Dismissible #

Bases: ConstrainedControl, AdaptiveControl

A control that can be dismissed by dragging in the indicated dismiss_direction. When dragged or flung in the specified dismiss_direction, its content smoothly slides out of view.

After completing the sliding animation, if a resize_duration is provided, this control further animates its height (or width, depending on what is perpendicular to the dismiss_direction), gradually reducing it to zero over the specified resize_duration.

RAISES DESCRIPTION
AssertionError

If the content is not visible.

AssertionError

If the secondary_background is specified but the background is not specified/visible.

adaptive #

adaptive: bool | None = None

Enables platform-specific rendering or inheritance of adaptiveness from parent controls.

animate_offset #

animate_offset: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the offset property.

More information here.

animate_opacity #

animate_opacity: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the opacity property.

More information here.

animate_position #

animate_position: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the positioning properties (left, right, top and bottom).

More information here.

animate_rotation #

animate_rotation: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the rotate property.

More information here.

animate_scale #

animate_scale: AnimationValue | None = None

Enables implicit animation of the scale property.

More information here.

animate_size #

animate_size: AnimationValue | None = None

TBD

aspect_ratio #

aspect_ratio: Number | None = None

TBD

background #

background: Control | None = None

A control that is stacked behind the content.

If secondary_background is also specified, then this control only appears when the content has been dragged down or to the right.

badge #

badge: BadgeValue | None = None

A badge to show on top of this control.

bottom #

bottom: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's bottom edge is inset from the bottom of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

col #

col: ResponsiveNumber = 12

If a parent of this control is a ResponsiveRow, this property is used to determine how many virtual columns of a screen this control will span.

Can be a number or a dictionary configured to have a different value for specific breakpoints, for example col={"sm": 6}.

This control spans the 12 virtual columns by default.

Dimensions
Breakpoint Dimension
xs <576px
sm ≥576px
md ≥768px
lg ≥992px
xl ≥1200px
xxl ≥1400px

content #

content: Control

The control that is being dismissed.

cross_axis_end_offset #

cross_axis_end_offset: Number = 0.0

Specifies the end offset along the main axis once the content has been dismissed.

If set to a non-zero value, then this dismissible moves in cross direction depending on whether it is positive or negative.

data #

data: Any = skip_field()

Arbitrary data of any type.

disabled #

disabled: bool = False

Every control has disabled property which is False by default - control and all its children are enabled.

Note

The value of this property will be propagated down to all children controls recursively.

Example

For example, if you have a form with multiple entry controls you can disable them all together by disabling container:

ft.Column(
    disabled = True,
    controls=[
        ft.TextField(),
        ft.TextField()
    ]
)

dismiss_direction #

dismiss_direction: DismissDirection = HORIZONTAL

The direction in which the control can be dismissed.

dismiss_thresholds #

dismiss_thresholds: dict[
    DismissDirection, Number | None
] = field(default_factory=dict)

The offset threshold the item has to be dragged in order to be considered as dismissed. This is specified as a dictionary where the key is of type DismissDirection and the value is the threshold (a fractional/decimal value between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive).

Example
ft.Dismissible(
    # ...
    dismiss_thresholds={
        ft.DismissDirection.VERTICAL: 0.1,
        ft.DismissDirection.START_TO_END: 0.7
    }
)

expand #

expand: bool | int | None = None

Specifies whether/how this control should expand to fill available space in its parent layout.

More information here.

Note

Has effect only if the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

expand_loose #

expand_loose: bool = False

Allows the control to expand along the main axis if space is available, but does not require it to fill all available space.

More information here.

Note

If expand_loose is True, it will have effect only if:

  • expand is not None and
  • the direct parent of this control is one of the following controls, or their subclasses: Column, Row, View, Page.

height #

height: Number | None = None

Imposed Control height in virtual pixels.

key #

key: (
    str | int | float | bool | ValueKey | ScrollKey | None
) = None

left #

left: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's left edge is inset from the left of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

movement_duration #

movement_duration: DurationValue = field(
    default_factory=lambda: Duration(milliseconds=200)
)

The duration for content to dismiss or to come back to original position if not dismissed.

offset #

offset: OffsetValue | None = None

Applies a translation transformation before painting the control.

