textcompose 1.1.1

A Python library for building dynamic, structured text templates using a declarative, compose-based approach

TextCompose

TextCompose is a Python library for creating dynamic, structured text templates with an intuitive, component-based approach. Inspired by aiogram-dialog.

✨ Features

• 🧱 Flexible text composition from components
• 🔀 Conditional rendering support (when)
• 🔁 Grouping and repeating blocks
• 🎨 Formatting via f-string and Jinja2
• 🔌 Easily extensible with new components

🚀 Installation

uv add textcompose
# or
pip install textcompose

🧩 Components Overview

General

• Template — main class for combining and rendering components

Elements

Element — abstract base class for all element components

• Text — static text.
• Format — dynamic python f-string formatting
• Jinja — Jinja2 template rendering
• ProgressBar — show progress visually

Containers

Container — abstract base class for all container components

• Group — group children with custom separators.
• List — repeat templates for each item in a collection.

Logic Components

Logic — abstract base class for all container components

• If — conditionally show different blocks (use if_, then_, else_)

[!TIP] All components support the when parameter for conditional display (value, expression, function, or magic_filter).

⚡️ How to Use

All usage examples can be found in the example folder.

Quick Start

See how easy it is to build structured, interactive text blocks:

from magic_filter import F

from textcompose import Template
from textcompose.containers import Group, List
from textcompose.elements import Format, Jinja, Text
from textcompose.logics import If

template = Template(
    Format("Hello, {name}!"),
    Format("Status: {status}"),  # or `lambda ctx: f"Status: {ctx['status']}"` with function
    If(
        F["notifications"] > 0,  # `if_`: condition to check if there are notifications
        Format("You have {notifications} new notifications."),  # `then_`: content to render if condition is True
        Format("You not have new notifications."),  # `else_`: content to render if condition is False
    ),
    Group(
        Jinja("\nTotal messages {{ messages|length }}:"),
        List(
            Format("Time - {item[time]}:"),
            Format("-  {item[text]}"),
            sep="\n",  # `sep`: separator between list items
            inner_sep="\n",  # `inner_sep`: separator between parts of a single item
            getter=lambda ctx: ctx["messages"],  # `getter`: function or F to extract the list of messages from context
        ),
        sep="\n",  # `sep`: separator between children of Group
        when=F["messages"].len() > 0,  # `when`: show this block only if there are messages
    ),
    Text("\nThank you for using our service!"),  # or "Recent messages:" without class
)

context = {
    "name": "Alexey",
    "status": "Online",
    "notifications": 2,
    "messages": [
        {"text": "Your package has been delivered.", "time": "09:15"},
        {"text": "Reminder: meeting tomorrow at 10:00.", "time": "18:42"},
    ],
}

print(template.render(context))

Output:

Hello, Alexey!
Status: Online
You have 2 new notifications.

Total messages 2:
Time - 09:15:
-  Your package has been delivered.
Time - 18:42:
-  Reminder: meeting tomorrow at 10:00.

Thank you for using our service!

ProgressBar

The ProgressBar component renders a textual progress bar. It supports various styles, customizable width, templates, and dynamic values.

Usage

from textcompose.elements import ProgressBar

bar = ProgressBar(
    current=42,  # `current`: Current progress value
    total=100,  # `total`: Total value for the progress bar
    width=20,  # `width`: Number of characters in the bar.
    style="symbol_square",  # `style`: Style (string — built-in style name, or `ProgressBarStyle` object).
)
print(bar.render({}))

Output:

[■■■■■■■■        ] 42%

Styles

Built-in styles are listed in the PROGRESS_BAR_STYLES dictionary (see textcompose/styles/progress_bar.py). Examples:

• "symbol_square": [■■■■■ ]
• "symbol_classic": [#####-----]
• "emoj_square": 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜⬜
• "emoji_circle": 🟢🟢⚪⚪⚪

You can create a custom style using ProgressBarStyle:

from textcompose.styles import ProgressBarStyle
from textcompose.elements import ProgressBar


custom_style = ProgressBarStyle(
    left="<", fill="*", empty="-", right=">", template="{percent} {left}{bar}{right}"
)
bar = ProgressBar(current=7, total=10, width=10, style=custom_style)
print(bar.render({}))

Output:

70% <*******--->

Template

The template parameter in the style allows you to customize the output string. Available placeholders:

• {left} — left border
• {bar} — the bar itself (filled + empty part)
• {right} — right border
• {percent} — percent complete (e.g., 42%)
• {total} — maximum value
• {current} — current value
