A Streamlit component that provides a modern chat-style prompt with image attachment and paste support. This component was built to mimic the style of [streamlit.chat_input](https://docs.streamlit.io/develop/api-reference/chat/st.chat_input) while expanding functionality with images. Future work may include addition of speech-to-text input.

## Installation

```bash
pip install streamlit-chat-prompt
```

## Usage

```python
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_chat_prompt import prompt

# Create a chat prompt
response = prompt(
    name="chat",  # Unique name for the prompt
    key="chat",   # Unique key for the component instance
    placeholder="Hi there! What should we talk about?",  # Optional placeholder text
    main_bottom=True,  # Pin prompt to bottom of main area
    max_image_size=5 * 1024 * 1024,  # Maximum image size (5MB default)
    disabled=False,  # Optionally disable the prompt
)

# Handle the response
if response:
    if response.message:
        st.write(f"Message: {response.message}")
    
    if response.images:
        for i, img in enumerate(response.images):
            st.write(f"Image {i+1}: {img.type} ({img.format})")
```

## Examples

Here are some usage patterns, or check out [rocktalk](https://github.com/tahouse/rocktalk) for a full working example.

1. Main Chat Interface ![Main Chat Interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tahouse/streamlit-chat-prompt/main/docs/main-chat.png)

    ```python
    import base64
    from io import BytesIO
    import streamlit as st
    from streamlit_chat_prompt import PromptReturn, prompt, ImageData
    from PIL import Image


    st.chat_message("assistant").write("Hi there! What should we chat about?")

    prompt_return: PromptReturn | None = prompt(
        name="foo",
        key="chat_prompt",
        placeholder="Hi there! What should we chat about?",
        main_bottom=True,
    )

    if prompt_return:
        with st.chat_message("user"):
            st.write(prompt_return.message)
            if prompt_return.images:
                for image in prompt_return.images:
                    st.divider()
                    image_data: bytes = base64.b64decode(image.data)
                    st.markdown("Ussng `st.image`")
                    st.image(Image.open(BytesIO(image_data)))

                    # or use markdown
                    st.divider()
                    st.markdown("Using `st.markdown`")
                    st.markdown(f"![Hello World](data:image/png;base64,{image.data})")

    ```

2. Dialog Usage and Starting From Existing Message ![Dialog Interface](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tahouse/streamlit-chat-prompt/main/docs/dialog.png)

    ```python
    import base64
    from io import BytesIO
    import streamlit as st
    from streamlit_chat_prompt import PromptReturn, prompt, ImageData
    from PIL import Image
    
    with st.sidebar:
        st.header("Sidebar")

        if st.button("Dialog Prompt", key=f"dialog_prompt_button"):
            test_dg()

        if st.button(
            "Dialog Prompt with Default Value", key=f"dialog_prompt_with_default_button"
        ):
            with open("example_images/vangogh.png", "rb") as f:
                image_data = f.read()
                image = Image.open(BytesIO(image_data))
                base64_image = base64.b64encode(image_data).decode("utf-8")
                test_dg(
                    default_input=PromptReturn(
                        message="This is a test message with an image",
                        images=[
                            ImageData(data=base64_image, type="image/png", format="base64")
                        ],
                    ),
