StarHTML — Python Web Framework

StarUI — Python Component Library

PyPI Version License

A Python-first hypermedia framework, forked from FastHTML. Uses Datastar instead of HTMX for the same hypermedia-driven approach with a different flavor.

Key Features

  • Python-First — Write reactive UIs using Python syntax with type safety and IDE support
  • Reactive Signals — Hypermedia approach with data-attribute-powered client-side reactivity where needed
  • Server-Sent Events — Built-in SSE support for real-time server interactions
  • Framework Agnostic — Works with any CSS framework (Tailwind, DaisyUI)
  • JavaScript Escape Hatch — Drop into raw JavaScript when needed for complex interactions

Quick Start

pip install starhtml

from starhtml import *

app, rt = star_app()

@rt('/')
def home():
    return Div(
        H1("StarHTML Demo"),

        # Define reactive state with signals
        Div(
            (counter := Signal("counter", 0)),  # Python-first signal definition

            # Reactive UI that updates automatically
            P("Count: ", Span(data_text=counter)),
            Button("+", data_on_click=counter.add(1)),
            Button("Reset", data_on_click=counter.set(0)),

            # Conditional styling
            data_class_active=counter > 0
        ),

        # Server-side interactions
        Button("Load Data", data_on_click=get("/api/data")),
        Div(id="content")
    )

@rt('/api/data')
def api_data():
    return Div("Data loaded from server!", id="content")

serve()

Run with python app.py and visit http://localhost:5001.
