#### Clients 1.0 Launch!
We're excited to unveil the first major release of the Gradio clients.
We've made it even easier to turn any Gradio application into a production endpoint thanks to the clients' **ergonomic**, **transparent**, and **portable** design.
#### Ergonomic API 💆
**Stream From a Gradio app in 5 lines**
Use the `submit` method to get a job you can iterate over:
```python
from gradio_client import Client
client = Client("gradio/llm_stream")
for result in client.submit("What's the best UI framework in Python?"):
print(result)
```
```ts
import { Client } from "@gradio/client";
const client = await Client.connect("gradio/llm_stream")
const job = client.submit("/predict", {"text": "What's the best UI framework in Python?"})
for await (const msg of job) console.log(msg.data)
```
**Use the same keyword arguments as the app**
```python
from gradio_client import Client
client = Client("http://127.0.0.1:7860/")
result = client.predict(
message="Hello!!",
system_prompt="You are helpful AI.",
tokens=10,
api_name="/chat"
)
print(result)
```
```ts
import { Client } from "@gradio/client";
const client = await Client.connect("http://127.0.0.1:7860/");
const result = await client.predict("/chat", {
message: "Hello!!",
system_prompt: "Hello!!",
tokens: 10,
});
console.log(result.data);
```
**Better Error Messages**
If something goes wrong in the upstream app, the client will raise the same exception as the app provided that `show_error=True` in the original app's `launch()` function, or it's a `gr.Error` exception.
#### Transparent Design 🪟
Anything you can do in the UI, you can do with the client:
* 🔒 Authentication
* 🛑 Job Cancelling
* Access Queue Position and API
* 📕 View the API information
Here's an example showing how to display the queue position of a pending job:
```python
from gradio_client import Client
client = Client("gradio/diffusion_model")
job = client.submit("A cute cat")
while not job.done():
status = job.status()
print(f"Current in position {status.rank} out of {status.queue_size}")
```
#### Portable Design ⛺️
The client can run from pretty much any python and javascript environment (node, deno, the browser, Service Workers).
Here's an example using the client from a Flask server using gevent:
```python
from gevent import monkey
monkey.patch_all()
from gradio_client import Client
from flask import Flask, send_file
import time
app = Flask(__name__)
imageclient = Client("gradio/diffusion_model")
@app.route("/gen")
def gen():
result = imageclient.predict(
"A cute cat",
api_name="/predict"
)
return send_file(result)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=5000)
```
#### 1.0 Migration Guide and Breaking Changes
**Python**
- The `serialize` argument of the `Client` class was removed. Has no effect.
- The `upload_files` argument of the `Client` was removed.
- All filepaths must be wrapped in the `handle_file` method. Example:
```python
from gradio_client import Client, handle_file
client = Client("gradio/image_captioner")
client.predict(handle_file("cute_cat.jpg"))
```
- The `output_dir` argument was removed. It is not specified in the `download_files` argument.
**Javascript**
The client has been redesigned entirely. It was refactored from a function into a class. An instance can now be constructed by awaiting the `connect` method.
```js
const app = await Client.connect("gradio/whisper")
```
The app variable has the same methods as the python class (`submit`, `predict`, `view_api`, `duplicate`).
