While the design of it violates the separation of concern principle (keep data and code separate), I have to say this is most impressive, thanks for writing and sharing it. I have always been reluctant to accept any boilerplate code (esp. such that one cannot fully understand) in my codebase, and this does not have ANY! All the sample code looks absolutely beautiful, so I will give this a try for my next Web app proj…

Can you explain how this doesn't keep data and code separate? Not sure what you mean.

Frameworks like this are really next-gen, but I wish people would think in terms of the bigger Python ecosystem and not just their own framework. This is about the fifth web framework which are not compatible with each other: Streamlit, ReactPy, FastHTML, Dash, Shiny, etc..

I created a truly reusable Python component framework which is just a a string generation library and can be used for ANY existing Python web framework and even more: HTML, XML, RSS, SVG generation, even robots.txt generation as a silly example. I use it with Django and HTMX but it doesn't have an opinion about anything how should you use it. If you pass a Component to Django HttpResponse instead of a string or template, it just works.

I guess I should just write some documentation and release it before the 6th one of these appears :) so we ALL can collaborate with the same API on a bunch of Component sets like Twitter Bootstrap or Material components!

Weirdly topical. Currently investigating Django as a backend for product redevelopment. I'd like to avoid a fully separate frontend app, because frankly it's overkill. I was thinking of HTMX, Alpine, and cobbling together some component-esque template organization. I'll check this out!

Hey fastHTML team, congratulations on first public release of fastHTML. I just want to point out fastHTML, fastAI and fastAPI can bering together to form a python stack for training, deploying ml application python native fashion. The stack will known as faststack

I wasn’t expecting to see Jeremy when I opened the link. I’m a long time fan of his work and have been recently playing with Claudette. Claudette is written using a Jupyter notebook in a literate programming style. Seeing Jeremy deconstruct problems and build solutions from first principles is always amazing. I have experience with multiple JS frameworks and I am excited to try fasthtml. Thank you Jeremy for all your contributions.

I think this is a very useful framework to write about on Wikipedia on how not to use HTML in your python code. There's a canonical reason on why we shouldn't. Readability, reusability ... the list goes on.

I'm not sure I understand your perspective, we've been using HTML + template library for a while with great success as an industry, across multiple languages.

From what I understand is this adds JS bindings.
