Creates user interfaces (websites and desktop apps) from HTML easily
Project description
Overview
ToUI is a Python package for creating user interfaces (websites and desktop apps) from HTML easily. No JavaScript knowledge is required, but some knowledge of HTML is usually required.
Why ToUI
- Converts HTML files into a responsive app.
- Simple to understand for programmers who only know Python and HTML.
- The method of creating websites and the method of creating desktop apps are similar, which makes it easy to convert a website to a desktop app and vice versa.
How to install
Run this command:
pip install toui
How to create a basic website
Import the required classes:
from toui import Website, Page
Create a Website
object:
app = Website(name=__name__, assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder", secret_key="some secret key")
Create a Page
and add it to the website:
main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)
Run the app:
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
The complete code:
from toui import Website, Page
app = Website(name=__name__, assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder",
secret_key="some secret key")
main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
How to create a desktop app
Creating a desktop app is similar to creating a website. Only replace Website
class with
DesktopApp
:
from toui import DesktopApp, Page
app = DesktopApp(name="MyApp", assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder")
main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
Make the app responsive
Check this example and other examples to learn how to make the website / desktop app responsive.
Deploy the app
You can deploy the web app the same way you deploy a Flask
app (How to deploy Flask app).
The only difference is that you need to access the Flask
object first:
app = Website(__name__)
flask_app = app.flask_app
Then you need to deploy the flask_app
and not the app
.
