Perry
Perry <= A framework that let's you compose websites in Python with ease!
Perry works similar to Qt and Flutter, allowing you to create component collections. Say you want to create a div with some text and an image. To do that you'd first need to create the page:
from Perry import component, pageView, serve, Composite
Let's break it down:
- Component - A given element that can be added anywhere on the page
- pageView - Creates a page with a route for us, we can load styles, JS and other things into it by using the 'styles' argument
- Serve - A Flask based micro-server for Perry
- Composite - The most important part! This tells our components to build themselves recursively as well as creating the skeleton, route and debugging info.
Now let's create the page
Homepage = component(pageView, _Inherit = True)
# a pageView is also a component, but inherits different functionality
# Assign page contents
Homepage <= {
'title': 'Home', # Title of the page
'path':'', # Route on the webserver, no need to include the starting /
'styles': [bootstrap], # Styles and other components, here we load bootstrap which is included in Extras
'DOM': pageView.DOM, # DOM, not yet implemented but worth using in case you want to upgrade to a newer verion of Perry later
'components': HomepageContents # A ComponentSource with our elements
}
This page will just show up as an error as we haven't yet created our component source! This can be done through importing ComponentSource
HomepageContents = ComponentSource(
DIV(
Label('Hello World!', 'h1'),
Card(
Image('Image URL'),
CardText('Sample Text which has attributes for bootstrap cards', 'p')
),
Label('Good bye!', 'h1')
)
)
You'll get something like this. The trailing comment is used for debugging
<body>
<!-- Components --->
<div id="" class="">
<h1 id=""> Hello World! </h1>
<!-- Component: <Label id:0x7f398481c910>--->
<div style="width: 18rem;" id="" class="card, ">
<div class="card-body">
<img src="Image URL" id="style=''">
<!-- Component: <Image id:0x7f398481c9d0>--->
<p id="class='card-text'"> Sample Text which has attributes for bootstrap cards </p>
<!-- Component: <BootstrapCardText id:0x7f398481ca60>--->
</div>
</div>
<!-- Component: <BootrstrapCard cclass:None id:0x7f398481cb20>--->
<h1 id=""> Good bye! </h1>
<!-- Component: <Label id:0x7f398481cbe0>--->
</div>
<!-- Component: <DIV cclass:None id:0x7f398481cca0>--->
<p id=""> Running on Perry v0.9 with Debug Mode on! </p>
<!-- Component: <Label id:0x7f3984885d90>--->
<!-- End of Components --->
</body>
Custom Element Bundles and Styling
Want to bundle together multiple elements and create a universal one? That's easy to do!
OurCoolNewElement = DIV(
Label('Hello, I have custom stuff!', 'h1', id = 'CoolTitle'),
cclass = 'NewElement'
)
# Let's give it some style
ourCustomStyle = style()
ourCustomStyle <= {
'author':'HUSKI3',
'source':'Local-made ;)'
'ctype':'css',
'css' : '''
.NewElement {
color: white;
background: black;
}
'''}
# And now add it to the components
HomepageContents = ComponentSource(
DIV(
Label('Hello World!', 'h1'),
OurCoolNewElement , # <--- here
Label('Good bye!', 'h1')
)
)
You'll need to load the style when defining the homepage contents!
Homepage <= {
...,
'styles': [some, styles, ourCustomStyle],
...
}
Adding JS Support
At the moment JS doesn't have direct support through built in components, but you can use JQueryEngine and JQueryEngineStrapper from Extras.
# First we create the component with JQuery, give it a pageView to wrap around (WIP)
js = JQueryEngine(pageView, cid = 'coolscript')
# Now you load in the script, it can either be a string or a read from file
js <= ( open('PerryApp/coolscript.js','r').read() )
# To load it in, you need to add JQueryEngineStrapper to the styles of the page and add the js component to the components
HomepageContents.add( js )
Serving pages with Flask
In Perry you always serve pages as a Composite collection, this way they are built and then loaded on Flask on the specified routes.
# Serve our pages as a composite collection
serve <= Composite(Homepage, About, OtherPage, debug = True)
