A Streamlit custom component that provides enhanced functionality over the standard `streamlit.multiselect`. Users can enter free-form text which will appear as separate keyword chips.

**Author:** Tyler House ([@tahouse](https://github.com/tahouse))

## Features

- 🏷️ **Keyword Entry**: Input multiple keywords as chips/tags.
- 📝 **Free-Form Text**: Users can enter free-form text, which will be tokenized into individual keywords.
- 🎨 **Customizable**: Customize the label, placeholder text, and set a maximum number of keywords.
- 🔢 **Keyword Limit**: Optionally limit the maximum number of keywords.
- 🎨 **Theme Integration**: Automatic integration with Streamlit's theming (dark/light modes).
- 🖥️ **Seamless Integration**: Integrates seamlessly with Streamlit apps.
- 🗑️ **Keyword Removal**: Easily remove keywords by clicking the remove icon.

## Installation

```bash
pip install streamlit-keywords
```

## Usage

```python
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_keywords import keywords_input

# Create a keyword input
keywords = keywords_input(
    value=["example", "keywords"],
    label="Enter Keywords",
    text="Type a keyword and press Enter",
    max_keywords=5,
    key="unique_keywords_input"
)

# Display the entered keywords
st.write("Entered keywords:", keywords)
```

## Examples

Here are some usage patterns to help you integrate `streamlit_keywords` into your Streamlit app. See `example.py` for more usage examples.

### Basic Keyword Input

```python
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_keywords import keywords_input

st.title("Keyword Input Example")

keywords = keywords_input(
    label="Keywords",
    text="Add keywords and press Enter",
    key="basic_keyword_input"
)

st.write("You have entered:", keywords)
```

### Keyword Input with Maximum Limit

```python
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_keywords import keywords_input

keywords = keywords_input(
    label="Enter up to 5 keywords",
    max_keywords=5,
    key="keyword_input_max5"
)

st.write("Keywords:", keywords)

if keywords and len(keywords) >= 5:
    st.warning("You have reached the maximum number of keywords.")
```

### Keyword Input with Default Values

```python
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_keywords import keywords_input

initial_keywords = ["Streamlit", "Python", "Data Science"]

keywords = keywords_input(
    value=initial_keywords,
    label="Edit your keywords",
    key="keyword_input_with_defaults"
)

st.write("Current keywords:", keywords)
```

## Component API

### `keywords_input()`

Display a Streamlit component for entering keywords.

**Signature:**

```python
def keywords_input(
    value: list = [],
    label: str = "Keywords Input",
    text: str = "Type a keyword and press Enter",
    max_keywords: Optional[int] = None,
    key: Optional[str] = None,
) -> List[str]:
```

**Parameters:**

- **`value`** *(List\[str\], optional)*:  
  Initial list of keywords. Defaults to `[]`.

- **`label`** *(str, optional)*:  
  Label for the input component. Defaults to `"Keywords Input"`.

- **`text`** *(str, optional)*:  
  Instructions or placeholder text displayed in the input field. Defaults to `"Type a keyword and press Enter"`.

- **`max_keywords`** *(Optional\[int\], optional)*:  
  Maximum number of keywords allowed. If `None`, there is no limit. Defaults to `None`.

- **`key`** *(str, optional)*:  
  An optional string to use as the unique key for the widget. It's recommended to assign a unique key to prevent the component from remounting on script reruns. Defaults to `None`.

**Returns:**

- **`List[str]`**:  
  A list of entered keywords.

## Development

This repository uses the Streamlit Component template system. If you want to modify or develop the component, follow these steps.

### Prerequisites

- **Python**: Version 3.7 or newer.
- **Node.js and npm**: Required for frontend development.

### Backend Development

#### Install Python Dependencies

Clone the repository and install the development dependencies.

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/tahouse/streamlit-keywords.git
cd streamlit-keywords

# Install Python dependencies
pip install -e ".[devel]"
```

### Frontend Development

The frontend of this component is built using React and TypeScript, leveraging Material-UI components.

#### Install Node Dependencies

Navigate to the `streamlit_keywords/frontend` directory and install the dependencies as specified in `package.json`.

```bash
cd streamlit_keywords/frontend
npm install
```

**`package.json` dependencies:**

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@emotion/react": "^11.13.3",
    "@emotion/styled": "^11.13.0",
    "@mui/icons-material": "^6.1.6",
    "@mui/material": "^6.1.6",
    "react": "^17.0.2",
    "react-dom": "^17.0.2",
    "streamlit-component-lib": "^2.0.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/plugin-proposal-private-property-in-object": "^7.21.11",
    "@types/node": "^22.0.0",
    "@types/react": "^17.0.2",
    "@types/react-dom": "^17.0.2",
    "node": "^22.0.0",
    "react-scripts": "^5.0.1",
    "typescript": "^4.2.0"
  }
}
```

#### Running in Development Mode

To run the component in development mode with live reloading:

1. **Start the frontend development server:**

   ```bash
   npm start
   ```

   This will start the React development server.

2. **Set the `_RELEASE` flag:**

   Ensure that `_RELEASE = False` is set in your `__init__.py`. This tells the component to use the local development server.

3. **Run your Streamlit app:**

   In a separate terminal, navigate back to the root directory and run your Streamlit app.

   ```bash
   cd ../../
   streamlit run your_app.py
   ```

### Building for Production

When you're ready to build the component for production:

1. **Build the frontend:**

   ```bash
   npm run build
   ```

   This will generate the production-ready frontend assets.

2. **Update `_RELEASE` flag:**

   Set `_RELEASE = True` in `__init__.py`.

   ```python
   _RELEASE = True
   ```

3. **Your component is now ready:**

   The component is now ready for use in production environments.

## Acknowledgemnts

This project draws inspiration from multiple sources:

- **Streamlit Multiselect**: The standard Streamlit library's multiselect component served as initial inspiration, though this project extends functionality to allow free text entry.

- **streamlit-tags**: Special thanks to Gagan Bhatia (@gagan3012) for [streamlit-tags](https://github.com/gagan3012/streamlit-tags), which was what I initially used in my application. This project addresses mobile usability limitations in streamlit-tags where the enter button functioned only as a tab key.

- **Material UI**: This component is built using [Material UI](https://mui.com/)'s Autocomplete component, which provided the foundation for the user interface.

The decision to build streamlit-keywords came from a need for a modern, mobile-friendly keyword input component with up-to-date dependencies, improved mobile user experience, and theming that closely matches Streamlit's native multiselect component.
