HTML in Python
Project description
htpy - HTML in Python
htpy is a library that makes writing HTML in Python fun and efficient, without the need for a template language.
-
Define HTML elements in Python...
from htpy import html, body, h1, img is_cool = True html[ body(class_={"cool": is_cool})[ h1("#hi")["Welcome to htpy!"], img(src="cat.jpg"), ] ]
-
...and render it as HTML.
<!doctype html> <html> <body class="cool"> <h1 id="hi">Welcome to htpy!</h1> <img src="cat.jpg"> </body> </html>
Introduction
At Personalkollen, where htpy was originally developed we often found ourselves hitting walls when using classic templates. htpy was created to improve the productiveness and experience of generating HTML from a Python backend.
Key features
-
Leverage static types: - Use mypy or pyright to type check your code.
-
Great debugging: Avoid cryptic stack traces from templates. Use your favorite Python debugger.
-
Easy to extend: There is no special way to define template tags/filters. Just call regular functions.
-
Create reusable components: Define components, snippets, complex layouts/pages as regular Python variables or functions.
-
Familiar concepts from React: React helped make it popular writing HTML with a programming language. htpy uses a lot of similar constructs.
