Implementation

For each value in the model, the code first checks to see if an item called "Metabolic Rate" has been encountered. If so, it calls a specialized function, create_metabolic_rate_input, to create a custom input component, which is then added to the inputs list. Similarly, if an item named "Clothing Level" is encountered, the code calls the create_clothing_level_input function to create another special input component, also adding it to the inputs list.

These two functions are designed to create a special user input interface specifically for handling the metabolic rate and clothing level parameters in the environmental comfort model. They utilize an Autocomplete component to provide a flexible and user-friendly input method. This design allows users to enter specific values directly, while also potentially selecting common activities or clothing types from a predefined selection.

These two callback functions are designed for the metabolic rate and clothing level input fields, and are triggered when the user enters or selects content in these fields, potentially updating the list of options based on the user's input, verifying and converting the input values in real time, ensuring data consistency, and providing immediate feedback.

These functions are called when the user enters content in the input field. They first try to interpret the input as a numerical value. If successful, the function searches the list of predefined options to find those whose values are close to those entered by the user. The goal is to provide the user with the most relevant options, allowing the user to quickly find the right option even if they are unsure of the exact value. If the user enters something other than a numeric value, or if no matching option is found, the function returns a complete list of options.

By setting allow_duplicate=True, these callbacks update the same component that triggers them, allowing for an immediate response to the input field. Also, prevent_initial_call=True ensures that the callback is triggered only when the user actually enters it, not when the page first loads.

Their main purpose is to extract and return the corresponding numeric value when the user selects the value from the predefined options. If the selected value does not conform to the expected format, the function takes appropriate error handling action.

Remove duplications:

Put the same code all in the same class

Current issue:

The drop-down search function for the met and clo input fields is implemented in the same way, causing code duplication issues that need to be modified
