Web page templates for the aio asyncio framework
Project description
Web page templates for the aio asyncio framework
Build status
Installation
Requires python >= 3.4 to work
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>
