Package: pynecone-io
The project name has changed: please runpip install pyneconeinstead.Build performant, customizable web apps in pure Python.Getting StartedPynecone is a full-stack Python framework that makes it easy to build and deploy web apps in minutes. All the information for getting started can be found in this README. However, a more detailed explanation of the following topics can be found on our website:Docs|Component Library|Gallery|DeploymentInstallationPynecone requires the following to get started:Python 3.7+Node.js 12.22.0+(Don't worry, you'll never have to write any Javascript)$ pip install pyneconeCreate your first Pynecone AppInstalling Pynecone also installs thepccommand line tool. Test that the install was successful by creating a new project.Replace my_app_name with your project name:$ mkdir my_app_name
$ cd my_app_name
$ pc initWhen you run this command for the first time, we will download and installbunautomatically.This command initializes a template app in your new directory.
You can run this app in development mode:$ pc runYou should see your app running athttp://localhost:3000.Now you can modify the source code inmy_app_name/my_app_name.py. Pynecone has fast refreshes so you can see your changes instantly when you save your code.Example Pynecone AppLet's go over an example of creating a UI around DALL·E. For simplicity of the example below, we call the OpenAI DALL·E API, but you could replace this with any ML model locally.Here is the complete code to create this. This is all done in one Python file!importpyneconeaspcimportopenaiopenai.api_key="YOUR_API_KEY"classState(pc.State):"""The app state."""prompt=""image_url=""image_processing=Falseimage_made=Falsedefprocess_image(self):"""Set the image processing flag to true and indicate image is not made yet."""self.image_processing=Trueself.image_made=Falsedefget_image(self):"""Get the image from the prompt."""response=openai.Image.create(prompt=self.prompt,n=1,size="1024x1024")self.image_url=response["data"][0]["url"]self.image_processing=Falseself.image_made=Truedefindex():returnpc.center(pc.vstack(pc.heading("DALL·E",font_size="1.5em"),pc.input(placeholder="Enter a prompt..",on_blur=State.set_prompt),pc.button("Generate Image",on_click=[State.process_image,State.get_image],width="100%",),pc.divider(),pc.cond(State.image_processing,pc.circular_progress(is_indeterminate=True),pc.cond(State.image_made,pc.image(src=State.image_url,height="25em",width="25em",))),bg="white",padding="2em",shadow="lg",border_radius="lg",),width="100%",height="100vh",bg="radial-gradient(circle at 22% 11%,rgba(62, 180, 137,.20),hsla(0,0%,100%,0) 19%)",)# Add state and page to the app.app=pc.App(state=State)app.add_page(index,title="Pynecone:DALL·E")app.compile()Let's break this down.UI In PyneconeLets start by talking about the UI this Pynecone App.defindex():returnpc.center(...)This index function defines the frontend of the app. We use different components such ascenter,vstack,input, andbuttonto build the front end. Components can be nested to create complex layouts and styled using CSS's full power. Just pass them in as keyword args.Pynecone comes with50+ built-in componentsto help you get started. We are actively adding more components, plus it's easy to create your own components.StateclassState(pc.State):"""The app state."""prompt=""image_url=""image_processing=Falseimage_made=FalseThe state defines all the variables (called vars) in an app that can change and the functions that change them.
Here the state is comprised of apromptandimage_url. There are also the booleansimage_processingandimage_madeto indicate when to show the circular progress and image.Event Handlersdefprocess_image(self):"""Set the image processing flag to true and indicate image is not made yet."""self.image_processing=Trueself.image_made=Falsedefget_image(self):"""Get the image from the prompt."""response=openai.Image.create(prompt=self.prompt,n=1,size="1024x1024")self.image_url=response["data"][0]["url"]self.image_processing=Falseself.image_made=TrueWithin the state, we define functions called event handlers that change the state vars. Event handlers are the way that we can modify the state in Pynecone. They can be called in response to user actions, such as clicking a button or typing in a text box. These actions are called events.Our DALL·E. app has two event handlers,process_imageto indicate that the image is being generated andget_image, which calls the OpenAI API.RoutingFinally we define our app and tell it what state to use.app=pc.App(state=State)We add a route from the root of the app to the index component. We also add a title that will show up in the page preview/ browser tab.app.add_page(index,title="Pynecone:DALL-E")app.compile()You can create a multi-page app by adding more routes.StatusAs of December 2022, Pynecone has just been released publicly and is in theAlpha Stage.:large_orange_diamond:Public Alpha: Anyone can install and use Pynecone. There may be issues, but we are working to resolve them actively.Public Beta: Stable enough for non-enterprise use-cases.Public Hosting Beta:OptionallyDeploy and Host your own apps on Pynecone!Public: Pynecone is production ready.Pynecone has new releases and features coming every week!
