Python UI for Web Apps

PageBuilder

PageBuilder is a Python library that offers a simple and intuitive way to create UI components for web apps without the need to write HTML code.

Key Features

• Provides semantic Python components that compile into HTML, making it easy to use with any web framework.
• Comes with a range of semantic Python components, including headers, text, forms, buttons, and links.
• Is designed to work well with Python autocomplete, enabling quick and easy exploration of the available components and their arguments.
• Offers an alternative to hand-coding Flask templates, streamlining UI development for web apps.
• The default style uses TailwindCSS, a popular CSS framework known for its utility-first approach.
• Allows you to insert any HTML into the page by using the Page.add_html() method, providing you with the flexibility to add custom components or use third-party libraries as needed.
• Offers an easy-to-use theming system, allowing you to choose from a variety of pre-built themes, including the default theme based on TailwindCSS.
• Allows for additional themes to be added using different CSS frameworks by accepting pull requests from contributors.

Why PageBuilder?

PageBuilder is a great fit for developers who want to:

• Create UI components for web apps using Python code without the need to write HTML.
• Use a Python library that works seamlessly with any web framework.
• Build UIs using a range of semantic Python components with explicit arguments.
• Use a utility-first CSS framework, such as TailwindCSS, to style their UI components without the need for custom CSS code.
• Insert any HTML into the page when a pre-built component doesn't fit their needs.
• Customize the style of their UI components by choosing from a variety of pre-built themes or by contributing new themes that use different CSS frameworks.
• Getting Started
• To get started with PageBuilder, simply install the library using pip:

pip install pagebuilder

Once installed, you can begin creating UI components by creating a new Page object and adding components to it using the add_* methods. You can then return the page as HTML by calling page.to_html().

For example, to create a new page with a header and a paragraph of text, you could use the following code:

import pagebuilder as pb

page = pb.Page()
page.add_header("Welcome to PageBuilder!")
page.add_text("PageBuilder is a Python library for creating UI components for web apps without the need to write HTML code.")
print(page.to_html())

This will output the following HTML:

<div id="page-container" class="container px-5 my-5 mx-auto">
    <p class="mb-4 font-extrabold leading-none tracking-tight text-gray-900 dark:text-white  text-xl sm:text-5xl ">Welcome to PageBuilder!</p>
<p class="mb-6 text-lg font-normal text-gray-500 lg:text-xl dark:text-gray-400">PageBuilder is a Python library for creating UI components for web apps without the need to write HTML code.</p> 
</div>
