A Python-first hypermedia framework, forked from FastHTML. Uses Datastar instead of HTMX for the same hypermedia-driven approach with a different flavor.
Documentation · UI Components · Quick Start · Community · Issues
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.
