How to determine if "click" or "box-select" was used with Streamlit/Plotly to return data from chart to Streamlit - python-3.x

Question

I'm not a Javascript/Typescript/React dev. I'm hacking my way through this for a work project.
I'm using Streamlit, with plotly.
I'm hacking the basic code from streamlit-plotly-events.
I was trying to have the click or box-select information passed back with the data selected via the plotlyEventHandler() (see code below.) However, both this.props.args["click_event"] and this.props.args["select_event"] are true, regardless of whether you use box-select in the plotly chart, or click a single data point in the chart.
I thought of assuming if there is only one data point, then it was a click - but you can box select only one data point.
// import React, {useState,useEffect} from "react"
import React, { ReactNode } from "react"
//import React from "react"
import {
StreamlitComponentBase,
withStreamlitConnection,
Streamlit,
// ComponentProps,
} from "streamlit-component-lib"
import Plot from "react-plotly.js"
class StreamlitPlotlyEventsCapture extends StreamlitComponentBase {
public render = (): ReactNode => {
// Pull Plotly object from args and parse
const plot_obj = JSON.parse(this.props.args["plot_obj"]);
const override_height = this.props.args["override_height"];
const override_width = this.props.args["override_width"];
// Event booleans
const click_event = this.props.args["click_event"];
const select_event = this.props.args["select_event"];
const hover_event = this.props.args["hover_event"];
Streamlit.setFrameHeight(override_height);
return (
<Plot
data={plot_obj.data}
layout={plot_obj.layout}
config={plot_obj.config}
frames={plot_obj.frames}
onClick={click_event ? this.plotlyEventHandler : function(){}}
onSelected={select_event ? this.plotlyEventHandler : function(){}}
onHover={hover_event ? this.plotlyEventHandler : function(){}}
style={{width: override_width, height: override_height}}
className="stPlotlyChart"
/>
)
}
/** Click handler for plot. */
private plotlyEventHandler = (data: any) => {
// Build array of points to return
var clickedPoints: Array<any> = [];
//const util = require('util')//#33333 used with util.inspect(arrayItem) below
// I dont know why we can't directly use "this.variables" in the clickedPoints.push
// but we can't, so we create the variables here.
var wasClicked = this.props.args["click_event"];
var wasSelected = this.props.args["select_event"];
var wasHovered = this.props.args["hover_event"];
data.points.forEach(function (arrayItem: any) {
// console.log(util.inspect(arrayItem, {maxArrayLength: null, depth:null }))
clickedPoints.push({
// I dont know why we can't directly use "this.variables" here, but we can't
// so we use the variables created above.
clicked:wasClicked,
selected:wasSelected,
hovered:wasHovered,
x: arrayItem.x,
y: arrayItem.y,
curveNumber: arrayItem.curveNumber,
pointNumber: arrayItem.pointNumber,
pointIndex: arrayItem.pointIndex
})
});
// Return array as JSON to Streamlit
Streamlit.setComponentValue(JSON.stringify(clickedPoints))
}
}
export default withStreamlitConnection(StreamlitPlotlyEventsCapture)
