+/* This is a basic library that allows controlling elements that take some form of user input.
+
+This was previously written in typescript, where all controllers implemented an interface. Not
+all methods were needed in all the controllers, but it was done to keep a common interface, so
+your main app can serve as a controller of controllers.
+
+These controllers were built to work on the shapes of html elements that gradio components use.
+
+There may be some notes in it that only applied to my use case, but I left them to help others
+along.
+
+You will need the parent element for these to work.
+The parent element can be defined as the element (div) that gets the element id when assigning
+an element id to a gradio component.
+
+Example:
+ gr.TextBox(value="...", elem_id="THISID")
+
+Basic usage, grab an element that is the parent container for the component.
+
+Send it in to the class, like a function, don't forget the "new" keyword so it calls the constructor
+and sends back a new object.
+
+Example:
+
+let txt2imgPrompt = new TextComponentController(gradioApp().querySelector("#txt2img_prompt"))
+
+Then use the getVal() method to get the value, or use the setVal(myValue) method to set the value.
+
+Input types that are groups, like Checkbox groups (not individual checkboxes), take in an array of values.
+
+Checkbox group has to reset all values to False (unchecked), then set the values in your array to true (checked).
+If you don't hold a reference to the values (the labels in string format), you can acquire them using the getVal() method.
