SapphireCMS

SapphireCMS is a modern, open-source, and easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) for building websites. SapphireCMS is built on top of Python and is designed to be simple, flexible, and extensible. It is a great choice for building websites, blogs, and web applications. SapphireCMS is designed with simplicity, customizability, performance, and developer-friendliness in mind. SapphireCMS features a powerful and flexible theming system, a pythonic templating engine, and a simple and easy-to-use API for building web applications.

CLI

A CLI application for managing SapphireCMS websites.

• Create a new SapphireCMS installation:

  sapphire install [-h] [-e] [name]

  name: The name of the new SapphireCMS website -e, --env: Create a new environment for this SapphireCMS website

• Manage website configurations:

  sapphire config [-h] [{setactive,set,get,create,list}] [id] [data]

  {setactive,set,get,create,list}: The action to perform on the current SapphireCMS website id: Identifier of the configuration to perform the action on data: Data to set the configuration to (Only for action 'set')

• Run the current SapphireCMS website:

  sapphire run [-h] [{dev,prod}]

  {dev,prod}: The mode to run the current SapphireCMS website in

• Serve the current SapphireCMS website (same as sapphire run prod):

  sapphire serve [-h]

• Enable or disable the system service for the current SapphireCMS website:

  sapphire service [-h] [{start,stop,restart}]

  {start,stop,restart}: Enable or disable the system service for the current SapphireCMS website

• Manage themes for the current SapphireCMS website:

  sapphire theme [-h] [{add,remove,list}] [id]

  {add,remove,list}: The action to perform on the current SapphireCMS website id: Identifier of the theme to perform the action on (Can be a name or a URL for adding a theme)

• Get the version of the current SapphireCMS environment (same as pip install --upgrade sapphirecms):

  sapphire update

• Get help for the SapphireCMS CLI.:

  sapphire -h

Routing

A router with sub-routing and proxy-routing

Router

from sapphirecms.routing import Router, Request
router =  Router()

router.add_route("/hi/<name>", "GET")(lambda  request, slug: f"Hello {name}!")
print(router.route(Request("GET /hi/User HTTP/1.1\r\n")))

Sub-Router

subrouter =  Router("subsite", prefix="/web1", ctx=__name__)
subrouter.add_route("/home", "GET")(lambda  request: f"Welcome to subsite!")

router.add_subrouter(subrouter)

print(router.route(Request("GET /web1/home HTTP/1.1\r\n")))

Proxy-Router

from sapphirecms.routing import ProxyRouter

proxyrouter =  ProxyRouter("p", internal_path="/proxy", external_path="http://someserv.er/entry/path")

router.add_proxy(proxyrouter)

print(router.route(Request("GET /proxy/remotepath HTTP/1.1\r\n")))

Templating

A Pythonic templating engine that allows you to define and modify webpages using Python with prerendering capability.

Example:

1. Define reuseable components

   # type: ignore[a,abbr,address,area,article,aside,audio,b,base,bdi,bdo,blockquote,body,br,button,canvas,caption,cite,code,col,colgroup,command,datalist,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,em,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,head,header,hgroup,hr,html,i,iframe,img,input,ins,kbd,keygen,label,legend,li,link,map,mark,math,menu,meta,meter,nav,noscript,object,ol,optgroup,option,output,p,param,pre,progress,q,rp,rt,ruby,s,samp,script,section,select,small,source,span,strong,style,sub,summary,sup,svg,table,tbody,td,textarea,tfoot,th,thead,time,title,tr,track,u,ul,var,video,wbr]
   from sapphirecms import html
   from themes import get_active_theme
   
   html.initialize(__name__)
   theme =  get_active_theme().THEME()
   
   navigation = theme.navigation([
       ("Home", "/"),
       ("Documentation", "/docs"),
   ]
   

2. Initialise templating on pages with definitions

   # type: ignore[a,abbr,address,area,article,aside,audio,b,base,bdi,bdo,blockquote,body,br,button,canvas,caption,cite,code,col,colgroup,command,datalist,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,em,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,head,header,hgroup,hr,html,i,iframe,img,input,ins,kbd,keygen,label,legend,li,link,map,mark,math,menu,meta,meter,nav,noscript,object,ol,optgroup,option,output,p,param,pre,progress,q,rp,rt,ruby,s,samp,script,section,select,small,source,span,strong,style,sub,summary,sup,svg,table,tbody,td,textarea,tfoot,th,thead,time,title,tr,track,u,ul,var,video,wbr]
   from sapphirecms import html
   from pages import theme, navigation
   
   html.initialize(__name__)  
   

3. Define a new page

   class Index(Page):
       def  __init__(self, name):
           self.tree = theme.base(
               pagetitle="Sapphire Landing",
               navigation=navigation,
               content=[
                   h1(children=f"Welcome to {name}"),
                   p(children="{name} is a modern, open-source, and easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) for building websites."),
               ]
           )
   

4. Render the page on '/':

   from pages.index import Index
   index = Index("SapphireCMS") # Given this is a static page, we can use Index("SapphireCMS").prerendered() to avoid wasting resources on repeated renders. You still need to call .render() as only the tree is prerendered, not the Page object.
   
   router.add_route("/", "GET")(lambda  request: index.render())
   

Serving & Sockets

Sockets

A simple and easy-to-use socket abstraction with HTTP and HTTPs. To be updated to support WebSockets and other socket types in the future.

Server

The layer that manages the sockets and workers and uses the router to route requests to the correct handler.

Example:

from sapphirecms.networking import Server, Socket

router = Router()
server = Server(5, router, auto_reload=True, debug=True, secret_key=config.active.secret_key)

router.add_route("/", "GET")(lambda  request: index.render())

server.start([Socket("0.0.0.0", 80, 1024)])

Security

A security layer that manages the security of the website and the server. To be updated to support more security features in the future along with documentation.

Storage

A storage layer that manages the storage of the website and the server. Currently supports MongoDB. To be updated to support more Database Management Systems and storage types in the future along with documentation.

Example Application:

 from sapphirecms.routing import Router, Request
 from sapphirecms.networking import Server, Socket
 from sapphirecms import html

 html.initialize(__name__)

 router = Router()
 server = Server(5, router, auto_reload=True, debug=True, secret_key=config.active.secret_key)

 router.add_route("/", "GET")(lambda  request: "Hello, World!")

 server.start([Socket("0.0.0.0", 8080, 1024)])
