@STEdyd666 I have been playing around a little bit with the library.

I want to second the suggestion of PipInstallPython, i do miss the style property to pass down css properties from the python interface. It would be a great addition to allow that, especially for developers not well-versed in the art of css.

Secondly, I noticed that if I change the text property of an InputGroup via callback, it doesn’t update the visual value in the app. Let’s say the input field contains the text `This is input text`. Then I have a button to clear the input field. The callback returns the empty string `""` to `Output("my_InputContainer", "text")`, then in the browser the input field will still show the text `This is input text`. However, behind the scenes the text property is properly set. If you would use that property in another callback, you would get the empty string as expected. So, changing the value in the input field updates the `text` property, however changing the `text` property doesn’t update the value of the input field. I took a look at the js-code of the component, but couldn’t really understand why that happened.

Thirdly, it would be nice to have code snippets in the docs for each component. Now I go to the source code to check the actual code, but being able to copy it from the docs website would be nice!

Lastly, I saw some small mistakes in the documentation of some properties. What is the source of the documentation that is added in the auto-generated Python files? I might do some pull requests.
