<img alt="Static Badge" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/version%20-%200.0.1%20-%20orange">  

Python library for easily interacting with trained machine learning models

## Installation
    
```bash 
pip install gradio_carousel
```

## Usage

```python


import os

import gradio as gr
from gradio_carousel import Carousel

image_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "alligator_images")

images = [os.path.join(image_dir, file) for file in os.listdir(image_dir) if file.endswith((".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png"))]

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    with gr.Row():
        Carousel(label="cool gators", value=images)  # carousel component with images


if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()

```

### Events

| name | description |
|:-----|:------------|
| `select` | Event listener for when the user selects or deselects the Carousel. Uses event data gradio.SelectData to carry `value` referring to the label of the Carousel, and `selected` to refer to state of the Carousel. See EventData documentation on how to use this event data |
| `upload` | This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the Carousel. |
| `change` | Triggered when the value of the Carousel 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. |



### User function

The impact on the users predict function varies depending on whether the component is used as an input or output for an event (or both).

- When used as an Input, the component only impacts the input signature of the user function. 
- When used as an output, the component only impacts the return signature of the user function. 

The code snippet below is accurate in cases where the component is used as both an input and an output.

- **As input:** Should return, list of images, or list of (image, caption) tuples.

 ```python
 def predict(
     value: list[tuple[str, str | None]]
    | list[tuple[PIL.Image.Image, str | None]]
    | list[tuple[numpy.ndarray, str | None]]
    | None
 ) -> list[
        numpy.ndarray
        | PIL.Image.Image
        | pathlib.Path
        | str
        | tuple[
            numpy.ndarray
            | PIL.Image.Image
            | pathlib.Path
            | str,
            str,
        ]
    ]
    | None:
     return value
 ```
