zenaura 0.15.7

Zenaura is an experimental Python library built upon PyScript, designed to empower Python developers to create stateful, component-based Single Page Applications (SPAs). By leveraging a virtual DOM implementation, Zenaura optimizes the performance, reactivity, responsiveness, and interactivity of web applications. This allows developers to build high-performance, dynamic web applications using familiar Python concepts and syntax.

• devolopment server requirements:
  • flask==2.3.3
  • watchdog==4.0.1
  • flask-sock==0.7.0

pip install zenaura flask==2.3.3 watchdog==4.0.1 flask-sock==0.7.0

This command will install zenaura library, client and server, CLI.

Creating your first zenaura app

In this example we will go over creating your first zenaura application, go over basic concepts as well.

Once you installed the library, the library, it comes with simple CLI tool.

CLI Commands:

- init: Will create simple zenaura application
- build : Will build the application
- run : Will run the development server

First let's initials a basic zenaura application:

zenaura init

This command will auto generate basic zenaura application with the needed files auto generated for you, so you can get up to speed with the library.

Auto generated files from init command:

• build.py : used for building zenaura application.
• index.py : simple zenaura server.
• public/components.py: single zenaura component.
• public/presentational.py: few zenaura presentational components created using builder interface.
• public/main.py : main file where we import components, create pages and configure the client router.
• public/routes.py : where your client side routes lives.
• public/main.css : the main css file.
• public/config.json: pyscript pydide configuration.

Building zenaura

zenaura build

This command will build index.html.

Running zenaura

zenaura run

This command will run the development server. Now open browser tab and go to localhost:5000.
