BaseAd

BaseAd #

Bases: Control

Base class for all ad controls in Flet Ads package.

RAISES DESCRIPTION
AssertionError

When using this control on a web and/or non-mobile platform.

badge: BadgeValue | None = None #

The badge property supports both strings and Badge objects.

col: ResponsiveNumber = 12 #

If a parent of the control is ResponsiveRow, col property is used to determine how many virtual columns of a screen the control will span.

Can be a number or a dictionary configured to have a different value for specific breakpoints, for example col={"sm": 6}. Breakpoints are named dimension ranges:

Breakpoint Dimension
xs <576px
sm ≥576px
md ≥768px
lg ≥992px
xl ≥1200px
xxl ≥1400px

If col property is not specified, it spans the maximum number of columns (12).

data: Any = skip_field() #

Arbitrary data of any type that can be attached to a control.

disabled: bool = False #

Every control has disabled property which is False by default - control and all its children are enabled. disabled property is mostly used with data entry controls like TextField, Dropdown, Checkbox, buttons. However, disabled could be set to a parent control and its value will be propagated down to all children recursively.

For example, if you have a form with multiple entry controls you can disable them all together by disabling container:

c = ft.Column(controls=[
    ft.TextField(),
    ft.TextField()
])
c.disabled = True
page.add(c)

expand: bool | int | None = None #

When a child Control is placed into a Column or a Row you can "expand" it to fill the available space. expand property could be a boolean value (True - expand control to fill all available space) or an integer - an "expand factor" specifying how to divide a free space with other expanded child controls.

For more information and examples about expand property see "Expanding children" sections in Column or Row.

Here is an example of expand being used in action for both Column and Row:

import flet as ft

def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.spacing = 0
    page.padding = 0
    page.add(
        ft.Column(
            controls=[
                ft.Row(
                    [
                        ft.Card(
                            content=ft.Text("Card_1"),
                            color=ft.Colors.ORANGE_300,
                            expand=True,
                            height=page.height,
                            margin=0,
                        ),
                        ft.Card(
                            content=ft.Text("Card_2"),
                            color=ft.Colors.GREEN_100,
                            expand=True,
                            height=page.height,
                            margin=0,
                        ),
                    ],
                    expand=True,
                    spacing=0,
                ),
            ],
            expand=True,
            spacing=0,
        ),
    )

ft.app(main)

expand_loose: bool | None = None #

Effective only if expand is True.

If expand_loose is True, the child control of a Column or a Row will be given the flexibility to expand to fill the available space in the main axis (e.g., horizontally for a Row or vertically for a Column), but will not be required to fill the available space.

The default value is False.

Here is the example of Containers placed in Rows with expand_loose = True:

import flet as ft


class Message(ft.Container):
    def __init__(self, author, body):
        super().__init__()
        self.content = ft.Column(
            controls=[
                ft.Text(author, weight=ft.FontWeight.BOLD),
                ft.Text(body),
            ],
        )
        self.border = ft.border.all(1, ft.Colors.BLACK)
        self.border_radius = ft.border_radius.all(10)
        self.bgcolor = ft.Colors.GREEN_200
        self.padding = 10
        self.expand = True
        self.expand_loose = True


def main(page: ft.Page):
    chat = ft.ListView(
        padding=10,
        spacing=10,
        controls=[
            ft.Row(
                alignment=ft.MainAxisAlignment.START,
                controls=[
                    Message(

                    ),
                ],
            ),
            ft.Row(
                alignment=ft.MainAxisAlignment.END,
                controls=[
                    Message(

                        body="Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and

ft.run(main)

key: str | int | float | bool | ValueKey | ScrollKey | None = None #

on_click: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when this ad is clicked.

on_close: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when the full screen view has been closed. You should restart anything paused while handling [on_open][..].

on_error: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when an ad request failed.

Event handler argument data property contains information about the error.

on_impression: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when an impression occurs on this ad.

on_load: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when this ad is loaded successfully.

on_open: ft.OptionalControlEventHandler[BaseAd] = None #

Called when this ad opens up.

A full screen view/overlay is presented in response to the user clicking on an ad. You may want to pause animations and time sensitive interactions.

opacity: Number = 1.0 #

Defines the transparency of the control.

Value ranges from 0.0 (completely transparent) to 1.0 (completely opaque without any transparency) and defaults to 1.0.

page: Page | PageView | None #

The page (of type Page or PageView) to which this control belongs to.

parent: BaseControl | None #

The direct ancestor(parent) of this control.

It defaults to None and will only have a value when this control is mounted (added to the page tree).

The Page control (which is the root of the tree) is an exception - it always has parent=None.

request: AdRequest = field(default_factory=lambda: AdRequest()) #

Targeting information used to fetch an Ad.

rtl: bool = False #

True to set text direction to right-to-left.

tooltip: TooltipValue | None = None #

The tooltip property supports both strings and Tooltip objects.

unit_id: str #

Ad unit ID for this ad.

visible: bool = True #

Every control has visible property which is True by default - control is rendered on the page. Setting visible to False completely prevents control (and all its children if any) from rendering on a page canvas. Hidden controls cannot be focused or selected with a keyboard or mouse and they do not emit any events.
