HarmonixPy 0.0.2

A simple module for serving HTML and managing dependencies with Flask.

Here’s the updated README.md with the new additions and functionality for HarmonixPy:

---

HarmonixPy

HarmonixPy is a Python library designed to simplify the process of managing external files (e.g., HTML, CSS, JS, dependency files) in Python projects. It provides a seamless way to load and serve HTML files using Flask while automating the installation of dependencies from a requirements.txt file. It also allows you to customize the paths for HTML, CSS, and JS files for greater flexibility.

This library is ideal for developers working on lightweight backend projects or environments like Pydroid, which have limited support for external files.

---

Key Features

• File Management: Load and serve external HTML, CSS, and JS files in your Python project with minimal effort.
• Flask Integration: Dynamically serve HTML files using Flask’s render_template_string.
• Dependency Automation: Automatically install required dependencies from a requirements.txt file using subprocess.
• Customizable Paths: Flexible configuration for specifying the paths of your HTML, CSS, and JS files.
• Default File Creation: Automatically creates default HTML, CSS, and JS files if not provided.

---

Installation

Install HarmonixPy using pip:

pip install harmonixpy

---

Quick-Start Example

Here’s how to use HarmonixPy in your project:

Step 1: Create Your HTML, CSS, and JS Files

• Save your HTML file (e.g., templates/index.html).
• Save your CSS file (e.g., static/styles.css).
• Save your JavaScript file (e.g., static/scripts.js).
• Save your dependencies in a requirements.txt file, such as:

  flask
  requests
  beautifulsoup4
  

Step 2: Write Your Python Code

from harmonixpy import HarmonixPy

# Initialize the library with file paths
HarmonixPy(
    html_file="templates/custom_index.html",  # Path to the HTML file
    css_file="static/custom_styles.css",      # Path to the CSS file
    js_file="static/custom_scripts.js",       # Path to the JavaScript file
    requirements_file="custom_requirements.txt",  # Path to the requirements file
    static_folder="custom_static"             # Path to the static folder
)

Step 3: What Happens Under the Hood

1. HarmonixPy reads the HTML file and dynamically renders it using Flask.
2. It parses the requirements.txt file and installs missing dependencies automatically.
3. The app creates default files (HTML, CSS, JS) if they don’t exist.
4. A Flask web server is launched to serve the HTML file.

Step 4: Running the App

The app will automatically start and be accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5000/. Open this URL in your browser to see your HTML file rendered as a web page.

Requirements

• Python 3.7 or higher.
• Flask (installed automatically via the library).

---

Functions

HarmonixPy provides the following functions to manage the app configuration:

• html(file_path): Sets the path to the HTML file.
• css(file_path): Sets the path to the CSS file.
• js(file_path): Sets the path to the JavaScript file.
• dependency(file_path): Sets the path to the requirements.txt file.
• create_default_files(): Creates default HTML, CSS, and JS files if not already present.
• run(host="127.0.0.1", port=5000): Runs the Flask app at the specified host and port.

Usage Example with Individual Functions:

import harmonixpy as hmnx

# Set custom paths for HTML, CSS, and JS files
hmnx.html("templates/custom_index.html")
hmnx.css("static/custom_styles.css")
hmnx.js("static/custom_scripts.js")

# Set the requirements file and static folder
hmnx.dependency("custom_requirements.txt")
hmnx.run()  # Start the Flask app
