Question about .bind_visibility_from() when using ui.select()

[miccs0]

Question

The thing is that I would like to only show the "comments" element when my "data" ui.select() option is "1", when it is "2" I would like the "comments" ui.input() to be invisible.
I am aware this is a simple question, but I can't seem to find an answer to it!
Thanks a lot.

data = ui.select(label='Status', options=[1, 2])
comments = ui.input('Comments').bind_visibility_from(data, 'value')

Hi @miccs0,

You can specify the value for when the element should be visible like this:

ui.input('Comments').bind_visibility_from(data, 'value', value=1)

This is a shorthand for explicitly defining the conversion from an arbitrary value to a boolean visibility like this:

ui.input('Comments').bind_visibility_from(data, 'value', lambda v: v == 1)

Thanks again for all your help! @falkoschindler
