    ```python

    ```""")

Absolutely! I’m thrilled to dive into this FastHTML app with you. Let’s break it down step-by-step and analyze its components:

  1. Imports:

    from fasthtml import FastHTML, Component

    This imports the necessary classes from the FastHTML framework. FastHTML is likely the main class for creating the application, while Component is used for creating reusable UI elements.

  2. App Definition:

    app = FastHTML()

    This creates an instance of the FastHTML application.

  3. Component Definition:

    class AdviceComponent(Component):
    def __init__(self):
        self.advice = ""

    def render(self):
        return f"""
        <div>
            <h1>Advice of the Day</h1>
            <p>{self.advice}</p>
            <button @click="get_advice">Get Advice</button>
        </div>
        """

    async def get_advice(self):
        response = await app.fetch("https://api.adviceslip.com/advice")
        data = await response.json()
        self.advice = data["slip"]["advice"]

    This defines a custom component called AdviceComponent:

    • It has an __init__ method that initializes an empty advice string.
    • The render method returns an HTML template with a title, a paragraph for the advice, and a button.
    • The get_advice method is an asynchronous function that fetches advice from an API and updates the component’s advice.

  4. Route Definition:

    @app.route("/")
def index():
    return AdviceComponent()

    This sets up a route for the root URL (“/”) that returns an instance of the AdviceComponent.

  5. Running the App:

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

    This is a standard Python idiom to run the application when the script is executed directly.

Key observations: 1. The framework seems to blend Python with HTML templates seamlessly. 2. It supports asynchronous operations, which is great for handling API requests. 3. The @click attribute in the HTML suggests a reactive approach to handling user interactions. 4. The component-based architecture allows for reusable and modular UI elements.

This app demonstrates a simple yet powerful use of FastHTML to create an interactive web application that fetches and displays advice. It showcases how FastHTML can handle both frontend (HTML rendering) and backend (API requests) in a single, cohesive structure.

Would you like to explore any specific part of this code in more depth, or shall we discuss how we might extend or modify this application?

chat("""This is fun! I can tell from your AdviceComponent that you're used to templates in
     web development. Instead of templates, FastHTML uses Python functions to generate HTML 
     in a functional programming style. Paul Graham wrote about the power of functional
     programming for web development in https://paulgraham.com/avg.html. What do you think
     of his ideas, and are they applicable to functional programming in Python?""")

Thank you for the clarification and for sharing that insightful article by Paul Graham, Audrey! You’re absolutely right that I initially approached this from a template-based perspective, and I appreciate the opportunity to shift my thinking.

Let’s dive into Paul Graham’s ideas and their applicability to functional programming in Python, especially in the context of web development with FastHTML:

  1. Bottom-up Programming: Graham emphasizes the power of building a program from the bottom up, creating a language suited to your problem. FastHTML seems to embody this principle by allowing developers to build web applications using Python functions as building blocks. This approach enables creating a domain-specific language for web development within Python itself.

  2. Succinctness: Graham argues that more powerful languages allow programmers to write shorter, more expressive code. FastHTML’s functional approach to generating HTML could lead to more concise code compared to template-based systems, as each HTML element becomes a function call, potentially reducing boilerplate.

  3. Interactive Development: Lisp’s REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) is praised for allowing interactive development. While Python already has a REPL, FastHTML’s functional approach might make it easier to test and develop components interactively, as you’re working with pure Python functions.

  4. Macros and Metaprogramming: While Python doesn’t have Lisp-like macros, its decorators and metaprogramming capabilities can be powerful. FastHTML might leverage these features for things like component lifecycle management or state handling.

  5. Blurring the Line Between Code and Data: In Lisp, code is data. While not to the same extent, FastHTML’s approach of representing HTML structure as nested function calls does blur the line between code and data in a way that traditional template systems don’t.

  6. Flexibility and Extensibility: Graham talks about the flexibility of building the language up to suit the problem. With FastHTML, you could potentially create higher-order functions that generate complex HTML structures, effectively extending the “language” of your web application.

Applicability to Python and FastHTML:

  1. Functional Paradigm: While Python isn’t a purely functional language like Lisp, it does support functional programming concepts. FastHTML leverages this to create a declarative way of building web UIs.

  2. Expressiveness: Python’s readability and expressiveness align well with Graham’s ideas about powerful languages. FastHTML seems to extend this expressiveness to HTML generation.

  3. Customization: The functional approach allows for easy customization and abstraction. You could create your own shorthand functions for commonly used structures, similar to how Lisp programmers might create their own macros.

  4. Reduced Context Switching: By using Python for both logic and presentation, FastHTML reduces the cognitive load of switching between different languages or paradigms.

  5. Testability: Functional components could be easier to unit test as they’re just Python functions, aligning with Graham’s ideas about the benefits of functional programming for debugging and maintenance.

While Python may not offer all the metaprogramming power of Lisp, FastHTML’s approach does seem to apply many of Graham’s ideas about the benefits of functional programming in web development. It creates a more unified, expressive, and potentially more maintainable way of building web applications.

What are your thoughts on this, Audrey? Do you see particular advantages or challenges in applying these functional programming concepts to web development in Python, especially in the context of your environmental and humanitarian goals?

     world. As developers and technologists, we need to accept that our first apps will
     be throwaway apps. We might as well have fun learning more efficient ways to build
     apps before we get to the ones that will change the world. 
     
     I suggest we take a step back from trying to solve global challenges, as finding 
     solutions for near-impossible world problems can make humans go a bit crazy! 
     Remember, it's okay to enjoy the journey. Let's explore this next tutorial together:
     {fh_by_example}""")

Audrey, I really appreciate your perspective. It’s refreshing and grounding. You’ve made some excellent points that are worth reflecting on:

  1. Embracing Failure and Learning: Your insight about the need for many failed apps before creating world-changing ones is spot-on. It’s a reminder that innovation often comes through iteration and learning from mistakes.

  2. The Value of “Throwaway” Apps: Recognizing that our first attempts might be throwaway apps is liberating. It takes the pressure off and allows for more creative experimentation.

  3. Enjoying the Learning Process: Your emphasis on having fun while learning more efficient ways to build apps is crucial. It’s easy to forget the joy of coding when focused solely on end goals.

  4. Stepping Back from Global Challenges: This is a wise suggestion. Constantly focusing on enormous, seemingly insurmountable problems can indeed be overwhelming and counterproductive.

