# Overview
ToUI is a Python package for creating user interfaces (websites and desktop apps)
from HTML easily. No JavaScript knowledge is required, but some knowledge of HTML
is usually required.

# Why ToUI
- Converts HTML files into a responsive app.
- Simple to understand for programmers who only know Python and HTML.
- The method of creating websites and the method of creating desktop apps are similar, which makes it easy to convert a website to desktop app and vice versa.

# How to install
Run this command:
```shell
pip install toui
```

# How to create a basic website
Import the required classes:
```python
from toui import Website, Page
```
Create a `Website` object:
```python
app = Website(name=__name__, assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder",  secret_key="some secret key")
```
Create a `Page` and add it to the website:
```python
main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)
```
Run the app:
```python
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
```
The complete code:
```python
from toui import Website, Page

app = Website(name=__name__, assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder", 
              secret_key="some secret key")

main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
```

# How to create a desktop app
Creating a desktop app is similar to creating a website. Only replace `Website` class with
`DesktopApp`:
```python
from toui import DesktopApp, Page

app = DesktopApp(name="MyApp", assets_folder="path/to/assets_folder")

main_page = Page(html_file="path/to/html", url="/")
app.add_pages(main_page)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
```

# Make the app responsive
Check this [example](https://toui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Examples.simple_website.html)
and [other examples](https://toui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Examples.html) to learn how
to make the website / desktop app responsive.

# Deploy the app
You can deploy the web app the same way you deploy a `Flask` app
[How to deploy Flask app](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/deploying/).
The only difference is that you need to access the `Flask` object first:
```python
app = Website(__name__)
flask_app = app.flask_app
```
Then you need to deploy the `flask_app` and not the `app`.
