with gradio.Blocks():Description
Blocks is Gradio's low-level API that allows you to create more custom web applications and demos than Interfaces (yet still entirely in Python).
Compared to the Interface class, Blocks offers more flexibility and control over: (1) the layout of components (2) the events that trigger the execution of functions (3) data flows (e.g. inputs can trigger outputs, which can trigger the next level of outputs). Blocks also offers ways to group together related demos such as with tabs.
The basic usage of Blocks is as follows: create a Blocks object, then use it as a context (with the "with" statement), and then define layouts, components, or events within the Blocks context. Finally, call the launch() method to launch the demo.
Example Usage
import gradio as gr
def update(name):
return f"Welcome to Gradio, {name}!"
with gr.Blocks() as demo:
gr.Markdown("Start typing below and then click **Run** to see the output.")
with gr.Row():
inp = gr.Textbox(placeholder="What is your name?")
out = gr.Textbox()
btn = gr.Button("Run")
btn.click(fn=update, inputs=inp, outputs=out)
demo.launch()Initialization

|---|---|
theme Theme | str | None default: None | A Theme object or a string representing a theme. If a string, will look for a built-in theme with that name (e.g. "soft" or "default"), or will attempt to load a theme from the Hugging Face Hub (e.g. "gradio/monochrome"). If None, will use the Default theme. |

This listener is triggered when the Blocks initially loads in the browser.
Agruments
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
block Block | None required | |
fn Callable | None | Literal['decorator'] default: "decorator" | the function to call when this event is triggered. Often a machine learning model's prediction function. Each parameter of the function corresponds to one input component, and the function should return a single value or a tuple of values, with each element in the tuple corresponding to one output component. |
inputs Component | list[Component] | set[Component] | None default: None | List of gradio.components to use as inputs. If the function takes no inputs, this should be an empty list. |
outputs Component | list[Component] | None default: None | List of gradio.components to use as outputs. If the function returns no outputs, this should be an empty list. |
api_name str | None | Literal[False] default: None | defines how the endpoint appears in the API docs. Can be a string, None, or False. If set to a string, the endpoint will be exposed in the API docs with the given name. If None (default), the name of the function will be used as the API endpoint. If False, the endpoint will not be exposed in the API docs and downstream apps (including those that |
scroll_to_output bool default: False | If True, will scroll to output component on completion |
show_progress Literal[('full', 'minimal', 'hidden')] default: "full" | If True, will show progress animation while pending |
queue bool | None default: None | If True, will place the request on the queue, if the queue has been enabled. If False, will not put this event on the queue, even if the queue has been enabled. If None, will use the queue setting of the gradio app. |
batch bool default: False | If True, then the function should process a batch of inputs, meaning that it should accept a list of input values for each parameter. The lists should be of equal length (and be up to length |
max_batch_size int default: 4 | Maximum number of inputs to batch together if this is called from the queue (only relevant if batch=True) |
preprocess bool default: True | If False, will not run preprocessing of component data before running 'fn' (e.g. leaving it as a base64 string if this method is called with the |
postprocess bool default: True | If False, will not run postprocessing of component data before returning 'fn' output to the browser. |
cancels dict[str, Any] | list[dict[str, Any]] | None default: None | A list of other events to cancel when this listener is triggered. For example, setting cancels=[click_event] will cancel the click_event, where click_event is the return value of another components .click method. Functions that have not yet run (or generators that are iterating) will be cancelled, but functions that are currently running will be allowed to finish. |
every float | None default: None | Run this event 'every' number of seconds while the client connection is open. Interpreted in seconds. |
trigger_mode Literal[('once', 'multiple', 'always_last')] | None default: None | If "once" (default for all events except |

concurrency_limit int | None | Literal['default'] default: "default" | If set, this is the maximum number of this event that can be running simultaneously. Can be set to None to mean no concurrency_limit (any number of this event can be running simultaneously). Set to "default" to use the default concurrency limit (defined by the |
concurrency_id str | None default: None | If set, this is the id of the concurrency group. Events with the same concurrency_id will be limited by the lowest set concurrency_limit. |
show_api bool default: True | whether to show this event in the "view API" page of the Gradio app, or in the ".view_api()" method of the Gradio clients. Unlike setting api_name to False, setting show_api to False will still allow downstream apps to use this event. If fn is None, show_api will automatically be set to False. |
unload
gradio.Blocks.unload(fn, ยทยทยท)Description
This listener is triggered when the user closes or refreshes the tab, ending the user session. It is useful for cleaning up resources when the app is closed.
