tempest-core 0.4.0

Renderer-agnostic UI core (IR, reconciler, state, style, widgets) shared by tempestroid and tempestweb.

📚 Documentation: Português (Brasil) · English (US) — bilingual, on GitHub Pages.

Renderer-agnostic UI core shared across the tempest stack — the engine behind both tempestroid (native renderers: Qt / Compose / Android) and tempestweb (DOM, WASM + server modes).

It is the one tree, many renderers core: the IR, the reconciler (build / diff), the state model (App), the typed style model (Style, Color, Edge), the widget and component trees, plus the cross-cutting helpers (animation, i18n, navigation, theme, validators). It carries no platform-coupled code — no Qt, no JNI, no Android, no DOM — so it imports cleanly under CPython, Pyodide and a headless server. Renderers live in the consumers; this package only produces and diffs the tree.

from tempest_core import App, Column, Text, Button, Style, build, diff

old = build(Column(children=[Text(content="Count: 0", key="label")]))
new = build(Column(children=[Text(content="Count: 1", key="label")]))
patches = diff(old, new)          # -> [Update(set_props={"content": "Count: 1"})]

Design system (Chakra-style variants → Material 3)

Components take Chakra-ergonomics props (variant/size/color_scheme) and a theme, and resolve a concrete Material 3 Style via pure resolvers in variants.py — resolve_variant (buttons), resolve_field_variant (text inputs / select / masked / autocomplete / pin), resolve_selection_variant (checkbox / switch) and resolve_slider_variant (sliders). Each ships a *_states sibling returning the per-state table (default/hover/pressed/disabled/ focus) the renderers apply on real events. The touch target is held ≥ 48dp and WCAG-AA contrast is preserved. An explicit style= is always merged on top.

from tempest_core import IconButton, Theme
from tempest_core.widgets import Input
from tempest_core.style import FieldVariant

field = Input(value="", field_variant=FieldVariant.FILLED, color_scheme="primary")
button = IconButton(icon="settings", color_scheme="primary", label="Open settings")

Install

pip install tempest-core

Requires Python >=3.11. Only hard dependency: pydantic>=2.

Status

Extracted from tempestroid's vendored core. tempestweb consumes it directly (no vendored copy). tempestroid's own migration to depend on this package — with its full Qt↔Compose conformance suite green — is the next phase.
