Write html components directly in python and you have a beautiful but controversial MIXTure

Write html components directly in python and you have a beautiful but controversial MIXTure.

Yes, controversial.

If you don’t like it, ignore it (but you can use this without the html-in-python part, see below ;))

Based on pyxl. Python 3.6+ only.

Usage

Let’s create a file example.py

# coding: mixt

from mixt import html, Element, Required

class Hello(Element):
    class PropTypes:
        name: Required[str]

    def render(self, context):
        return <div>Hello, {self.name}</div>

print(<Hello name="World"/>)

And execute it:

$ python example.py
<div>Hello, World</div>

If you don’t like to write html in python, you can still use it:

from mixt import html, Element, Required

class Hello(Element):
    class PropTypes:
        name: Required[str]

    def render(self, context):
        return html.Div()("Hello, ", self.name)

print(Hello(name="World"))

There is more. Doc will come soon, we are still in early alpha :)

Installation

Run these two commands. The second one will tell python how to understand files with html inside.

pip install mixt
mixt-post-install

To check that everything is ready, run:

python -m mixt.example

You should have this output:

<div title="Greeting">Hello, World</div>

If you don’t want to use the html-in-python stuff, don’t run mixt-post-install. And then test with (to have the same output):

python -m mixt.example_pure_python

Development

Clone the git project then:

make dev

To check that everything is ready, run:

python -m mixt.example

You should have this output:

<div title="Greeting">Hello, World</div>

After having done some code:

make tests

make lint
