uvx --from "hedron>=0.20.0,<0.21" hedron new --flask my-flask-app

Quick start

from flask import Flask
from hedron_core import Heading, Page, Text
from hedron_core.interaction import FragmentRegion, InteractionResult
from hedron_flask import HedronBlueprint, HedronFlask

hedron = HedronFlask()
ui = HedronBlueprint("ui", __name__)
PANEL = FragmentRegion(id="panel", selector="#panel")


@ui.page("/")
def home():
    return Page(
        Heading("Hello Flask", level=1),
        Text("Native Flask routing with Hedron components."),
        title="Home",
    )


@ui.component("/fragment", fragment_regions=(PANEL,))
def fragment():
    return InteractionResult(content=Text("Fragment ok"), explanation="demo")


def create_app() -> Flask:
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.secret_key = "replace-in-production"
    hedron.init_app(app)
    app.register_blueprint(ui)
    return app

flask --app app:create_app run --reload
