Opens an HTML prompt when clicked. Sends text input as an event on MQTT. Requires click-listener.

Additional Python properties are available in the Textinput API Reference.

from arena import *

scene = Scene(host="arenaxr.org", scene="example")

textinput = TextInput(
    on="mouseup",
    title="What is your favorite food?",
    label="Please let us know below:",
    placeholder="Favorite food here",
)

def evt_handler(scene, evt, msg):
    if evt.type == "textinput":
        display_name = scene.all_objects[evt.data.writer].displayName
        print(f"{display_name}'s favorite food is: {evt.data.text}!")
