use Vue.js with pure Python

vue.py provides Python bindings for Vue.js. It uses brython to run Python in the browser.

Here is a simple example of an vue.py component

from browser import alert
from vue import VueComponent

class HelloVuePy(VueComponent):
    greeting = "Hello vue.py"

    def greet(self, event):
        alert(self.greeting)

    template = """
    <button @click="greet">click me</button>
    """

HelloVuePy("#app")

$ pip install vuepy

The goal is to provide a solution to write fully-featured Vue applications in pure Python.

To get an overview what currently is supported, have a look at the Documentation.

Have a look here to see whats planned!

See also the Limitations

Documentation for the last release is available here.

Documentation fo the current master branch can be found here.

Examples can be found here. These are vue.py versions of the Vue.js examples

Initial loading times of vue.py apps can be very long. Especially when loading a lot of python files. Still figuring out how to solve this.

Have not done any peformance tests, but havent noticed any issues with performance as soon as the app was fully loaded.

Open in gitpod.io

Get the code

$ git clone https://github.com/stefanhoelzl/vue.py.git
$ cd vue.py

Optionally you can create a venv

$ make env.up

Format the code

$ make format

Run tests

$ make tests           # runs all tets
$ make tests.unit      # runs unit tests
$ make tests.selenium  # runs selenium tests
$ make tests.cli       # runs cli tests
$ make tests TEST=cli/test_provider.py::TestRenderIndex::test_defaults # run explicit test

Run an example

$ make run APP=examples/tree_view  # makes example available on port 5000
