Integrate React components into NiceGUI applications

NiceGUI React Integration

Integrate React components into your NiceGUI applications.

Introduction

I created this package to seamlessly embed React components within NiceGUI projects. It handles bundling your React code using Vite, serves the compiled assets, and provides a way to pass props from Python to React and handle events from React in Python.

Features

• Easy Integration: Embed React components directly into NiceGUI applications.
• Props and Events: Pass props and handle events between Python and React.
• Automatic Bundling: Automatically bundles your React code using Vite.
• Caching: Efficiently caches builds to improve performance during development.

Installation

Install the package via pip:

pip install nicegui-react

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher
• NiceGUI installed
• Node.js and npm installed (for building the React project)

Usage

Here's how to use the React class in your NiceGUI application:

from nicegui import ui
from nicegui_react import React

@ui.page("/")
async def index():
    with ui.card():
        ui.label('Here is the React component:')
        ui.button('Click me', on_click=lambda: react.props(title="Updated Title"))

        with ui.card_section():
            react = React(
                react_project_path="./path_to_your_react_project",
                main_component="App"  # Replace with your main component's name
            ).style('width: 100%; height: 100%;').props(
                title="Hello from Python!"
            ).on('onClick', lambda event: ui.notify(f'Clicked on React component: {event}'))

Parameters

• react_project_path (str): Path to your React project directory.
• main_component (str): Name of the main React component to render.
• component_id (str, optional): Unique identifier for the component instance.
• env (dict, optional): Environment variables to pass to the React app.
• use_legacy_peer_deps (bool, optional): Whether to use legacy peer dependencies during npm install.
• dev (bool, optional): If set to True, enables development mode.

Methods

• props(**kwargs): Update the props passed to the React component.
• on(event_name, handler): Register an event handler for events emitted from React.

Setting Up Your React Project

• Place your React project in a directory relative to your Python script.
• Ensure your package.json includes the necessary dependencies and scripts. The React class will help set this up if it's missing.
• Your main component should be properly exported.
