express.py

Python implementation of the widely used express.js. This is without async! Will be adding it as soon as I'm done with my exams.

Why

Going to answer this first: because yes. More out of boredom and wanting to do something with my time rather than playing games. But oh well, here it is.

Installation

Install this package with a very very very very very simple command:

# Unix / macOS:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade web-express-py

# Windows:
py -3 -m pip install --upgrade web-express-py

After this, you can just import express into any of your projects using:

from express import express

Ok here comes stealing examples from express.js

Hello world example

from express import express

app = express()

@app.get("/")
def helloWorld(req, res):
    res.send("Hello World!")

app.listen(3000)

Basic routing

from express import express

app = express()

@app.get("/")
def helloWorld(req, res):
    res.send("Hello World!")

@app.post("/")
def aPostRequest(req, res):
    res.send("Got a POST request")

@app.put("/user")
def updateUser(req, res):
    res.send("Got a PUT request at /user")

def deleteUser(req, res):
    res.send("Got a DELETE request at /user")
app.delete("/user", deleteUser)

app.listen(3000)
