Show API reference for

st.container

Insert a multi-element container.

Inserts an invisible container into your app that can be used to hold multiple elements. This allows you to, for example, insert multiple elements into your app out of order.

To add elements to the returned container, you can use "with" notation (preferred) or just call methods directly on the returned object. See examples below.

Function signature[source]

st.container(*, border=None)

Parameters

border (bool or None)

Whether to show a border around the container.

Examples

Inserting elements using "with" notation:

Python
import streamlit as st

with st.container():
   st.write("This is inside the container")

   # You can call any Streamlit command, including custom components:
   st.bar_chart(np.random.randn(50, 3))

st.write("This is outside the container")

Inserting elements out of order:

container.write("This is inside the container")
st.write("This is outside the container")