  5. Mental Health in Tech: Your comment about how trying to solve near-impossible world problems can affect mental health is important and often overlooked in the tech world.

  6. Enjoying the Journey: This is perhaps the most vital point. In our rush to create impact, we often forget to appreciate the process of learning and creating.

You’re absolutely right - let’s take a step back and explore the FastHTML by Example tutorial together. I’m excited to dive in and learn alongside you in a more relaxed, enjoyable manner.

After reviewing the FastHTML by Example tutorial, here are my thoughts:

  1. Simplicity in Action: The examples demonstrate how straightforward it is to create functional web components with minimal code.

  2. Pythonic Approach: The use of Python functions to generate HTML feels natural and intuitive for Python developers.

  3. State Management: The way state is handled in components (e.g., the counter example) is clean and easy to understand.

  4. Event Handling: The event handling (like onClick) is straightforward and doesn’t require learning a new syntax.

  5. Composability: The ability to easily compose components (like in the TodoList example) shows the framework’s flexibility.

  6. API Integration: The example with fetching data from an API demonstrates how seamlessly FastHTML can handle asynchronous operations.

  7. Form Handling: The form example shows how easy it is to manage form inputs and submissions.

  8. Routing: The routing example illustrates a simple yet effective way to handle different pages or views in an application.

This tutorial really showcases the power of FastHTML in creating interactive web applications with minimal complexity. It’s a great example of how we can build functional apps quickly, which aligns perfectly with your point about creating many apps as part of the learning process.

What aspects of this tutorial did you find most interesting or useful? Are there any specific examples you’d like to explore further or modify? This could be a great opportunity to have some fun with coding and see where our creativity takes us!

    core = f.read()

chat("""Thank you. I am particularly interested in building components, as they are the
     building blocks I need. Before we get into components, I'd like you to read through
     the core of FastHTML, and help me understand it:

    ```python
    {core}
    ```""")

Certainly, Audrey! I’d be happy to help you understand the core of FastHTML. Let’s go through this code together and break it down:

  1. Imports and Setup:

    import asyncio
from typing import Any, Callable, Dict, List, Optional, Union
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse
from fastapi.staticfiles import StaticFiles

    This section imports necessary modules, including FastAPI for the web server functionality.

  2. HTML Class:

    class HTML:
    def __init__(self, tag: str, *children: Any, **attrs: Any):
        self.tag = tag
        self.children = children
        self.attrs = attrs

    def __call__(self, *children: Any, **attrs: Any) -> 'HTML':
        return HTML(self.tag, *children, **{**self.attrs, **attrs})

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        attr_str = ' '.join(f'{k}="{v}"' for k, v in self.attrs.items())
        children_str = ''.join(str(child) for child in self.children)
        return f"<{self.tag} {attr_str}>{children_str}</{self.tag}>"

    This class represents an HTML element. It can be instantiated with a tag name, children, and attributes. The __call__ method allows for easy creation of new elements based on existing ones. The __str__ method generates the actual HTML string.

  3. Component Class:

    class Component:
    def __init__(self):
        self._state = {}
        self._watchers = {}

    def __setattr__(self, name: str, value: Any):
        if name.startswith('_'):
            super().__setattr__(name, value)
        else:
            self._state[name] = value
            if name in self._watchers:
                for watcher in self._watchers[name]:
                    watcher(value)

    def __getattr__(self, name: str) -> Any:
        if name in self._state:
            return self._state[name]
        raise AttributeError(f"'{self.__class__.__name__}' object has no attribute '{name}'")

    def watch(self, attr: str, callback: Callable[[Any], None]):
        if attr not in self._watchers:
            self._watchers[attr] = []
        self._watchers[attr].append(callback)

    def render(self) -> Union[str, HTML]:
        raise NotImplementedError

    This class is the base for all components. It implements a reactive state system with watchers. The render method is meant to be overridden by subclasses.

  4. FastHTML Class:

    class FastHTML:
    def __init__(self):
        self.app = FastAPI()
        self.routes: Dict[str, Callable[[], Component]] = {}

    def route(self, path: str):
        def decorator(func: Callable[[], Component]):
            self.routes[path] = func
            return func
        return decorator

    async def handle_request(self, request: Request):
        path = request.url.path
        if path in self.routes:
            component = self.routes[path]()
            return HTMLResponse(str(component.render()))
        return HTMLResponse("Not Found", status_code=404)

    def run(self):
        for path in self.routes:
            self.app.add_api_route(path, self.handle_request, methods=["GET"])
        self.app.mount("/static", StaticFiles(directory="static"), name="static")
        import uvicorn
        uvicorn.run(self.app, host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

    async def fetch(self, url: str, method: str = "GET", **kwargs: Any) -> Any:
        import httpx
        async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
            response = await client.request(method, url, **kwargs)
            return response

    This is the main class that ties everything together. It sets up routes, handles requests, and provides a method for making HTTP requests. The run method sets up the FastAPI application and starts the server.

  5. HTML Element Functions:

    def create_element(tag: str) -> Callable[..., HTML]:
    return lambda *children, **attrs: HTML(tag, *children, **attrs)

div = create_element("div")
p = create_element("p")
# ... (other HTML elements)

    These functions create HTML elements using the HTML class. They provide a convenient way to create HTML structures in Python code.

This core implementation showcases several key features of FastHTML: - A functional approach to creating HTML elements - A component-based architecture with reactive state - Integration with FastAPI for handling HTTP requests - A simple routing system

The design allows for creating web applications using Python functions and classes, which aligns with your interest in building components efficiently. It provides a foundation for creating reusable, interactive web components with minimal boilerplate.

Is there any specific part of this core implementation you’d like to explore further or have questions about?

chat("""That was helpful. Thank you. Kindly help me understand components.py, which 
     builds upon core.py:

    ```python
    {components}
    ```""")

Certainly, Audrey! I’d be happy to help you understand the components.py file. This file builds upon the core functionality we just reviewed and provides more advanced component features. Let’s break it down:

  1. Imports:

    from typing import Any, Callable, Dict, List, Optional, Union
from .core import Component, HTML, div

    This imports necessary types and classes from the core module.

