π€ domonic π€
A DOM for making HTML with python 3! (and more)
Install
python3 -m pip install domonic
# python3 -m pip install domonic --upgrade
Creating HTML with Python 3
from domonic.html import *
print(html(body(h1('Hello, World!'))))
# <html><body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body></html>
or to pretty format and insert the doctype, use an f-string:
mydom = html(body(h1('Hello, World!'), a("somelink", _href="somepage.html")))
print(f"{mydom}")
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<a href="somepage.html">somelink</a>
</body>
</html>
parsing html
Basic useage...
from domonic import domonic
mydom = domonic.parseString('<somehtml...')
To quickly parse a webapge try the window module...
from domonic.window import window
window.location = "http://www.google.com"
print(window.document.title)
Also try the xpath or css selectors on command line...
domonic -x https://google.com '//a' | uniq | sort

Namespace
Use the tags packaage if you want a namespace. i.e.
import domonic.tags
print(domonic.tags.h1)
# or
import domonic.tags as tags
str(tags.div)
# or
import domonic.tags as html
print(html.span)
or just import what you need...
from domonic import div, span, input as myinput, html as root
html attributes
prepend attributes with an underscore ( avoids clashing with python keywords )
test = label(_class='classname', _for="someinput")
print(test)
<label class="classname" for="someinput"></label>
rendering DOM objects
domonic is a pure python dom whos tree is composed of objects. i.e
div()
# <domonic.html.div object at 0x106b0e6b0>
cast str() on any element to render it without formatting.
el = str(div())
print(el)
# <div></div>
There's also a render method that takes 2 parameters, some domonic and an optional output file.
page = div(span('Hello World'))
render(f"{page}", 'index.html') # notice use of f-string to pretty print the html
There's a few new rendering options. See DOMConfig.
from domonic.dom import DOMConfig
print(DOMConfig.GLOBAL_AUTOESCAPE) # Default False
print(DOMConfig.RENDER_OPTIONAL_CLOSING_TAGS) # Default True
print(DOMConfig.RENDER_OPTIONAL_CLOSING_SLASH) # Defaults True
print(DOMConfig.SPACE_BEFORE_OPTIONAL_CLOSING_SLASH) # Default False
DOM
DOM manipulation with python.
createElement
to create your own elements use the DOM API
from domonic.dom import *
site = html()
el = document.createElement('myelement')
site.appendChild(el)
print(site)
# <html><myelement></myelement></html>
There's an evolving DOM API. To learn more about the webAPI click here.
And check the code/docs to see what's currently been implemented.
mysite.querySelectorAll('button')
mysite.querySelectorAll("a[rel=nofollow]")
mysite.querySelectorAll("a[href='#services']")
mysite.querySelectorAll("a[href$='technology']")
mysite.querySelectorAll('.fa-twitter')
somelinks = mysite.querySelectorAll("a[href*='twitter']")
for l in somelinks:
print(l.href)
To use the DOM either reference your root 'html' node or import the dom modules global 'document'
# access the document via the html tag
mydom = html()
# mydom.getElementbyID...
# or by importing the document global
from domonic.dom import document
# document.createElement...
print(document)
javascript
There is a javascript package that mimics the js API:
from domonic.javascript import Math
print(Math.random())
from domonic.javascript import Array
myArr=Array(1,2,3)
print(myArr.splice(1))
# [2, 3]
from domonic.javascript import URL
url = URL('https://somesite.com/blog/article-one#some-hash')
print(url.protocol) # https
print(url.host) # somesite.com
print(url.pathname) # /blog/article-one
print(url.hash) # #some-hash
# Use Global class to import all the js methods from the global namespace i.e
# from domonic.javascript import Global
# Global.decodeURIComponent(...
# Global.encodeComponent(...
# Global.setInterval(...
# from domonic.javascript import Date, String, Number
# etc..
Use setInterval and clearInterval with params
from domonic.javascript import setInterval, clearInterval
x=0
def hi(inc):
global x
x = x+inc
print(x)
test = setInterval(hi, 1000, 2)
import time
time.sleep(5)
clearInterval(test)
print(f"Final value of x:{x}")
Or for a single delayed function call use setTimeout, clearTimeout
from domonic.javascript import setTimeout, clearTimeout
timeoutID = setTimeout(hi, 1000)
You can call ()
on a stringvar to transform it into a Node
from domonic.javascript import String
test = String("Hi there!")
test('div', _style="font-color:red;")
str(test('div', _style="font-color:red;"))
# <div style="font-color:red;">Hi there!</div>
a-tags inherit URL:
from domonic.html import *
atag = a(_href="https://somesite.com:8000/blog/article-one#some-hash")
print('href:', atag.href)
# href: https://somesite.com:8000/blog/article-one#some-hash
print('protocol:', atag.protocol)
# protocol: https:
print('port:', atag.port)
# port: 8000
atag.protocol = "http"
atag.port = 8983
print(atag)
# <a href="http://somesite.com:8983/blog/article-one#some-hash">
For writing and using regular javascript, load from a src...
script(_src="/docs/5.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js", _integrity="sha384-1234", _crossorigin="anonymous"),
# <script src="/docs/5.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js" integrity="sha384-1234" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
or do inline js by opening triple quotes...
script("""
let itbe = ""
"""),
Styling
Styling is supported. Styles get passed to the style tag on render...
mytag = div("hi", _id="test")
mytag.style.backgroundColor = "black"
mytag.style.fontSize = "12px"
print(mytag)
# <div id="test" style="background-color:black;font-size:12px;">hi</div>
To use css use a link tag as you usually would...
link(_href="styles.css", _rel="stylesheet"),
or use triple quotes to open style tag...
