streamlit-option-menu
streamlit-option-menu is a simple Streamlit component that allows users to select a single item from a list of options in a menu.
It is similar in function to st.selectbox(), except that:
- It uses a simple static list to display the options instead of a dropdown
- It has configurable icons for each option item and the menu title
It is built on streamlit-component-template-vue, styled with Bootstrap and with icons from bootstrap-icons