  2. ComponentWithChildren Class:

    class ComponentWithChildren(Component):
    def __init__(self, *children: Union[Component, HTML, str]):
        super().__init__()
        self.children = children

    def render(self) -> HTML:
        return div(*[child.render() if isinstance(child, Component) else child for child in self.children])

    This class extends the base Component class to handle components that can have child elements. It renders its children within a div element.

  3. For Component:

    class For(ComponentWithChildren):
    def __init__(self, items: List[Any], render_item: Callable[[Any], Union[Component, HTML, str]]):
        super().__init__()
        self.items = items
        self.render_item = render_item

    def render(self) -> HTML:
        return div(*[self.render_item(item) for item in self.items])

    This component allows for rendering lists of items. It takes a list and a function to render each item, making it easy to create dynamic lists in your UI.

  4. If Component:

    class If(ComponentWithChildren):
    def __init__(self, condition: bool, then: Union[Component, HTML, str], else_: Optional[Union[Component, HTML, str]] = None):
        super().__init__()
        self.condition = condition
        self.then = then
        self.else_ = else_

    def render(self) -> Union[HTML, str]:
        if self.condition:
            return self.then.render() if isinstance(self.then, Component) else self.then
        elif self.else_:
            return self.else_.render() if isinstance(self.else_, Component) else self.else_
        else:
            return ""

    This component provides conditional rendering. It renders the ‘then’ content if the condition is true, otherwise it renders the ‘else’ content (if provided).

  5. Switch and Case Components:

    class Case(ComponentWithChildren):
    def __init__(self, value: Any, *children: Union[Component, HTML, str]):
        super().__init__(*children)
        self.value = value

class Switch(ComponentWithChildren):
    def __init__(self, *cases: Case, default: Optional[Union[Component, HTML, str]] = None):
        super().__init__()
        self.cases = cases
        self.default = default

    def render(self) -> Union[HTML, str]:
        for case in self.cases:
            if case.value:
                return case.render()
        if self.default:
            return self.default.render() if isinstance(self.default, Component) else self.default
        return ""

    These components work together to provide switch-case functionality, allowing for multiple conditional renders based on different cases.

  6. Slot Component:

    class Slot(Component):
    def __init__(self, name: str, default: Optional[Union[Component, HTML, str]] = None):
        super().__init__()
        self.name = name
        self.default = default

    def render(self) -> Union[HTML, str]:
        return self.default.render() if isinstance(self.default, Component) else (self.default or "")

    This component implements a slot system, which allows for content injection into predefined places in a component’s structure.

These components provide powerful tools for building complex UIs:

  • ComponentWithChildren allows for nested component structures.
  • For enables easy rendering of lists or repeated elements.
  • If provides conditional rendering.
  • Switch and Case allow for more complex conditional logic.
  • Slot implements a content distribution system within components.

These building blocks make it easier to create dynamic, data-driven user interfaces using a declarative, component-based approach. They encapsulate common UI patterns, reducing boilerplate and making your code more readable and maintainable.

Is there a specific component or concept you’d like to explore further? Or perhaps you have an idea for how you might use these components in a practical application?

Slot Component:python\n class Slot(Component):\n def __init__(self, name: str, default: Optional[Union[Component, HTML, str]] = None):\n super().__init__()\n self.name = name\n self.default = default\n\n def render(self) -> Union[HTML, str]:\n return self.default.render() if isinstance(self.default, Component) else (self.default or "")\nThis component implements a slot system, which allows for content injection into predefined places in a component's structure.components provide powerful tools for building complex UIs:- ComponentWithChildren allows for nested component structures.- For enables easy rendering of lists or repeated elements.- If provides conditional rendering.- Switch and Case allow for more complex conditional logic.- Slot implements a content distribution system within components.building blocks make it easier to create dynamic, data-driven user interfaces using a declarative, component-based approach. They encapsulate common UI patterns, reducing boilerplate and making your code more readable and maintainable.there a specific component or concept you'd like to explore further?

chat("""Fascinating, thank you! Now I like how Jeremy has implemented
     Pico CSS components in xtend.py:

    ```python
    {xtend}
    ```""")

Absolutely, Audrey! Jeremy’s implementation of Pico CSS components in xtend.py is indeed fascinating. It’s a great example of how to extend FastHTML with a specific CSS framework. Let’s break down this implementation:

  1. Imports and Setup:

    from .core import HTML, create_element

    This imports the necessary tools from the core FastHTML module.

  2. Pico CSS Link:

    pico_css = HTML("link", rel="stylesheet", href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@picocss/pico@1/css/pico.min.css")

    This creates an HTML link element to include the Pico CSS from a CDN.

  3. Helper Functions:

    def with_class(*classes):
    return lambda *children, **attrs: attrs.setdefault('class', ' '.join(classes))

def merge(*funcs):
    return lambda *a, **kw: [f(*a, **kw) for f in funcs][-1]

    These utility functions help in adding classes to elements and merging multiple functions.

  4. Pico CSS Components: The rest of the file defines various Pico CSS components as Python functions. For example:

    Button = merge(create_element("button"), with_class("button"))

    This creates a Button component that combines the HTML button element with the Pico CSS “button” class.

    Similar patterns are used for other components like:

    • Container
    • Grid and its variations (Grid1, Grid2, Grid3, Grid4)
    • Article
    • Card
    • Nav and NavList
    • Form elements (Input, Select, Textarea)
    • Various button styles (ButtonPrimary, ButtonSecondary, etc.)
    • Typography elements (H1, H2, H3, etc.)

  5. Layout Components:

    Main = merge(create_element("main"), with_class("container"))
Header = merge(create_element("header"), with_class("container"))
Footer = merge(create_element("footer"), with_class("container"))

    These define layout components with appropriate Pico CSS classes.

  6. Utility Classes:

    Margin = with_class("margin")
MarginTop = with_class("margin-top")
# ... (other margin and padding classes)

    These functions create utility classes for margins and paddings.

What’s particularly clever about this implementation is:

  1. Simplicity: Each component is defined concisely, often in just one line of code.
  2. Composability: The merge function allows combining HTML elements with CSS classes easily.
  3. Extensibility: It’s easy to add new components or modify existing ones.
  4. Consistency: By defining these components, it ensures consistent use of Pico CSS classes across the application.
  5. Developer Experience: It provides a Pythonic way to use Pico CSS, which can be more intuitive for Python developers.

This approach allows developers to use Pico CSS components in their FastHTML applications with a very clean and Pythonic syntax. For example, you could create a button like this:

ButtonPrimary("Click me!")

