked', fs = '.isfullscreen',
app_layout={'left_sidebar':['A','omega','phi','html','out-main'], 'center': ['fig','out-click'],'pane_widths':[3,7,0]},
grid_css={'.left-sidebar':{'background':'whitesmoke'},':fullscreen': {'height': '100vh'}},
)
def plot(fig:go.FigureWidget, A, omega,phi): # adding type hint allows auto-completion inside function
fig.data = []
x = np.linspace(0,10,100)
fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(x=x, y=A*np.sin(omega*x + phi), mode='lines+markers'))
```
