Ludic

Documentation: https://ludic.readthedocs.io/

Ludic is a lightweight framework for building HTML pages with component approach similar to React. It is built to be used together with htmx.org so that developers don't need to write almost any JavaScript to create dynamic web services. It's potential can be leveraged together with its web framework which is a wrapper around powerful Starlette framework. It is built with the latest Python 3.12 features heavily incorporating typing.

Features

• Seamless </> htmx integration for rapid web development in pure Python
• React-like component approach with standard Python type hints
• Uses the power of Starlette and Async for high-performance web development
• Build HTML with the ease and power of Python f-strings

Requirements

Python 3.12+

Installation

pip install ludic[full]

Similar to Starlette, you'll also want to install an ASGI server:

pip install uvicorn

Example

components.py:

from typing import override

from ludic.html import a
from ludic.types import Attrs, Component

class LinkAttrs(Attrs):
    to: str

class Link(Component[str, LinkAttrs]):
    @override
    def render(self) -> a:
        return a(
            *self.children,
            href=self.attrs["to"],
            style={"color": "#abc"},
        )

Now you can use it like this:

link = Link("Hello, World!", to="/home")

web.py:

from ludic.web import LudicApp
from ludic.html import b, p

from .components import Link

app = LudicApp()

@app.get("/")
async def homepage() -> p:
    return p(f"Hello {b("Stranger")}! Click {Link("here", to="https://example.com")}!")

To run the application:

uvicorn web:app