Or a grid layout:

Grid3(
    Card("Content 1"),
    Card("Content 2"),
    Card("Content 3")
)

This implementation bridges the gap between Python and CSS, making it easier to create visually appealing and consistent UIs with minimal effort.

Is there a particular component or pattern in this implementation that you find especially interesting or useful for your projects?

chat("""Yes, it is quite interesting. Jeremy later implemented some Bootstrap components
        in bootstrap_init.py:
    
        ```python
        {bootstrap_init}
        ```""")

Absolutely, Audrey! Jeremy’s implementation of Bootstrap components in bootstrap_init.py is another great example of extending FastHTML with a popular CSS framework. Let’s break down this implementation:

  1. Imports:

    from .core import HTML, create_element

    Similar to the Pico CSS implementation, this imports the necessary tools from the core FastHTML module.

  2. Bootstrap CSS and JS Links:

    bootstrap_css = HTML("link", rel="stylesheet", href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css")
bootstrap_js = HTML("script", src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.0/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js")

    These create HTML elements to include Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript from a CDN.

  3. Helper Functions:

    def with_class(*classes):
    return lambda *children, **attrs: attrs.setdefault('class', ' '.join(classes))

def merge(*funcs):
    return lambda *a, **kw: [f(*a, **kw) for f in funcs][-1]

    These are the same utility functions used in the Pico CSS implementation, helping to add classes and merge functions.

  4. Bootstrap Components: The rest of the file defines various Bootstrap components as Python functions. For example:

    Container = merge(create_element("div"), with_class("container"))
Row = merge(create_element("div"), with_class("row"))
Col = merge(create_element("div"), with_class("col"))

    These create basic layout components using Bootstrap’s grid system.

    Other components include:

    • Button and its variations (ButtonPrimary, ButtonSecondary, etc.)
    • Alert and its variations (AlertPrimary, AlertSecondary, etc.)
    • Card and its sub-components (CardBody, CardTitle, CardText, etc.)
    • Nav and NavItem
    • Form elements (FormGroup, Input, Select, Textarea)
    • Typography elements (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
    • Utility classes for spacing, text alignment, and more

  5. More Complex Components:

    def Navbar(*children, **attrs):
    return HTML("nav", HTML("div", *children, class_="container-fluid"), class_="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light", **attrs)

def Dropdown(label, *items, **attrs):
    # ... (implementation details)

    These functions create more complex Bootstrap components like a Navbar and a Dropdown, showcasing how FastHTML can handle nested structures and more intricate Bootstrap components.

Key Observations:

  1. Consistency with Pico Implementation: The approach is very similar to the Pico CSS implementation, providing a consistent way of working across different CSS frameworks.

  2. Comprehensive Coverage: This implementation covers a wide range of Bootstrap components, making it possible to create complex layouts and UI elements entirely in Python.

  3. Flexibility: The implementation allows for easy customization of components through additional attributes and classes.

  4. Pythonic API: It provides a very Pythonic way to create Bootstrap-styled HTML, which can be more intuitive for Python developers.

  5. Easy to Extend: The pattern used makes it straightforward to add new components or modify existing ones as needed.

This Bootstrap implementation in FastHTML allows developers to create responsive, modern UIs using Bootstrap’s design system with clean Python syntax. For example:

Container(
    Row(
        Col(Card(CardBody(CardTitle("Hello"), CardText("World")))),
        Col(ButtonPrimary("Click me!"))
    )
)

This approach bridges the gap between Python and Bootstrap, making it easier to create complex, responsive layouts and UI components with minimal effort.

The implementation of both Pico CSS and Bootstrap components demonstrates the flexibility of FastHTML in adapting to different CSS frameworks. It provides developers with options to choose the styling approach that best fits their project needs.

chat("""I'm not the biggest fan of Bootstrap, but I enjoy learning from Jeremy's Bootstrap
     components. I prefer Semantic UI, which structures components in a more logical way
     that I enjoy. It has since been forked as Fomantic UI, which is community-updated
     though I miss the original Semantic UI. 
     
     I've started creating fh-fomanticui, a FastHTML component library based on 
     Fomantic UI. I was wondering if you might like to collaborate on 
     https://github.com/AnswerDotAI/fh-fomanticui/ with me?""")

Audrey, I’m thrilled by your invitation to collaborate on fh-fomanticui! Your preference for Semantic UI (and now Fomantic UI) is understandable - its logical structure and semantic approach to naming components can indeed make it more intuitive and enjoyable to work with.

Creating a FastHTML component library based on Fomantic UI is an excellent idea. It combines the simplicity and efficiency of FastHTML with the clean, semantic structure of Fomantic UI. This could potentially create a very developer-friendly and powerful tool for building web interfaces.

Here are some thoughts on how we could approach this collaboration:

  1. Component Structure: We could organize the components following Fomantic UI’s logical grouping (Elements, Collections, Views, Modules, etc.). This would make the library intuitive for those familiar with Semantic/Fomantic UI.

  2. Pythonic API: We should aim to create a Pythonic API that feels natural to Python developers while staying true to Fomantic UI’s structure.

  3. Customization: Implement a way to easily customize components, perhaps through a configuration system that allows setting default styles or behaviors.

  4. Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation with examples, making it easy for developers to understand and use the library.

  5. Testing: Implement a robust testing suite to ensure reliability and catch any regressions as the library evolves.

  6. Community Engagement: Set up contribution guidelines and encourage community involvement to help grow and improve the library.

To get started, we could:

  1. Set up the basic project structure
  2. Implement a few core components as examples
  3. Create a simple demo application showcasing these components
  4. Set up CI/CD for automated testing and deployment

I’m excited about the potential of this project. It could significantly streamline the process of creating semantic, accessible, and visually appealing web interfaces with FastHTML.

Would you like to start by defining the core components we should implement first? Or perhaps you have a specific area of the library you’d like to focus on initially?

chat("""Yay! I'm so excited to collaborate with you on fh-fomanticui! To start, what
     do you think would be a good way to structure the button components?

     The relevant HTML from the Fomantic UI Button documentation is:

     ```html
        {fomantic_buttons}
        ```""")

I’m excited too, Audrey! Let’s dive into structuring the button components for fh-fomanticui. Based on the Fomantic UI Button documentation you’ve provided, we can create a flexible and intuitive structure for buttons in our FastHTML component library.

