hyperflask 0.2.2

Full stack web framework

---

Full stack Python web framework to build websites and web apps with as little boilerplate as possible

hyperflask.dev • Get started • Docs • Example apps

A Flask-based (very) opiniated full-stack web framework where all the tech choices have been made. Hyperflask combines multiple Flask extensions and frontend libraries into a seamless experience.

Features and technologies:

• Web framework built on top of Flask as a set of extensions
• File-based and/or app-based routing
• A new file format combining python code in frontmatter and html templates to define routes
• SQL focused ORM with sqlorm, optimized for sqlite
• Modern asset pipeline using esbuild and tailwindcss
• Deep integration with htmx
• Easily create reusable backend and frontend components
• Build frontend components using Web Components, Alpine.js, React and more. Mix technologies at will.
• Component library based on daisyUI with icons from Bootstrap Icons
• Authentication and user management with social logins and MFA
• Static content collections to easily create blogs and manage static content
• File management with built-in image manipulation and S3 integration
• Template based emails with mjml support
• Background tasks using dramatiq with sqlite as the default broker
• Push support for realtime pages using server-sent events
• I18n using gettext
• Static, hybrid or dynamic modes for content serving

Hyperflask-Start should be used to create new projects:

• Dev environment based on Development Containers
• Optimized for VScode with breakpoint debugging for frontend and backend
• Mailpit for email testing
• Deployments using docker-web-deploy
