cakeui
Desktop apps with Python and a web frontend, no Rust or bundler required.
This is the runtime package. It wraps pywebview,
validates arguments with Pydantic, and ships the JavaScript bridge your frontend
imports. For scaffolding, the dev server and Nuitka packaging, install
cakeui-cli instead.
Install
pip install cakeui # runtime only
pip install cakeui-cli # the `cakeui` command, which needs this runtime
Hello world
from cakeui import App
app = App(title="Notes")
@app.command
def save_note(text: str) -> dict[str, str]:
return {"saved": text}
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
const { saved } = await cakeui.invoke("save_note", { text: "buy cake" });
save_note is checked against its annotations before the body runs, so a bad
call from JavaScript is rejected with structured data instead of a string in
console.log.
What is in the box
App, @app.command, @app.on |
the command and event layer |
| Pydantic validation | arguments and return values, with structured errors |
Window injection |
window.emit, evaluate, show, hide, close |
resource_path |
find bundled files in dev and after packaging |
_bridge.js / _bridge.mjs |
the prebuilt frontend bridge, copied into your project |
The bridge files are generated from the js/ directory in the repository, so
the runtime and the npm package cannot drift apart.