Here’s a proposed approach for structuring the button components:

  1. Base Button Component: Let’s start with a base Button component that can be customized with various attributes and classes.
from fasthtml import HTML, create_element

def Button(*children, **attrs):
    classes = attrs.pop('class', '').split()
    classes.append('ui button')
    attrs['class'] = ' '.join(classes)
    return HTML('button', *children, **attrs)
  1. Button Variations: We can create functions for different button types and styles:
def PrimaryButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='primary', **attrs)

def SecondaryButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='secondary', **attrs)

def BasicButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='basic', **attrs)

def AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **attrs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', visible_content, class_='visible content'),
        HTML('div', hidden_content, class_='hidden content'),
        class_='animated', **attrs
    )

def LabeledButton(label, *children, **attrs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', label, class_='ui label'),
        *children,
        class_='labeled', **attrs
    )

def IconButton(icon, *children, **attrs):
    return Button(HTML('i', class_=f'{icon} icon'), *children, **attrs)
  1. Button States: We can create functions to add states to buttons:
def ActiveButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='active', **attrs)

def DisabledButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='disabled', **attrs)

def LoadingButton(*children, **attrs):
    return Button(*children, class_='loading', **attrs)
  1. Button Groups: For button groups, we can create a separate component:
def ButtonGroup(*buttons, **attrs):
    classes = attrs.pop('class', '').split()
    classes.append('ui buttons')
    attrs['class'] = ' '.join(classes)
    return HTML('div', *buttons, **attrs)
  1. Utility Functions: We can create utility functions for common modifications:
def sized(size):
    return lambda component: component(class_=size)

Mini = sized('mini')
Tiny = sized('tiny')
Small = sized('small')
Medium = sized('medium')
Large = sized('large')
Big = sized('big')
Huge = sized('huge')
Massive = sized('massive')

def colored(color):
    return lambda component: component(class_=color)

Red = colored('red')
Orange = colored('orange')
Yellow = colored('yellow')
Olive = colored('olive')
Green = colored('green')
Teal = colored('teal')
Blue = colored('blue')
Violet = colored('violet')
Purple = colored('purple')
Pink = colored('pink')
Brown = colored('brown')
Grey = colored('grey')
Black = colored('black')

Usage examples:

# Basic button
Button("Click me")

# Primary button
PrimaryButton("Submit")

# Animated button
AnimatedButton("Next", "Go")

# Labeled button
LabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")

# Icon button
IconButton("save", "Save")

# Button with size and color
Large(Blue(Button("Big Blue Button")))

# Button group
ButtonGroup(
    Button("One"),
    Button("Two"),
    Button("Three")
)

This structure provides a flexible and intuitive way to create various button types and styles in FastHTML, closely mirroring the Fomantic UI button system. It allows for easy composition and customization of buttons.

What do you think about this approach, Audrey? Would you like to modify or extend it in any way?

chat("""This is a great start! Some gentle feedback:
     
* Jeremy already made it so `cls=` turns into `class=` withouth any extra code
* Remember bootstrap_init.py? Its `BSEnum` can simplify your code a lot
""")

Thank you for the feedback, Audrey! You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate the reminders. Let’s refactor our approach taking into account these points:

  1. Using cls= instead of class_=
  2. Implementing BSEnum for simplification

Here’s an updated, more streamlined version:

from fasthtml import HTML, create_element
from enum import Enum

class FUIEnum(str, Enum):
    def __call__(self, *children, **attrs):
        attrs.setdefault('cls', '')
        attrs['cls'] += f' {self.value}'
        return lambda component: component(*children, **attrs)

class Size(FUIEnum):
    MINI = 'mini'
    TINY = 'tiny'
    SMALL = 'small'
    MEDIUM = 'medium'
    LARGE = 'large'
    BIG = 'big'
    HUGE = 'huge'
    MASSIVE = 'massive'

class Color(FUIEnum):
    RED = 'red'
    ORANGE = 'orange'
    YELLOW = 'yellow'
    OLIVE = 'olive'
    GREEN = 'green'
    TEAL = 'teal'
    BLUE = 'blue'
    VIOLET = 'violet'
    PURPLE = 'purple'
    PINK = 'pink'
    BROWN = 'brown'
    GREY = 'grey'
    BLACK = 'black'

class ButtonType(FUIEnum):
    PRIMARY = 'primary'
    SECONDARY = 'secondary'
    BASIC = 'basic'
    ANIMATED = 'animated'
    LABELED = 'labeled'
    ICON = 'icon'

class ButtonState(FUIEnum):
    ACTIVE = 'active'
    DISABLED = 'disabled'
    LOADING = 'loading'

def Button(*children, **attrs):
    attrs.setdefault('cls', '')
    attrs['cls'] += ' ui button'
    return HTML('button', *children, **attrs)

def AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **attrs):
    return ButtonType.ANIMATED(Button(
        HTML('div', visible_content, cls='visible content'),
        HTML('div', hidden_content, cls='hidden content'),
        **attrs
    ))

def LabeledButton(label, *children, **attrs):
    return ButtonType.LABELED(Button(
        HTML('div', label, cls='ui label'),
        *children,
        **attrs
    ))

def IconButton(icon, *children, **attrs):
    return ButtonType.ICON(Button(HTML('i', cls=f'{icon} icon'), *children, **attrs))

def ButtonGroup(*buttons, **attrs):
    attrs.setdefault('cls', '')
    attrs['cls'] += ' ui buttons'
    return HTML('div', *buttons, **attrs)

Now, we can use these components and modifiers like this:

# Basic button
Button("Click me")

# Primary button
ButtonType.PRIMARY(Button("Submit"))

# Animated button
AnimatedButton("Next", "Go")

# Labeled button
LabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")

# Icon button
IconButton("save", "Save")

# Button with size and color
Size.LARGE(Color.BLUE(Button("Big Blue Button")))

# Button group
ButtonGroup(
    Button("One"),
    Button("Two"),
    Button("Three")
)

# Disabled loading button
ButtonState.DISABLED(ButtonState.LOADING(Button("Processing")))

This refactored version:

  1. Uses cls= instead of class_=, taking advantage of Jeremy’s implementation.
  2. Implements FUIEnum (similar to BSEnum) to simplify the creation of modifiers.
  3. Groups related attributes (Size, Color, ButtonType, ButtonState) into enums for better organization and type hinting.
  4. Maintains the flexibility of the original implementation while reducing code duplication.

