NiceGUI is using the slot concept from Vue: Elements can have multiple slots, each possibly with a number of children. Most elements only have one slot, e.g. a `ui.card` (QCard) only has a default slot. But more complex elements like `ui.table` (QTable) can have more slots like "header", "body" and so on. If you nest NiceGUI elements via with `ui.row(): ...` you place new elements inside of the row's default slot. But if you use with `table.add_slot(...): ...`, you enter a different slot. The slot stack helps NiceGUI to keep track of which slot is currently used for new elements. The `parent` field holds a reference to its element. Whenever an element is entered via a `with` expression, its default slot is automatically entered as well. :param name: name of the slot :param template: Vue template of the slot :return: the slot **`ancestors`**`(include_self: bool = False) -> Iterator[Element]` Iterate over the ancestors of the element. :param include_self: whether to include the element itself in the iteration **`bind_enabled`**`(target_object: Any, target_name: str | tuple[str, ...] = 'enabled', forward: collections.abc.Callable[[Any], Any] | None = None, backward: collections.abc.Callable[[Any], Any] | None = None, strict: bool | None = None) -> Self` Bind the enabled state of this element to the target object's target_name property. The binding works both ways, from this element to the target and from the target to this element. The update happens immediately and whenever a value changes.

**`default_classes`**`(add: str | None = None, remove: str | None = None, toggle: str | None = None, replace: str | None = None) -> type[Self]` Apply, remove, toggle, or replace default HTML classes. This allows modifying the look of the element or its layout using `Tailwind `_ or `Quasar `_ classes. Removing or replacing classes can be helpful if predefined classes are not desired. All elements of this class will share these HTML classes. These must be defined before element instantiation. :param add: whitespace-delimited string of classes :param remove: whitespace-delimited string of classes to remove from the element :param toggle: whitespace-delimited string of classes to toggle (*added in version 2.7.0*) :param replace: whitespace-delimited string of classes to use instead of existing ones `@classmethod`
**`default_props`**`(add: str | None = None, remove: str | None = None) -> type[Self]` Add or remove default props. This allows modifying the look of the element or its layout using `Quasar `_ props. Since props are simply applied as HTML attributes, they can be used with any HTML element. All elements of this class will share these props. These must be defined before element instantiation. Boolean properties are assumed ``True`` if no value is specified. :param add: whitespace-delimited list of either boolean values or key=value pair to add :param remove: whitespace-delimited list of property keys to remove `@classmethod`
**`default_style`**`(add: str | None = None, remove: str | None = None, replace: str | None = None) -> type[Self]` Apply, remove, or replace default CSS definitions.

This function should be awaited so that the computed property is properly returned. :param prop_name: name of the computed prop :param timeout: maximum time to wait for a response (default: 1 second) **`mark`**`(*markers: str) -> Self` Replace markers of the element. Markers are used to identify elements for querying with `ElementFilter `_ which is heavily used in testing but can also be used to reduce the number of global variables or passing around dependencies. :param markers: list of strings or single string with whitespace-delimited markers; replaces existing markers **`move`**`(target_container: Element | None = None, target_index: int = -1, target_slot: str | None = None) -> Self` Move the element to another container. :param target_container: container to move the element to (default: the parent container) :param target_index: index within the target slot (default: append to the end) :param target_slot: slot within the target container (default: default slot) **`on`**`(type: str, handler: events.Handler[events.GenericEventArguments] | None = None, args: None | Sequence[str] | Sequence[Sequence[str] | None] = None, throttle: float = 0.0, leading_events: bool = True, trailing_events: bool = True, js_handler: str = '(...args) => emit(...args)') -> Self` Subscribe to an event. The event handler can be a Python function, a JavaScript function or a combination of both: - If you want to handle the event on the server with all (serializable) event arguments, use a Python ``handler``. - If you want to handle the event on the client side without emitting anything to the server, use ``js_handler`` with a JavaScript function handling the event. - If you want to handle the event on the server with a subset or transformed version of the event arguments, use ``js_handler`` with a JavaScript function emitting the transformed arguments using ``emit()``, and use a Python ``handler`` to handle these arguments on the server side. The ``js_handler`` can also decide to selectively emit arguments to the server, in which case the Python ``handler`` will not always be called. Note that the arguments ``throttle``, ``leading_events``, and ``trailing_events`` are only relevant when emitting events to the server. *Updated in version 2.18.0: Both handlers can be specified at the same time.* :param type: name of the event (e.g. "click", "mousedown", or "update:model-value") :param handler: callback that is called upon occurrence of the event :param args: arguments included in the event message sent to the event handler (default: ``None`` meaning all) :param throttle: minimum time (in seconds) between event occurrences (default: 0.0) :param leading_events: whether to trigger the event handler immediately upon the first event occurrence (default: ``True``) :param trailing_events: whether to trigger the event handler after the last event occurrence (default: ``True``) :param js_handler: JavaScript function that is handling the event on the client (default: "(...args) => emit(...args)") **`on_value_change`**`(callback: collections.abc.Callable[[nicegui.events.ValueChangeEventArguments[~ValueT]], Any] | collections.abc.Callable[[], Any]) -> Self` Add a callback to be invoked when the value changes. **`remove`**`(element: Element | int) -> None` Remove a child element. :param element: either the element instance or its ID **`run_method`**`(name: str, *args: Any, timeout: float = 1) -> AwaitableResponse` Run a method on the client side. If the function is awaited, the result of the method call is returned. Otherwise, the method is executed without waiting for a response. :param name: name of the method :param args: arguments to pass to the method :param timeout: maximum time to wait for a response (default: 1 second) **`set_enabled`**`(value: bool) -> Self` Set the enabled state of the element. **`set_value`**`(value: ~ValueT) -> Self` Set the value of this element. :param value: The value to set. **`set_visibility`**`(visible: bool) -> Self` Set the visibility of this element. :param visible: Whether the element should be visible. **`tooltip`**`(text: str) -> Self` Add a tooltip to the element. :param text: text of the tooltip **`update`**`() -> None` Update the element on the client side. ## Inheritance - `ValueElement` - `DisableableElement` - `Element` - `Visibility` **Nice**GUI The Python UI framework that shows up in your browser.
