| 1 | +# Brython Examples |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This set of examples is intended to accompany the [Real Python](https://realpython.com/) tutorial [Brython: Python in Your Browser](https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser). |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Most of the examples are found in the article and others are extras that did not fit in the scope of the article. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +## async |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +* Project demonstrating how to use Brython asynchronous functions to request data from a server API |
| 10 | +* In the following examples, the API is a simple text file that returns the text "Real Python" |
| 11 | +* To test the examples, execute a local web server in the respective directory |
| 12 | +* The recommended Python development server is started with: `python -m http.server` |
| 13 | +* https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#applying-asynchronous-development-in-brython |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +### aio |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +* Demonstrates the usage of `browser.aio`, the substitute to `asyncio` in Brython |
| 18 | +* This example is in the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#async-io-in-brython |
| 19 | +* https://www.brython.info/static_doc/en/aio.html |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### ajax |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +* Demonstrates the usage of `browser.ajax` |
| 24 | +* This example is in the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#ajax-in-brython |
| 25 | +* https://www.brython.info/static_doc/en/ajax.html |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### fetch |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +* Demonstrates the usage of JavaScript `fetch` from Brython |
| 30 | +* This example is not in the tutorial and is provided as an extra. It is related to this section: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#applying-asynchronous-development-in-brython |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +## Base64 |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Examples demonstrating how to access the DOM API starting from an app that takes a string as input, generates the Base64-encoded value of the string, and displays it on the page. Each example is slightly different as stated in the following sections. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +### embed |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +* The application is a single `index.htm` with embedded Python code. It can be executed by opening the file with an internet browser. Starting a local web server is not required |
| 39 | +* The user enters the string to be encoded through the standard prompt message box of the browser. |
| 40 | +* This example is the same as the following one but with the Python code embedded in HTML. |
| 41 | +* It is not in the tutorial in this format, but relates to https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#the-dom-api-in-brython |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### sep |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +* This project is the same as `embed`, but the Python code is a separate file, `main.py`. |
| 46 | +* A separate Python file requires starting a local server to test this example (`python3 -m http.server`). |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +### form |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +* The application is an `index.html` with the Python code in a separate `main.py` file. Starting a local webserver is required (`python3 -m http.server`) |
| 51 | +* The user enters the string in the HTML form of the main page |
| 52 | +* You can find this example in the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#the-dom-api-in-brython |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### storage |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +* This example is an extension of the **form** project demonstrating how to use `localstorage` and save the data between page reload. It requires to start a local web server (`python3 -m http.server`). |
| 57 | +* The data is saved as a JSON document associated with a single key of the local storage. The performance is degraded as you add more elements in the JSON file. |
| 58 | +* This example is documented in the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#browser-web-api |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +### storage_perf |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +* In an attempt to overcome the performance issue of the `storage` example, this example saves each base64 encoded value into a separate key. The key is the original string entered by the user. |
| 63 | +* This example is an extra and not described in the tutorial but is related to https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#browser-web-api |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## chrome_extensions |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +### hello_js |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +* Example of a JavaScript Google Chrome extension |
| 70 | +* In the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#hello-world-extension-in-js |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +### hello_py |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +* Same example as hello_js using Brython |
| 75 | +* In the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#hello-world-extension-in-python |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## console |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +* Brython console as an iframe embedded in an HTML file. Does not require to run a local web server. Opening `index.html` with a browser is sufficient to test it. |
| 80 | +* This is an extra not described in the tutorial. |
| 81 | +* Check out https://brython.info/console.html to see it online. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +## github_install |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +* `index.html` loading the Brython engine from GitHub. You can open the file directly. It only displays a message box with "Hello Real Python." |
| 86 | +* In the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#github-installation |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## hashes |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +* In the same vein as the Base64 encode application, this one generates the hash, SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512, of a string. It adds a dropdown to select the desired algorithm (SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512). |
| 91 | +* This serves as the basis for a translation to the same application with Vue.js (see **vuejs** project below). |
| 92 | +* It requires a local web server. |
| 93 | +* This is an extra not described in the tutorial, but serves the bases as the Vue.js example and you can read about it at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#web-ui-framework |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +## import |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +* Shows how to import an external Python module. The external module is `functional.py`. The main Python code is embedded in the HTML page. |
| 98 | +* It requires a local web server. |
| 99 | +* Read about it in the tutorial: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#import-in-brython |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +## import_js |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +* Expands on the `import` example by allowing the creation of `brython_module.js` generated with `brython-cli --modules`. |
| 104 | +* This requires a Python virtual environment with Brython installed (`pip install brython`) to have `brython-cli` available in the PATH. The generated files are available in the sub-directory `dist_example`. |
| 105 | +* You can open `dist_example/index.html` with a browser, without the need for a webserver to run locally, because the dependencies are only JS files (`brython.js` and `brython_modules.js`). |
| 106 | +* You can read more about this approach in the tutorial at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#reduce-import-size |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +## npm_install |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +* Example of a Brython project installed with npm. See the corresponding tutorial section for more details. |
| 111 | +* Tutorial section: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#npm-install |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +## pip_install |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +* Example of a Brython project installed with `pip`. |
| 116 | +* Tutorial section: https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#pypi-install |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +## sha256 |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +* Application to generate the SHA-256 hash of a given string. The data is stored as JSON in a key of the localstorage to preserve the calculations between page reloads. |
| 121 | +* This is an extra not described in the tutorial, but serves the basis of the Vue.js example. You can read about it at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#web-ui-framework |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +## vuejs |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +* Brython and Vue.js implementation of `hashes`. Requires a local web server to be running. |
| 126 | +* The Vue.js example is documented at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#web-ui-framework |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +## wasm |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +* An example demonstrating the generation of a WASM file, the loading of the file, and usage of the function from Brython. The source code of the WASM file is Rust. |
| 131 | +* This requires you to have the Rust compiler installed on a local machine. Check the details in the Brython tutorial. A local web server is needed as it requires loading the wasm file. |
| 132 | +* The web server can be started in the directory `wasm/op/web`. The debug wasm file is included. This is only for demonstration. The `add` function does not handle negative and big integers. |
| 133 | +* Documented in the tutorial at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#webassembly |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +## zero_install |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | +* An example demonstrating a minimum Brython project. The Brython engine is fetched from a CDN, and the Python code is embedded on the page. No need for a local web server, no need for a local Python environment either, just a browser with JavaScript enabled :-) |
| 138 | +* In the tutorial at https://realpython.com/brython-python-in-browser/#cdn-server-install |