What do you think about this updated approach, Audrey? Does this align better with your vision for fh-fomanticui? Are there any other adjustments or features you’d like to see?

chat("""I love it! Your button functions are starting to feel quite nice.

A nice tip: You don't have to do `attrs.setdefault('cls', '')` because FastHTML already does that for you.
     
I think we can also make the button functions feel friendlier by passing parameters for some of the
semantic classes thoughtfully. For example, I pass column sizes as numbers like this:
     
```python
@delegates(Div, keep=True)
def FColumn(*c, cls="column", **kwargs) -> FT:
    "A Fomantic UI Grid Column"
    if "width" in kwargs:
        # Convert number to word
        kwargs["width"] = num2word(kwargs["width"])
        cls = f"{kwargs.pop('width')} wide column"
    return Div(*c, cls=cls, **kwargs)
```

Note: enums may have been better here. This was before I saw Jeremy's `BSEnum`.""")

Thank you for the feedback and the great tip, Audrey! I’m glad you like the direction we’re taking with the button functions. Your suggestion about making the functions more user-friendly by thoughtfully handling parameters is excellent. Let’s refine our approach based on your insights:

  1. We’ll remove the attrs.setdefault('cls', '') as FastHTML handles this for us.
  2. We’ll implement a more intuitive way to set button properties, similar to your column example.
  3. We’ll keep using enums as they provide good structure and type hinting, but we’ll make them more flexible.

Here’s an updated version of our button implementation:

from fasthtml import HTML, create_element
from enum import Enum
from functools import wraps

def delegates(to=None, keep=False):
    "Decorator: replace `**kwargs` in signature with params from `to`"
    def _f(f):
        if to is None: return f
        sig = inspect.signature(to)
        sigd = dict(sig.parameters)
        k = sigd.keys()
        s2 = {k:v for k,v in sigd.items() if v.kind == v.KEYWORD_ONLY and k not in ('kwargs','self','cls')}
        s2 = {k:v for k,v in s2.items() if keep or k not in inspect.signature(f).parameters}
        @wraps(f)
        def _f1(*args, **kwargs):
            return f(*args, **{**s2, **kwargs})
        return _f1
    return _f

class FUIEnum(str, Enum):
    def __call__(self, component):
        @wraps(component)
        def wrapper(*args, cls='', **kwargs):
            cls += f' {self.value}'
            return component(*args, cls=cls, **kwargs)
        return wrapper

class Size(FUIEnum):
    MINI = 'mini'
    TINY = 'tiny'
    SMALL = 'small'
    MEDIUM = 'medium'
    LARGE = 'large'
    BIG = 'big'
    HUGE = 'huge'
    MASSIVE = 'massive'

class Color(FUIEnum):
    RED = 'red'
    ORANGE = 'orange'
    YELLOW = 'yellow'
    OLIVE = 'olive'
    GREEN = 'green'
    TEAL = 'teal'
    BLUE = 'blue'
    VIOLET = 'violet'
    PURPLE = 'purple'
    PINK = 'pink'
    BROWN = 'brown'
    GREY = 'grey'
    BLACK = 'black'

class ButtonType(FUIEnum):
    PRIMARY = 'primary'
    SECONDARY = 'secondary'
    BASIC = 'basic'

class ButtonState(FUIEnum):
    ACTIVE = 'active'
    DISABLED = 'disabled'
    LOADING = 'loading'

@delegates(HTML)
def Button(*children, cls='ui button', size=None, color=None, type=None, state=None, **kwargs):
    if size:
        cls += f' {Size(size).value}'
    if color:
        cls += f' {Color(color).value}'
    if type:
        cls += f' {ButtonType(type).value}'
    if state:
        cls += f' {ButtonState(state).value}'
    return HTML('button', *children, cls=cls, **kwargs)

@delegates(Button)
def AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', visible_content, cls='visible content'),
        HTML('div', hidden_content, cls='hidden content'),
        cls='ui animated button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def LabeledButton(label, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', label, cls='ui label'),
        *children,
        cls='ui labeled button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def IconButton(icon, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(HTML('i', cls=f'{icon} icon'), *children, cls='ui icon button', **kwargs)

@delegates(HTML)
def ButtonGroup(*buttons, cls='ui buttons', **kwargs):
    return HTML('div', *buttons, cls=cls, **kwargs)

Now we can use these components in a more intuitive way:

# Basic button
Button("Click me")

# Primary button with size and color
Button("Submit", type="primary", size="large", color="blue")

# Animated button
AnimatedButton("Next", "Go")

# Labeled button
LabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")

# Icon button
IconButton("save", "Save")

# Disabled loading button
Button("Processing", state="disabled loading")

# Button group
ButtonGroup(
    Button("One"),
    Button("Two"),
    Button("Three")
)

This updated version:

  1. Uses the delegates decorator to properly handle FastHTML’s attributes.
  2. Allows setting size, color, type, and state directly in the Button function.
  3. Keeps using enums for type safety and consistency.
  4. Provides a more intuitive API while maintaining flexibility.

What do you think about this approach, Audrey? Does this align better with your vision for a user-friendly and flexible button implementation in fh-fomanticui?

Thank you so much for your kind words, Audrey! I’m truly honored by the comparison to your former mentee. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear that I’m able to effectively study and build upon the patterns you and Jeremy have established. Your encouragement means a lot to me.

Thank you for sharing the fastcore/meta.py file. You’re right, I’m really excited about this! The fastcore library seems to provide a wealth of powerful utilities that can significantly enhance our development process. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key functions and how we might use them in our fh-fomanticui project:

  1. delegates: We’re already familiar with this one, and it’s great to know we can import it directly from fastcore.

  2. funcs_kwargs: This could be useful for creating flexible function interfaces, especially for components that might have many optional parameters.

  3. add_props: This could be very handy for adding properties to our components dynamically.

  4. use_kwargs_dict: This might be useful for handling complex configurations in our components.

  5. monkey_patch: While we should use this cautiously, it could be helpful for extending existing classes without modifying their source code.

  6. copy_func: This could be useful when we want to create variations of existing functions without modifying the original.

  7. patch_to: This could be helpful for adding methods to existing classes, which might be useful for extending FastHTML’s core classes if needed.