The translation is expressed as an Offset scaled to the control's size. So, Offset(x=0.25, y=0), for example, will result in a horizontal translation of one quarter the width of this control.

Example

The following example displays container at 0, 0 top left corner of a stack as transform applies -1 * 100, -1 * 100 (offset * control's size) horizontal and vertical translations to the control:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(
        ft.Stack(
            width=1000,
            height=1000,
            controls=[
                ft.Container(
                    bgcolor="red",
                    width=100,
                    height=100,
                    left=100,
                    top=100,
                    offset=ft.Offset(-1, -1),
                )
            ],
        )
    )

ft.run(main)

on_animation_end #

on_animation_end: (
    ControlEventHandler[ConstrainedControl] | None
) = None

Called when animation completes.

Can be used to chain multiple animations.

The data property of the event handler argument contains the name of the animation.

More information here.

on_confirm_dismiss #

on_confirm_dismiss: (
    EventHandler[DismissibleDismissEvent] | None
) = None

Gives the app an opportunity to confirm or veto a pending dismissal. This dismissible cannot be dragged again until this pending dismissal is resolved.

To resolve the pending dismissal, call the confirm_dismiss() method passing it a boolean representing the decision. If True, then the control will be dismissed, otherwise it will be moved back to its original location.

on_dismiss #

on_dismiss: EventHandler[DismissibleDismissEvent] | None = (
    None
)

Called when this control has been dismissed, after finishing resizing.

on_resize #

on_resize: ControlEventHandler[Dismissible] | None = None

Called when this dismissible changes size, for example, when contracting before being dismissed.

on_update #

on_update: EventHandler[DismissibleUpdateEvent] | None = (
    None
)

Called when this control has been dragged.

opacity #

opacity: Number = 1.0

Defines the transparency of the control.

Value ranges from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque without any transparency).

page #

page: Page | PageView | None

The page (of type Page or PageView) to which this control belongs to.

parent #

parent: BaseControl | None

The direct ancestor(parent) of this control.

It defaults to None and will only have a value when this control is mounted (added to the page tree).

The Page control (which is the root of the tree) is an exception - it always has parent=None.

resize_duration #

resize_duration: DurationValue = field(
    default_factory=lambda: Duration(milliseconds=300)
)

The amount of time the control will spend contracting before on_dismiss is called.

right #

right: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's right edge is inset from the right of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

rotate #

rotate: RotateValue | None = None

Transforms this control using a rotation around its center.

The value of rotate property could be one of the following types:

  • number - a rotation in clockwise radians. Full circle 360° is math.pi * 2 radians, 90° is pi / 2, 45° is pi / 4, etc.
  • Rotate - allows to specify rotation angle as well as alignment - the location of rotation center.
Example

For example:

ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    rotate=Rotate(angle=0.25 * pi, alignment=ft.Alignment.CENTER_LEFT)
)

rtl #

rtl: bool = False

Whether the text direction of the control should be right-to-left (RTL).

scale #

scale: ScaleValue | None = None

Scales this control along the 2D plane. Default scale factor is 1.0, meaning no-scale.

Setting this property to 0.5, for example, makes this control twice smaller, while 2.0 makes it twice larger.

Different scale multipliers can be specified for x and y axis, by setting Control.scale property to an instance of Scale class. Either scale or scale_x and scale_y could be specified, but not all of them.

Example
ft.Image(
    src="https://picsum.photos/100/100",
    width=100,
    height=100,
    border_radius=5,
    scale=ft.Scale(scale_x=2, scale_y=0.5)
)

secondary_background #

secondary_background: Control | None = None

A control that is stacked behind the content and is exposed when it has been dragged up or to the left.

Note

Can only be specified if background is also specified/visible.

tooltip #

tooltip: TooltipValue | None = None

The tooltip ot show when this control is hovered over.

top #

top: Number | None = None

The distance that the child's top edge is inset from the top of the stack.

Note

Effective only if this control is a descendant of one of the following: Stack control, Page.overlay list.

visible #

visible: bool = True

Every control has visible property which is True by default - control is rendered on the page. Setting visible to False completely prevents control (and all its children if any) from rendering on a page canvas. Hidden controls cannot be focused or selected with a keyboard or mouse and they do not emit any events.

width #

width: Number | None = None

Imposed Control width in virtual pixels.

before_event #
