[Question] Support for spinner?

[pvachon-ivadolabs]

Has anyone found a way to show a spinner when running the search function? For example, I make API calls that can sometimes take 3-4 seconds to return results and I would like to be able to show a spinner of some sort in the UI.

Hey, you could add the spinner to the search function itself, maybe with a placeholder depending on where you'd like to indicate it running?

import time

import streamlit as st

from streamlit_searchbox import st_searchbox


def search(searchterm: str) -> list[str]:
    with placeholder:
        with st.spinner("Searching..."):
            time.sleep(5)
            return [f"{searchterm}-{i}" for i in range(10)]


placeholder = st.empty()

st.title("Searchbox test")


st_searchbox(search)
