htmlclasses

Python in, HTML out.

There are templating engines making it possible to write code in HTML template files. However, I would very much prefer to be able to write Python that gets converted to HTML rather than write Python-like mini language engulfed in HTML.

Version

0.3.2

Goals

Generating valid HTML from pure Python code.

Non-goals

Features geared toward JavaScript.

I find using 2 intertwined languages too cumbersome.
JavaScript is heavily overused and misused. I don't want to add to the problem.

Installation

pip install htmlclasses

Developing

This project is managed with poetry: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry

git clone git@github.com:uigctaw/htmlclasses.git
poetry install

Running tests

./check_all.sh

Examples

To convert Python to HTML run:

from htmlclasses import to_string

to_string(html, indent='    ')

Hello World

from htmlclasses import E


class html(E):

    class head:
        pass

    class body:

        class p:

            TEXT = 'Hello, world!'

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head/>
    <body>
        <p>
            Hello, world!
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

Repeated Elements

from htmlclasses import E


class html(E):

    class head(E):  # Must sublcass if repeating tags

        class meta:
            name = 'description'
            content = 'Framework usage examples'

        class meta:  # type: ignore[no-redef]  # noqa: F811
            name = 'keywords'
            content = 'Python, HTML'

    class body:

        class p:

            TEXT = 'Hello, world!'

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta name="description" content="Framework usage examples"/>
        <meta name="keywords" content="Python, HTML"/>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>
            Hello, world!
        </p>
    </body>
</html>

Work in progress
