🏁 Quick Start

Installation & Setup

from PieShark.main import pieshark, request, form, session
from PieShark.blueprint import Blueprint
from PieShark.session import SESSION
from PieShark.cookie import Cookie
from PieShark.templates import Templates
from PieShark.pydejs import PY_deJS

# Initialize your application
app = pieshark(debug=True)

# Configure your app
app.config.update({
    'secret_key': 'your-super-secret-key-here',
    'session_permanent': True,
    'url_dbase': 'base://sqlite3:static',
    'limit_size_upload': 3089003  # ~3MB upload limit
})

Your First Route

@app.route("/")
async def home():
    session['user'] = 'Developer'
    return Templates(
        "<h1>Welcome to {{ framework }}!</h1>", 
        framework="PieShark"
    )

@app.route("/api/user/{user_id}")
async def get_user(user_id):
    return app.json_response({
        "user_id": user_id,
        "status": "active"
    })

---

🛣️ Advanced Routing

PieShark supports multiple routing patterns to fit your application's needs:

Dynamic Parameters

@app.route("/users/{user_id}/posts/{post_id}")
async def get_user_post(user_id, post_id):
    return f"User {user_id}, Post {post_id}"

HTTP Methods

@app.route("/api/data", methods=["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"])
async def handle_data():
    if request.method == "POST":
        # Handle POST data
        return app.json_response({"created": True})
    elif request.method == "GET":
        # Handle GET request
        return app.json_response({"data": "sample"})

---

🔐 Security Features

Session Management

@app.route("/login", methods=["POST"])
async def login():
    # Sessions are automatically encrypted
    session['user_id'] = 12345
    session['username'] = 'john_doe'
    session['roles'] = ['user', 'admin']
    return app.redirect("/dashboard")

@app.route("/dashboard")
async def dashboard():
    if not session.get('user_id'):
        return app.abort(401)
    return f"Welcome back, {session['username']}!"

Encrypted Cookies

# Initialize cookie handler with custom salt
cookie = Cookie(salt="your_custom_salt", app=app)

@app.route("/set-preference")
async def set_preference():
    # Cookies are automatically encrypted
    cookie.create("theme=dark&lang=en")
    return "Preferences saved!"

@app.route("/get-preference")
async def get_preference():
    # Decrypt and read cookie data
    theme = cookie.select.theme.decode()
    return f"Current theme: {theme}"

---

🧩 Modular Architecture with Blueprints

Organize your application into logical modules:

# auth_blueprint.py
auth_bp = Blueprint('auth', url_prefix='/auth')

@auth_bp.route('/login', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
async def login():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        username = form.username.decode()
        password = form.password.decode()
        
        # Your authentication logic here
        if authenticate(username, password):
            session['user'] = username
            return app.redirect('/dashboard')
    
    return Templates("""
        <form method="post">
            <input name="username" type="text" placeholder="Username" required>
            <input name="password" type="password" placeholder="Password" required>
            <button type="submit">Login</button>
        </form>
    """)

@auth_bp.route('/logout')
async def logout():
    session.clear()
    return app.redirect('/')

# Register blueprint in main app
app.register_blueprint(auth_bp)

---

🎨 Template System

Inline Templates

@app.route("/profile/{username}")
async def profile(username):
    user_data = get_user_data(username)  # Your data fetching logic
    
    return Templates("""
        <div class="profile">
            <h1>{{ user.name }}</h1>
            <p>Email: {{ user.email }}</p>
            <p>Joined: {{ user.join_date }}</p>
        </div>
    """, user=user_data)

File-based Templates

# For larger templates, use external files
@app.route("/complex-page")
async def complex_page():
    return Templates("complex_template.shark", 
                    title="My App",
                    data=fetch_page_data())

---

📁 Static File Handling

# Serve static files
app.static("static/", "/static/")
app.static("uploads/", "/files/")

# Now accessible at:
# /static/style.css -> static/style.css
# /files/document.pdf -> uploads/document.pdf

---

📤 Form Processing & File Uploads

@app.route("/upload", methods=["GET", "POST"])
async def upload_file():
    if request.method == "POST":
        # Access form data (automatically encrypted)
        title = form.title.decode()
        description = form.description.decode()
        
        # Handle file uploads
        uploaded_file = form.file  # File object
        if uploaded_file:
            filename = secure_filename(uploaded_file.filename)
            ///Logic your saving file
        
        return app.json_response({
            "status": "success",
            "title": title,
            "filename": filename
        })
    
    return Templates("""
        <form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            <input name="title" type="text" placeholder="Title" required>
            <textarea name="description" placeholder="Description"></textarea>
            <input name="file" type="file" required>
            <button type="submit">Upload</button>
        </form>
    """)

🔄 Middleware & Hooks

Request Lifecycle Hooks

@app.before_request
def authenticate_user():
    """Run before every request"""
    if request.path.startswith('/admin/'):
        if not session.get('is_admin'):
            return app.abort(403)

@app.after_request
def add_security_headers(response):
    """Run after every request"""
    response.headers['X-Content-Type-Options'] = 'nosniff'
    response.headers['X-Frame-Options'] = 'DENY'
    return response

Custom Middleware

class RequestTimingMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app
    
    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        start_time = time.time()
        response = self.app(environ, start_response)
        end_time = time.time()
        
        print(f"Request took {end_time - start_time:.2f}s")
        return response

# Apply middleware
app.wsgi_app = RequestTimingMiddleware(app.wsgi_app)

🌐 API Development

RESTful API Example

api_bp = Blueprint('api', url_prefix='/api/v1')

@api_bp.route('/users', methods=['GET'])
async def list_users():
    users = get_all_users()  # Your data logic
    return app.json_response({
        "users": users,
        "count": len(users)
    })

@api_bp.route('/users/{user_id}', methods=['GET', 'PUT', 'DELETE'])
async def handle_user(user_id):
    if request.method == 'GET':
        user = get_user_by_id(user_id)
        if not user:
            return app.json_response({"error": "User not found"}, status=404)
        return app.json_response(user)
    
    elif request.method == 'PUT':
        data = request.get_json()
        updated_user = update_user(user_id, data)
        return app.json_response(updated_user)
    
    elif request.method == 'DELETE':
        delete_user(user_id)
        return app.json_response({"message": "User deleted"})

app.register_blueprint(api_bp)

🛠️ Utilities & Helpers

CDN Resource Fetcher (PyDeJS)

deJS = PY_deJS()

minified_jquery = deJS.select("min")

# Use in templates
@app.route("/")
async def home():
    return Templates("""
        <script src="{{ jquery_url }}"></script>
        <h1>jQuery Loaded!</h1>
    """, jquery_url=minified_jquery)