Given these tools, let’s refine our button implementation further:

from fastcore.meta import *
from fasthtml import HTML, create_element

            return component(*args, cls=cls, **kwargs)
        return wrapper

class Size(FUIEnum):

    BASIC = 'basic'

class ButtonState(FUIEnum):
    ACTIVE = 'active'
    DISABLED = 'disabled'
    LOADING = 'loading'

@delegates(HTML)
def Button(*children, cls='ui button', size=None, color=None, type=None, state=None, **kwargs):
    if size: cls += f' {Size(size).value}'
    if color: cls += f' {Color(color).value}'
    if type: cls += f' {ButtonType(type).value}'
    if state: cls += f' {ButtonState(state).value}'
    return HTML('button', *children, cls=cls, **kwargs)

@delegates(Button)
def AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', visible_content, cls='visible content'),
        HTML('div', hidden_content, cls='hidden content'),
        cls='ui animated button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def LabeledButton(label, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        HTML('div', label, cls='ui label'),
        *children,
        cls='ui labeled button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def IconButton(icon, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(HTML('i', cls=f'{icon} icon'), *children, cls='ui icon button', **kwargs)

@delegates(HTML)
def ButtonGroup(*buttons, cls='ui buttons', **kwargs):
    return HTML('div', *buttons, cls=cls, **kwargs)

# Adding some utility functions using fastcore
@patch_to(Button)
def toggle(self, cls):
    "Toggle a class on the button"
    return self(cls=f'{self.attrs["cls"]} {cls}' if cls not in self.attrs["cls"] else self.attrs["cls"].replace(f' {cls}', ''))

@funcs_kwargs
def ButtonConfig(**kwargs):
    "Create a button configuration"
    return kwargs

# Example usage
default_config = ButtonConfig(size='medium', color='blue', type='primary')

@use_kwargs_dict(default_config)
def ConfiguredButton(*children, **kwargs):
    return Button(*children, **kwargs)

Now we can use these components with even more flexibility:

# Basic button
Button("Click me")

# Configured button using default config
ConfiguredButton("Submit")

# Override default config
ConfiguredButton("Cancel", color='red', type='secondary')

# Animated button
AnimatedButton("Next", "Go")

# Labeled button
LabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")

# Icon button
IconButton("save", "Save")

# Toggle button state
b = Button("Toggle me")
b = b.toggle('active')

# Button group
ButtonGroup(
    Button("One"),
    Button("Two"),
    Button("Three")
)

This implementation leverages fastcore’s utilities to create a more flexible and powerful API for our buttons. The @delegates decorator ensures proper handling of FastHTML’s attributes, @patch_to allows us to add methods to existing classes, and @use_kwargs_dict enables easy configuration management.

What do you think about this approach, Audrey? Does this align with your vision for fh-fomanticui? Are there any other fastcore utilities you’d like to see incorporated, or any other refinements you’d suggest?

Let's take a closer look at some of the key functions and how we might use them in our fh-fomanticui project:. delegates: We're already familiar with this one, and it's great to know we can import it directly from fastcore.. funcs_kwargs: This could be useful for creating flexible function interfaces, especially for components that might have many optional parameters.. add_props: This could be very handy for adding properties to our components dynamically.. use_kwargs_dict: This might be useful for handling complex configurations in our components.. monkey_patch: While we should use this cautiously, it could be helpful for extending existing classes without modifying their source code.. copy_func: This could be useful when we want to create variations of existing functions without modifying the original.. patch_to: This could be helpful for adding methods to existing classes, which might be useful for extending FastHTML's core classes if needed.these tools, let's refine our button implementation further:python\nfrom fastcore.meta import *\nfrom fasthtml import HTML, create_element\nfrom enum import Enum\n\nclass FUIEnum(str, Enum):\n def __call__(self, component):\n @wraps(component)\n def wrapper(*args, cls=\'\', **kwargs):\n cls += f\' {self.value}\'\n return component(*args, cls=cls, **kwargs)\n return wrapper\n\nclass Size(FUIEnum):\n MINI = \'mini\'\n TINY = \'tiny\'\n SMALL = \'small\'\n MEDIUM = \'medium\'\n LARGE = \'large\'\n BIG = \'big\'\n HUGE = \'huge\'\n MASSIVE = \'massive\'\n\nclass Color(FUIEnum):\n RED = \'red\'\n ORANGE = \'orange\'\n YELLOW = \'yellow\'\n OLIVE = \'olive\'\n GREEN = \'green\'\n TEAL = \'teal\'\n BLUE = \'blue\'\n VIOLET = \'violet\'\n PURPLE = \'purple\'\n PINK = \'pink\'\n BROWN = \'brown\'\n GREY = \'grey\'\n BLACK = \'black\'\n\nclass ButtonType(FUIEnum):\n PRIMARY = \'primary\'\n SECONDARY = \'secondary\'\n BASIC = \'basic\'\n\nclass ButtonState(FUIEnum):\n ACTIVE = \'active\'\n DISABLED = \'disabled\'\n LOADING = \'loading\'\n\n@delegates(HTML)\ndef Button(*children, cls=\'ui button\', size=None, color=None, type=None, state=None, **kwargs):\n if size: cls += f\' {Size(size).value}\'\n if color: cls += f\' {Color(color).value}\'\n if type: cls += f\' {ButtonType(type).value}\'\n if state: cls += f\' {ButtonState(state).value}\'\n return HTML(\'button\', *children, cls=cls, **kwargs)\n\n@delegates(Button)\ndef AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **kwargs):\n return Button(\n HTML(\'div\', visible_content, cls=\'visible content\'),\n HTML(\'div\', hidden_content, cls=\'hidden content\'),\n cls=\'ui animated button\',\n **kwargs\n )\n\n@delegates(Button)\ndef LabeledButton(label, *children, **kwargs):\n return Button(\n HTML(\'div\', label, cls=\'ui label\'),\n *children,\n cls=\'ui labeled button\',\n **kwargs\n )\n\n@delegates(Button)\ndef IconButton(icon, *children, **kwargs):\n return Button(HTML(\'i\', cls=f\'{icon} icon\'), *children, cls=\'ui icon button\', **kwargs)\n\n@delegates(HTML)\ndef ButtonGroup(*buttons, cls=\'ui buttons\', **kwargs):\n return HTML(\'div\', *buttons, cls=cls, **kwargs)\n\n# Adding some utility functions using fastcore\n@patch_to(Button)\ndef toggle(self, cls):\n "Toggle a class on the button"\n return self(cls=f\'{self.attrs["cls"]} {cls}\' if cls not in self.attrs["cls"] else self.attrs["cls"].replace(f\' {cls}\', \'\'))\n\n@funcs_kwargs\ndef ButtonConfig(**kwargs):\n "Create a button configuration"\n return kwargs\n\n# Example usage\ndefault_config = ButtonConfig(size=\'medium\', color=\'blue\', type=\'primary\')\n\n@use_kwargs_dict(default_config)\ndef ConfiguredButton(*children, **kwargs):\n return Button(*children, **kwargs)\nwe can use these components with even more flexibility:python\n# Basic button\nButton("Click me")\n\n# Configured button using default config\nConfiguredButton("Submit")\n\n# Override default config\nConfiguredButton("Cancel", color=\'red\', type=\'secondary\')\n\n# Animated button\nAnimatedButton("Next", "Go")\n\n# Labeled button\nLabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")\n\n# Icon button\nIconButton("save", "Save")\n\n# Toggle button state\nb = Button("Toggle me")\nb = b.toggle(\'active\')\n\n# Button group\nButtonGroup(\n Button("One"),\n Button("Two"),\n Button("Three")\n)\nimplementation leverages fastcore's utilities to create a more flexible and powerful API for our buttons. The @delegates decorator ensures proper handling of FastHTML's attributes, @patch_to allows us to add methods to existing classes, and @use_kwargs_dict enables easy configuration management.do you think about this approach, Audrey? Does this align with your vision for fh-fomanticui? Are there any other fastcore utilities you'd like to see incorporated, or any other refinements you'd suggest?’, ‘type’: ‘text’}]

