JsWeb - A lightweight and modern Python web framework designed for speed and simplicity.

JsWeb: The Blazing-Fast ASGI Lightweight Python Web Framework

JsWeb is a modern, high-performance Python web framework built from the ground up on the ASGI standard. It's designed for developers who want the speed of asynchronous programming with the simplicity of a classic framework.

With built-in, zero-configuration AJAX and a focus on developer experience, JsWeb makes it easy to build fast, dynamic web applications without writing a single line of JavaScript.

Core Features

• Blazing-Fast ASGI Core: Built for speed and concurrency, compatible with servers like Uvicorn.
• Automatic AJAX: Forms and navigation are automatically handled in the background for a smooth, single-page-application feel with zero configuration.
• Elegant Routing: Define routes with a simple decorator syntax.
• Jinja2 Templating: Render dynamic HTML with a powerful and familiar templating engine.
• Built-in Security: Comes with CSRF protection, password hashing, and cache-control tools out of the box.
• Full-Featured Forms: A powerful, easy-to-use form library with validation.
• SQLAlchemy Integration: Includes Alembic for easy database migrations.
• Automatic Admin Panel: A production-ready admin interface for your models that's generated automatically.
• Modular Blueprints: Organize your code into clean, reusable components.
• Powerful CLI: A command-line interface for creating projects, running the server, and managing your database.

Command-Line Interface (CLI)

JsWeb comes with a powerful set of command-line tools to streamline your development workflow.

• jsweb run: Starts the development server.

  • --host <address>: Specify the host to run on (e.g., 0.0.0.0).
  • --port <number>: Specify the port.
  • --reload: Enable auto-reloading on code changes.
  • --qr: Display a QR code for accessing the server on your local network.

• jsweb new <project_name>: Creates a new, production-ready JsWeb project with a clean directory structure and all necessary files.

• jsweb db ...: A group of commands for managing your database migrations with Alembic.

  • jsweb db prepare -m "Your message": Generates a new database migration script based on changes to your models.
  • jsweb db upgrade: Applies all pending migrations to the database.
  • jsweb db downgrade: Reverts the last applied migration.

• jsweb create-admin: An interactive command to create a new administrator user in the database.

Installation & Setup

Get up and running in under a minute.

1. Install JsWeb:

   pip install jsweb
   

2. Create a new project:

   jsweb new my_project
   cd my_project
   

3. (Optional) Set up the database:

   jsweb db prepare -m "Initial migration"
   jsweb db upgrade
   

4. Run the development server:

   jsweb run --reload
   

Your new JsWeb project is now running with auto-reloading enabled!

Quickstart: A Real-World Example

Here’s how a simple but structured JsWeb application looks, using Blueprints to organize your code.

views.py

from jsweb import Blueprint, render

# 1. Create a "Blueprint" for a group of related pages.
views_bp = Blueprint('views')

# 2. Define a route on the blueprint.
@views_bp.route("/")
async def home(req):
    # The render function automatically finds your templates.
    return render(req, "welcome.html", {"user_name": "Guest"})

app.py

from jsweb import JsWebApp
import config

# Import the blueprint you just created.
from views import views_bp

# 3. Create the main application instance.
app = JsWebApp(config=config)

# 4. Register your blueprint with the app.
app.register_blueprint(views_bp)

# The `jsweb run` command will find and run this `app` instance.

This structure allows you to organize your application into logical components, making it clean and scalable from the very beginning.
