🚀 Quick Start

# Install WebLib
pip install weblib

# Create your first app
from weblib import *

app = WebApp(__name__)
set_css_framework('bootstrap')  # or 'tailwind', 'bulma'

@app.get('/')
def home(request):
    return Div([
        NavBar(brand="MyApp", links=[{"text": "Home", "url": "/"}]),
        Card(title="Welcome", text="Your app is ready!"),
        quick_line_chart("Sales", ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar"], [100, 150, 200])
    ]).render()

# Run ASGI server
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

💻 Live Demo

Check out our examples:

• 🌐 Landing Page: Professional marketing page showcasing WebLib features
• 🛍️ E-commerce Demo: Full shopping cart with products, categories, and admin panel
• 📊 Dashboard: Analytics dashboard with charts and metrics
• 🌟 Social Network: Complete social media platform with authentication, posts, and real-time updates

🎨 Multi-Framework CSS Support

Switch between CSS frameworks instantly without changing your Python code:

# Corporate Bootstrap look
set_css_framework('bootstrap')

# Modern Tailwind design  
set_css_framework('tailwind')

# Clean Bulma styling
set_css_framework('bulma')
Your app adapts automatically - same Python code, different visual results!

## 💾 Multi-Database Support

Seamlessly switch between databases without code changes:

# Development
db = get_db('sqlite:///dev.db')

# Production
db = get_db('postgresql://user:pass@prod:5432/db')

# Same ORM, same queries!
users = User.objects(db).filter(active=True).all()

Supported databases: SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB

📊 Built-in Charts & Visualization

Create stunning visualizations with one line:

# Line chart
chart = quick_line_chart("Revenue", months, revenue_data)

# Pie chart  
pie = quick_pie_chart("Categories", labels, values)

# Bar chart
bar = quick_bar_chart("Performance", quarters, performance_data)

# Embed in your page
dashboard = Div([
    H1("Analytics Dashboard"),
    chart,
    Row([Col(pie), Col(bar)])
]).render()

🧩 Rich UI Components

30+ ready-to-use components:

# Navigation
NavBar(brand="MyApp", links=[...], theme="dark")

# Layout
Container([
    Row([
        Col(Card(title="Feature 1", text="Description"), width=4),
        Col(Card(title="Feature 2", text="Description"), width=4),
        Col(Card(title="Feature 3", text="Description"), width=4)
    ])
])

# Forms
Form([
    Input("email", type="email", placeholder="Your email"),
    Input("password", type="password", placeholder="Password"),
    Button("Login", type="submit", classes=["btn-primary"])
])

# Data display
Table(data=users, headers=["Name", "Email", "Status"])

🔐 Built-in Authentication

Complete authentication system included:

@app.get('/dashboard')
@require_auth  # Built-in decorator
def dashboard(request):
    user = get_current_user()
    return Div([
        H1(f"Welcome, {user.name}!"),
        # ... dashboard content
    ])

# Login/logout routes auto-generated
# User management built-in
# Session handling included
