## Overview
**Syqlorix** is a hyper-minimalist Python package for building full HTML documents—including **CSS** and **JavaScript**—from a **single Python script**. It offers a pure Python DSL (Domain-Specific Language) for authoring web interfaces, with a built-in live-reloading server, dynamic routing, and a simple build process.
It is designed for developers who want to create web UIs and simple APIs without leaving the comfort of Python.
### Core Design Principles
* **All-in-One**: Write entire pages in one `.py` file.
* **Minimal API**: Small surface area, quick to learn.
* **Super Readable**: Feels like Python, acts like HTML.
* **Zero-Config**: Sensible defaults for instant productivity.
---
## Key Features
* **Pure Python HTML:** Generate any HTML element using Python objects and operators.
* **Enhanced Live Reload Server:** The dev server automatically reloads your browser on code changes across your project, including files in the `static/` directory and your main Python script, enabling seamless multi-file development.
* **Dynamic Routing:** Create clean routes with variable paths (e.g., `/user/<username>`).
* **POST/GET Handling:** Easily handle different HTTP methods to process form data.
* **JSON API Responses:** Return a `dict` or `list` from a route to create an API endpoint.
* **Static File Serving:** Automatically serves files from a `./static` directory.
* **Zero-Config Build:** Compile your app into a single, minified HTML file for production.
* **Simple CLI:** Get started instantly with `init`, `run`, and `build` commands.
## Quick Start
1. **Install Syqlorix:**
```bash
pip install syqlorix
```
2. **Create a file `app.py`:**
```python
# app.py
from syqlorix import *
doc / h1("Hello from Syqlorix!")
doc / p("This is a web page generated entirely from Python.")
```
3. **Run the development server:**
```bash
syqlorix run app.py
```
4. Open your browser to `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. That's it!

### Serving Static Files
Create a folder named `static` in your project directory. Any files inside it (e.g., `static/logo.png`, `static/custom.css`) will be served automatically from the root URL path.
```python
# Reference a static file in your code
doc / img(src="/logo.png", alt="My Logo")
doc / link(rel="stylesheet", href="/custom.css")
```
*Changes to any files within the `static` directory (e.g., `custom.css`, `logo.png`) will automatically trigger a live reload in your browser.*
### Dynamic Routing
Define routes with variable sections using `<var_name>` syntax. The captured values are available in `request.path_params`.
```python
@doc.route('/user/<username>')
def user_profile(request):
username = request.path_params.get('username', 'Guest')
return h1(f"Hello, {username}!")
```
### Handling Forms & POST Requests
Specify which HTTP methods a route accepts with the `methods` argument. The `request` object contains `form_data` for form submissions.
```python
@doc.route('/message', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def message_form(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_message = request.form_data.get('message', 'nothing')
return h1(f"You sent: '{user_message}'")
# On GET request, show the form
return form(
input_(type="text", name="message"), # Use input_ to avoid conflict
button("Submit"),
method="POST"
)
```
### Returning JSON for APIs
Simply return a Python dictionary or list from a route to create a JSON API. Syqlorix automatically sets the correct `Content-Type` header.
```python
@doc.route('/api/health')
def health_check(request):
return {"status": "ok", "method": request.method}
```

<summary><h2><strong>› Click to view Command-Line Interface (CLI)</strong></h2></summary>
Syqlorix comes with a simple and powerful CLI.
* #### `syqlorix init [filename]`
Creates a new project file with a helpful template to get you started. Automatically ensures the filename ends with `.py` (e.g., `syqlorix init my_app` creates `my_app.py`, `syqlorix init page.html` creates `page.html.py`). Defaults to `app.py`.
```bash
syqlorix init my_cool_app
```
(This will create `my_cool_app.py`)
* #### `syqlorix run <file>`
Runs the live-reloading development server. It will automatically find an open port if the default is busy.
* `--port <number>`: Specify a starting port (defaults to 8000).
* `--no-reload`: Disable the live-reload feature.
```bash
syqlorix run app.py --port 8080
```
* #### `syqlorix build <file>`
Builds a single, static HTML file from your script's default state. This command does not execute routes.
* `--output <filename>` or `-o <filename>`: Set the output file name.
* `--minify`: Minifies the HTML and any inline CSS/JS for production.
```bash
syqlorix build main.py -o index.html --minify
```
</details>
## Target Use Cases
* **Fast Prototyping**: Quickly mock up web interfaces without juggling multiple files.
* **Simple Dashboards**: Create internal tools or data visualizations.
* **Educational Tools**: A clear, Python-only way to demonstrate web fundamentals.
* **Simple APIs**: Build and serve JSON data from Python scripts.
* **Single-File Web Apps**: Package an entire web utility into one `.py` file.
