Hyperscript

Hyperscript is a lightweight library that allows you to write HTML with Python. It is heavily inspired by HyperScript.

Example usage

>>> print(h("p", "Hello world!"))
<p>Hello world!</p>

Class and id selectors

>>> print(h("p.class1#id", "Hello world!"))
<p class="class1" id="id">Hello world!</p>

Style

>>> print(h("p", "Hello world!", {"style": {"color": "red"}}))
<p style="color: red">Hello world!</p>

Nesting elements

>>> print(h("div", h("p", "Hello world!")))
<div><p>Hello world!</p></div>

Attributes

>>> print(h("a", {"href": "https://www.example.com"}, "link"))
<a href="https://www.example.com">link</a>

Boolean attributes

>>> print(h("input", {"type": "checkbox", "checked": True}))  # Behavior is the same if "checked" is None
<input type="checkbox" checked>
>>> print(h("input", {"type": "checkbox", "checked": ""}))
<input type="checkbox" checked="">
>>> print(h("input", {"type": "checkbox", "checked": False}))
<input type="checkbox">

Filtering out empty elements

>>> print(h("div", h("p", "Hello"), h("div", ""), h("p", "world!")))
<div><p>Hello</p><div></div><p>world!</p></div>
>>> print(h("div", h("p", "Hello"), h("div", ""), h("p", "world!"), remove_empty=True))
<div><p>Hello</p><p>world!</p></div>
