Web-PyOctopus is a lightweight Python web framework designed for learning and experimentation, inspired by modern frameworks like Django and FastAPI.

Project description

Web-PyOctopus: A Lightweight Python Web Framework

Purpose PyPI

Web-PyOctopus is a lightweight and easy-to-use Python web framework built for learning purposes. It is a WSGI framework, meaning it can be used with any WSGI application server such as Gunicorn.

🚀 Installation

Install Web-PyOctopus using pip:

pip install web-pyoctopus

📌 Basic Usage

Create a simple Web-PyOctopus app:

from pyoctopus.api import OctopusAPI

app = OctopusAPI()

@app.route("/home")
def home(request, response):
    response.text = "Hello from the HOME page"

@app.route("/hello/{name}")
def greeting(request, response, name):
    response.text = f"Hello, {name}!"

Run it with a WSGI server like Gunicorn:

gunicorn app:app

📚 Routing & Class-Based Views

Define class-based views for better organization:

@app.route("/book")
class BooksResource:
    def get(self, req, resp):
        resp.text = "Books Page"

    def post(self, req, resp):
        resp.text = "Endpoint to create a book"

🎨 Template Rendering

Use templates for dynamic content:

@app.route("/template")
def template_handler(req, resp):
    resp.body = app.template(
        "index.html", context={"name": "Web-PyOctopus", "title": "Best Framework"}
    ).encode()

Change the default template directory:

app = OctopusAPI(templates_dir="custom_templates")

Example index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>{{ title }}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to {{ name }}</h1>
  </body>
</html>

📂 Static Files

By default, static files are served from the static directory. You can change it:

app = OctopusAPI(static_dir="assets")

Use them in HTML:

<link href="/static/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

🛠 Middleware Support

Create custom middleware by inheriting from Middleware:

from pyoctopus.middleware import Middleware

class SimpleLoggerMiddleware(Middleware):
    def process_request(self, req):
        print("Request received:", req.url)

    def process_response(self, req, res):
        print("Response sent:", req.url)

app.add_middleware(SimpleLoggerMiddleware)

🧪 Unit Testing

Use pytest for testing. Fixtures app and client help in writing tests:

def test_home_route(client):
    response = client.get("/home")
    assert response.text == "Hello from the HOME page"

Parameterized route testing:

def test_dynamic_route(client):
    response = client.get("/hello/Alice")
    assert response.text == "Hello, Alice!"
