PyView

A Python implementation of Phoenix LiveView

PyView enables dynamic, real-time web apps, using server-rendered HTML.

Source Code: https://github.com/ogrodnek/pyview

Installation

pip install pyview-web

Quickstart

There's a cookiecutter template available

cookiecutter gh:ogrodnek/pyview-cookiecutter

Live Examples

https://examples.pyview.rocks/

Other Examples

Simple Counter

See it live!

count.py:

from pyview import LiveView, LiveViewSocket
from typing import TypedDict


class CountContext(TypedDict):
    count: int


class CountLiveView(LiveView[CountContext]):
    async def mount(self, socket: LiveViewSocket[CountContext], _session):
        socket.context = {"count": 0}

    async def handle_event(self, event, payload, socket: LiveViewSocket[CountContext]):
        if event == "decrement":
            socket.context["count"] -= 1

        if event == "increment":
            socket.context["count"] += 1

    async def handle_params(self, url, params, socket: LiveViewSocket[CountContext]):
        if "c" in params:
            socket.context["count"] = int(params["c"][0])

count.html:

<div>
  <h1>Count is {{count}}</h1>
  <button phx-click="decrement">-</button>
  <button phx-click="increment">+</button>
</div>

Acknowledgements

  • Obviously this project wouldn't exist without Phoenix LiveView, which is a wonderful paradigm and implementation. Besides using their ideas, we also directly use the LiveView JavaScript code.

  • Thanks to Donnie Flood for the encouragement, inspiration, help, and even pull requests to get this project started! Check out LiveViewJS for a TypeScript implementation of LiveView (that's much more mature than this one!)

  • Thanks to Darren Mulholland for both his Let's Build a Template Language tutorial, as well as his ibis template engine, which he very generously released into the public domain, and forms the basis of templating in PyView.

Additional Thanks