style("""
.placeholder-img {
-webkit-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-ms-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
}
"""),
decorators
use decorators to wrap elements around function results
from domonic.decorators import el
@el(html, True)
@el(body)
@el(div)
def test():
return 'hi!'
print(test())
# <html><body><div>hi!</div></body></html>
# returns pyml objects so call str to render
assert str(test()) == '<html><body><div>hi!</div></body></html>'
It returns the tag object by default. You can pass True as a second param to the decorator to return a rendered string instead. Also accepts strings as first param i.e. custom tags.
data-tags
python doesn't allow hyphens in parameter names. so use variable keyword argument syntax for custom data-tags
div("test", **{"_data-test":"test"} )
# <div data-test="test">test</div>
or for example a colon...
t = div( **{"_:test":"something"} )
str(t)
# <div :test="something"></div>
JSON (utils)
decorate any function that returns python objects to return json instead
from domonic.decorators import as_json
import domonic.JSON as JSON
@as_json
def somefunc():
myObj = {"hi":[1,2,3]}
return myObj
print( somefunc() )
# {"hi":[1,2,3]}
print( JSON.is_json(somefunc()) )
# True
convert json arrays into html tables...
import domonic.JSON as JSON
# i.e. containting flat json array of dicts... [{"id":"01","name": "some item"},{"id":"02","name": "some other item"}]
json_data = JSON.parse_file('somefile.json')
mytable = JSON.tablify(json_data)
print(mytable)
convert json arrays into csv files...
import domonic.JSON as JSON
json_data = JSON.parse_file('somefile.json')
JSON.csvify(json_data, 'data.csv')
convert csv files to json...
import domonic.JSON as JSON
json_data =JSON.csv2json("data.csv")
print(json_data)
more to come...
SVG
All tags extend 'Element'. So will have DOM and magic methods available to them. See the docs.
circ = svg(
circle(_cx="50", _cy="50", _r="40", _stroke="green", **{"_stroke-width": "4"}, _fill="yellow"),
_width="100", _height="100",
)
mysvg = svg()
mysvg.appendChild(circ / 10)
print(mysvg)
Tweening
Tween values with the tween library:
from domonic.lerpy.easing import *
from domonic.lerpy.tween import *
someObj = {'x':0,'y':0,'z':0}
twn = Tween( someObj, { 'x':10, 'y':5, 'z':3 }, 6, Linear.easeIn )
twn.start()
aframe / x3d
3d tags can be used if you import the js
from domonic.html import *
from domonic.xml.aframe import *
from domonic.CDN import *
_scene = scene(
box(_position="-1 0.5 -3", _rotation="0 45 0", _color="#4CC3D9"),
sphere(_position="0 1.25 -5", _radius="1.25", _color="#EF2D5E"),
cylinder(_position="1 0.75 -3", _radius="0.5", _height="1.5", _color="#FFC65D"),
plane(_position="0 0 -4", _rotation="-90 0 0", _width="4", _height="4", _color="#7BC8A4"),
sky(_color="#ECECEC")
)
_webpage = html(head(),body(
script(_src=CDN_JS.AFRAME_1_2), # < NOTICE you need to import aframe to use it
str(_scene)
)
)
render( _webpage, 'hello.html' )
dQuery (NEW)
dQuery uses the ΒΊ symbol (alt+0).
from domonic.html import *
from domonic.dQuery import ΒΊ
d = html(head(body(li(_class='things'), div(_id="test"))))
print( ΒΊ('#test') )
# <div id="test">
print( ΒΊ('.things') )
# <li class="things">
mydiv = ΒΊ('<div class="test2"></div>')
# <domonic.dQuery.o object at 0x107d5c9a0>
b = ΒΊ('#test').append(mydiv)
print(b)
# <div id="test"><div class="test2"></div></div>
Only recently started so check to see what's implemented.
terminal
There is a command line package that can call bash/unix/posix and other apps on the command line:
This package only works on nix systems as it effectively just passes stuff off to subprocess.
from domonic.terminal import *
print(ls())
print(ls("-al"))
print(ls("../"))
print(pwd())
print(mkdir('somedir'))
print(touch('somefile'))
print(git('status'))
for file in ls( "-al" ):
print("Line : ", file)
for f in ls():
try:
print(f)
print(cat(f))
except Exception as e:
pass
for i, l in enumerate(cat('LICENSE.txt')):
print(i,l)
print(man("ls"))
print(echo('test'))
print(df())
print(du())
for thing in du():
print(thing)
print(find('.'))
# print(ping('eventual.technology'))# < TODO - need to strean output
print(cowsay('moo'))
print(wget('eventual.technology'))
print(date())
print(cal())
or just run arbitrary commands...
from domonic.terminal import command
command.run("echo hi")
Take a look at the code in 'terminal.py' to see all the commands as there's loads. (Disclaimer: not all tested.)
Windows users can use now use cmd.
from domonic.cmd import *
print(dir())
print(dir("..\\"))

python lifecalendar.py
run tests
There are tests used during dev. They are useful as code examples and to see what still needs doing.
See Makefile to run all tests:
make test # default tests ubuntu. so will fail on window when terminal test runs. comment out locally if that's the case
or to test a single function:
python -m unittest tests.test_javascript.TestCase.test_javascript_array
python -m unittest tests.test_dQuery.TestCase.test_addClass
python -m unittest tests.test_geom.TestCase.test_vec2
python3 -m unittest tests.test_cmd.TestCase.test_cmd_dir # only windows
or to test a whole module
python -m unittest tests.test_html
python -m unittest tests.test_CDN
to see coverage
coverage run -m unittest discover tests/
coverage report
or...
pip install pytest
pytest tests
Disclaimer
There's several more widely supported libraries doing HTML generation, DOM reading/manipulation, terminal wrappers etc. Maybe use one of those for production due to strictness and support.
This is more of a fast prototyping library.
