Core Concepts

Routing (core/routing.py)

• Router(prefix): Group routes under a prefix.
• Decorators: @router.get("/"), @router.post("/"), @router.put("/"), @router.delete("/"), @router.patch("/"), @router.websocket("/ws").
• router.route(path, methods, model): Generic route decorator with optional Pydantic model for OpenAPI docs.
• router.rest_crud_generate(...): Auto-generates GET all, GET by id, POST, PUT, DELETE endpoints + HTML CRUD view.
• router.swagger_ui() / router.openapi_json(): Auto-generated API documentation.
• Path parameters: /{id} with type conversion.

Database (core/database.py)

• Database(config): Supports sqlite, mysql, postgresql/psgr. Auto-creates database if not exists.
• db.connect(): Establish connection.
• db.query(query, params, return_rows, return_row): Raw SQL queries.
• db.query_orm(model, operation, instance, session, filters, values): ORM operations (select, insert, update, delete).
• db.migrate(use_base): Run migrations.
• Base: SQLAlchemy declarative base for model definitions.

Templates (core/templates.py)

• render(request, template, context, files_translate, lang_default): Render Jinja2 HTML.
• renderReact(request, component, props, options): Render React component as island with SSR-friendly output.
• renderMarkdown(request, file, css_files, js_files): Render Markdown files as HTML pages.
• react(component, props): Generate React mount point div.
• vite_assets(): Dev (hot reload) or production (manifest) Vite asset tags.
• Templates auto-inject: title, version, lang, translate, description, keywords, author.

Session (core/session.py)

• Session.setSession(new_val, response, name_cookie, max_age, ...): Create signed cookie.
• Session.unsign(key, request, max_age): Read and verify signed cookie.
• Session.getSessionValue(request, key, max_age): Convenience wrapper for unsign.
• Session.deleteSession(response, name_cookie): Remove session cookie.

App (core/app.py)

• App(debug, routes, cors, middleware, compress_type, trusted_hosts, public_folder, on_startup, on_shutdown).
• Built-in 404/500 error pages (detailed trace in DEBUG mode).
• Compression: gzip (default) or zstd.
• Debug mode: adds DebugMiddleware + debug panel at /debug.

Responses (core/responses.py)

• JSONResponse(data, status_code, serialize, headers): Auto-serializes Decimal, datetime, Pydantic models.
• HTMLResponse, RedirectResponse, PlainTextResponse, StreamingResponse.

Security (app/helpers/security.py)

• generate_token(name, value, minutes): JWT token generation.
• get_token(token): Decode JWT from Authorization header.
• get_user_by_token(request, key): Extract user ID from authorization token.
• Password hashing: argon2 via PasswordHasher.

i18n (app/helpers/translate.py)

• Translation files: app/locales/*.json with {"key": {"en": "...", "es": "..."} format.
• translate(file_name, request): Returns translated dict for current language.
• Language set via session cookie (lang).

CLI Commands

• lila-init: Initialize project structure.
• lila-model: Generate SQLAlchemy model.
• lila-scaffold_crud: Generate full REST CRUD + HTML interface.
• lila-auth: Scaffold authentication system.
• lila-admin: Generate admin panel.
• lila-migrations: Run database migrations.
• lila-minify: Minify CSS/JS for production.
• lila-react: Set up React + Vite integration.

Key Patterns

Adding a new route

from lila.core.routing import Router
from lila.core.request import Request
from lila.core.responses import JSONResponse

router = Router("api")

@router.get("/items")
async def get_items(request: Request):
    return JSONResponse({"items": []})

Database query

from app.connections import connection

items = connection.query("SELECT * FROM items WHERE active = 1", return_rows=True)
item = connection.query("SELECT * FROM items WHERE id = :id", params={"id": 1}, return_row=True)

ORM operations

session = connection.get_session()
new_id = connection.query_orm(model=Item, operation="insert", instance=Item(name="x"), session=session)
items = connection.query_orm(model=Item, operation="select", filters={"active": 1})
connection.query_orm(model=Item, operation="update", filters={"id": 1}, values={"name": "y"})
connection.query_orm(model=Item, operation="delete", filters={"id": 1})

Template rendering

from lila.core.templates import render
return render(request=request, template="pages/home", context={"items": items})

Session usage

from lila.core.session import Session
Session.setSession(new_val={"user_id": 1}, response=response, name_cookie="auth")
data = Session.unsign(key="auth", request=request, max_age=3600)

Configuration (.env)

SECRET_KEY=your-secret-key
DEBUG=True
PORT=8001
HOST=127.0.0.1
TITLE_PROJECT=My App
LANG_DEFAULT=en

Important Notes

• All route handlers are async functions receiving a Starlette Request object.
• Pydantic models are used for validation in rest_crud_generate and RequestParser.
• Passwords are auto-hashed with argon2 when password field is present in CRUD operations.
• delete_old_logs(days=30) runs on startup via on_startup lifecycle event.
• Production: set DEBUG=False, enable trusted_hosts, configure CORS properly.
