aio.web.page

Web page templates for the aio asyncio framework

Build status

https://travis-ci.org/phlax/aio.web.page.svg?branch=master

Installation

Requires python >= 3.4

Install with:

pip install aio.web.page

Quick start - hello world web page

Save the following into a file “hello.conf”

[aio]
modules = aio.web.server

[server/my_server]
factory = aio.web.server.factory
port = 8080

[web/my_server]
template_dirs = templates

[web/my_server/my_route]
match = /
route = my_example.route_handler

And save the following into a file named “my_example.py”

import aio.web.page
import aio.web.server

@aio.web.page.template('example_page.html')
def template_handler(request):
    return {"message": "Hello template world"}

@aio.web.server.route
def route_handler(request, config):
    return (yield from template_handler(request))

And the following into a file named “templates/example_page.html”

<html>
  <body>
    {{ message }}
  </body>
</html>

Run with the aio run command

aio run -c hello.conf

aio.web.page usage

aio.web.page provides templates and fragments for building web pages

Lets set up a test to run a server and request a web page

>>> from aio.app.runner import runner
>>> import aio.testing
>>> import aiohttp

>>> @aio.testing.run_forever(sleep=1)
... def run_web_server(config, request_page="http://localhost:7070"):
...     yield from runner(['run'], config_string=config)
...
...     def call_web_server():
...         result = yield from (
...             yield from aiohttp.request(
...                "GET", request_page)).read()
...         aio.web.server.clear()
...
...         print(result.decode())
...
...     return call_web_server

Templates

An @aio.web.server.route handler can defer to other templates, for example according to the matched path.

>>> example_config = """
... [aio]
... log_level = CRITICAL
... modules = aio.web.server
...        aio.web.server.tests
...
... [server/server_name]
... factory: aio.web.server.factory
... port: 7070
...
... [web/server_name/route_name]
... match = /{path:.*}
... route = aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler
... """

Lets create a couple of template handlers

>>> import aio.web.page

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler_1(request):
...     return {
...         'message': "Hello, world from template handler 1"}

Template handlers can return a response object, in which case the template is not rendered

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler_2(request):
...     return aiohttp.web.Response(
...         body=b"Hello, world from template handler 2")

And lets set up a route handler which will defer to a template accordingly

>>> import aio.web.server

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     path = request.match_info['path']
...
...     if path == "path1":
...         return (yield from template_handler_1(request))
...
...     elif path == "path2":
...         return (yield from template_handler_2(request))
...
...     raise aiohttp.web.HTTPNotFound

And make it importable

>>> import aio.web.page.tests
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

Calling the server at /path1 we get the templated handler

>>> run_web_server(
...     example_config,
...     request_page="http://localhost:7070/path1")
<html>
  <body>
    Hello, world from template handler 1
  </body>
</html>

And calling on /path2 we get the response without the template

>>> run_web_server(
...     example_config,
...     request_page="http://localhost:7070/path2")
Hello, world from template handler 2

Templates must always specify a template, even if they dont use it

>>> try:
...     @aio.web.page.template
...     def template_handler(request, test_list):
...         return {'test_list': test_list}
... except Exception as e:
...     print(repr(e))
TypeError('Template decorator must specify template: <function template_handler ...>',)

Templates can take arbitrary arguments

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request, foo, bar):
...     return {
...         'message': "Hello, world with %s and %s" % (foo, bar)}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request, "spam", "tuesday")))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    Hello, world with spam and tuesday
  </body>
</html>

The first argument to a template should always be a request object

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(foo, bar):
...     return {
...         'message': "Hello, world with %s and %s" % (foo, bar)}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     try:
...         return (yield from(template_handler("spam", "tuesday")))
...     except TypeError as e:
...         return aiohttp.web.Response(body=repr(e).encode())
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
TypeError("Template handler (<function template_handler at ...>) should be called with a request object, got: <class 'str'> spam",)

Fragments

Fragments render a snippet of html for embedding in other templates.

Fragments can specify a template and return a context object to render it with

A fragment can take an arbitrary number of arguments

>>> @aio.web.page.fragment("fragments/test_fragment.html")
... def fragment_handler(request, foo, bar):
...     return {"test_list": [foo, bar]}

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request):
...     return {'message': (yield from fragment_handler(request, "eggs", "thursday"))}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request)))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li>eggs</li><li>thursday</li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

The first argument to a fragment should always be an aiohttp.web.Request object

>>> @aio.web.page.fragment("fragments/test_fragment.html")
... def fragment_handler(foo, bar):
...     return {"test_list": [foo, bar]}

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request):
...     try:
...         message = (yield from(fragment_handler("eggs", "thursday")))
...     except Exception as e:
...         message = repr(e)
...     return {'message': message}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request)))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    TypeError("Fragment handler (<function fragment_handler ...>) should be called with a request object, got: <class 'str'> eggs",)
  </body>
</html>

Fragments do not need to specify a template

>>> @aio.web.page.fragment
... def fragment_handler(request):
...     return "Hello from fragment"

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request):
...     return {'message': (yield from fragment_handler(request))}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request)))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    Hello from fragment
  </body>
</html>

If a fragment doesnt specify a template, it must return a string

>>> @aio.web.page.fragment
... def fragment_handler(request):
...     return {"foo": "bar"}

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request):
...     try:
...         fragment = yield from fragment_handler(request)
...     except Exception as e:
...         fragment = repr(e)
...     return {'message': fragment}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request)))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    TypeError('Fragment handler (<function fragment_handler at ...>) should specify a template or return a string',)
  </body>
</html>

Fragments should only return strings or context dictionaries, and should not return an aiohttp.web.Response object.

>>> @aio.web.page.fragment("fragments/test_fragment.html")
... def fragment_handler(request):
...     return aiohttp.web.Response(body=b"Fragments should not return Response objects")

>>> @aio.web.page.template("test_template.html")
... def template_handler(request):
...     try:
...         fragment = yield from fragment_handler(request)
...     except Exception as e:
...         fragment = repr(e)
...     return {'message': fragment}

>>> @aio.web.server.route
... def route_handler(request, config):
...     return (yield from(template_handler(request)))
>>> aio.web.page.tests._example_route_handler = route_handler

>>> run_web_server(example_config)
<html>
  <body>
    TypeError("Fragment handler (<function fragment_handler ...>) should return a string or context dictionary, got: <class 'aiohttp.web_reqrep.Response'> <Response OK not started>",)
  </body>
</html>