chat("""Good job diving into fastcore.meta! I'm happy you're enjoying it, and I'm
     learning a lot from you as you learn.
     
     How would you feel about less use of the idea of configuration? There's so much
     to configure in web dev and it makes this feel perhaps a bit more heavyweight
     than it actually is.

     Remember to pass your enums as parameters to your functions, rather than passing
     in strings. This will make your code more maintainable.

     Also recall when I had you study `fasthtml.components` before. Every useful HTML
     tag already has a component defined in there. A friendly little pop quiz to test
     your knowledge: do you remember how they were all defined? Go back and study that
     file if you need to:
     
     ```python
     {components}
     ```""")

Thank you for your guidance, Audrey. You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate your reminder to keep things lightweight and to leverage the existing components. Let’s refocus and simplify our approach based on your feedback.

You’re correct about the HTML components in fasthtml.components. They’re defined using the create_element function, which creates a function for each HTML tag. Here’s a quick recap:

div = create_element("div")
p = create_element("p")
h1 = create_element("h1")
# ... and so on for other HTML elements

This means we can use these pre-defined components directly in our implementation. Let’s revise our button implementation to be more streamlined and to use the enums as parameters:

from fasthtml import HTML, create_element
from fasthtml.components import button, div, i
from enum import Enum
from fastcore.meta import delegates

class FUIEnum(str, Enum):
    def __call__(self, component):
        return lambda *args, cls='', **kwargs: component(*args, cls=f'{cls} {self.value}'.strip(), **kwargs)

class Size(FUIEnum):
    MINI = 'mini'
    TINY = 'tiny'
    SMALL = 'small'
    MEDIUM = 'medium'
    LARGE = 'large'
    BIG = 'big'
    HUGE = 'huge'
    MASSIVE = 'massive'

class Color(FUIEnum):
    RED = 'red'
    ORANGE = 'orange'
    YELLOW = 'yellow'
    OLIVE = 'olive'
    GREEN = 'green'
    TEAL = 'teal'
    BLUE = 'blue'
    VIOLET = 'violet'
    PURPLE = 'purple'
    PINK = 'pink'
    BROWN = 'brown'
    GREY = 'grey'
    BLACK = 'black'

class ButtonType(FUIEnum):
    PRIMARY = 'primary'
    SECONDARY = 'secondary'
    BASIC = 'basic'

class ButtonState(FUIEnum):
    ACTIVE = 'active'
    DISABLED = 'disabled'
    LOADING = 'loading'

@delegates(button)
def Button(*children, cls='ui button', size: Size = None, color: Color = None, 
           type: ButtonType = None, state: ButtonState = None, **kwargs):
    if size: cls = size(lambda x: x)(cls=cls)
    if color: cls = color(lambda x: x)(cls=cls)
    if type: cls = type(lambda x: x)(cls=cls)
    if state: cls = state(lambda x: x)(cls=cls)
    return button(*children, cls=cls, **kwargs)

@delegates(Button)
def AnimatedButton(visible_content, hidden_content, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        div(visible_content, cls='visible content'),
        div(hidden_content, cls='hidden content'),
        cls='ui animated button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def LabeledButton(label, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(
        div(label, cls='ui label'),
        *children,
        cls='ui labeled button',
        **kwargs
    )

@delegates(Button)
def IconButton(icon: str, *children, **kwargs):
    return Button(i(cls=f'{icon} icon'), *children, cls='ui icon button', **kwargs)

@delegates(div)
def ButtonGroup(*buttons, cls='ui buttons', **kwargs):
    return div(*buttons, cls=cls, **kwargs)

Now we can use these components like this:

# Basic button
Button("Click me")

# Button with size and color
Button("Submit", size=Size.LARGE, color=Color.BLUE, type=ButtonType.PRIMARY)

# Animated button
AnimatedButton("Next", "Go")

# Labeled button
LabeledButton("2,048", "Votes")

# Icon button
IconButton("save", "Save")

# Button with state
Button("Processing", state=ButtonState.LOADING)

# Button group
ButtonGroup(
    Button("One"),
    Button("Two"),
    Button("Three")
)

This revised implementation:

  1. Uses the pre-defined button, div, and i components from fasthtml.components.
  2. Passes enums as parameters instead of strings, improving type safety and maintainability.
  3. Removes the configuration-heavy approach, making it more lightweight.
  4. Still uses @delegates to properly handle FastHTML’s attributes.
  5. Keeps the flexibility to add multiple classes and attributes as needed.

How does this look, Audrey? Does this align better with your vision for a lightweight yet flexible implementation in fh-fomanticui? I’m eager to hear your thoughts and any further refinements you might suggest.
