FletX πŸš€

The open-source GetX-inspired Python Framework for Building Reactive, Cross-Platform Apps with Flet

Why FletX? ✨

FletX brings Flutter's beloved GetX patterns to Python, combining Flet's UI capabilities with:

  • ⚑ Reactive state management
  • 🧭 Declarative routing
  • πŸ’‰ Dependency injection
  • 🧩 Modular architecture
  • 🎨 Widget library

Perfect for building desktop, web, and mobile apps with Python at lightning speed.

Architecture

Quick Start 🏁

NOTE: FletX currently supports Python 3.12 only. Compatibility with newer versions is in progress β€” we're actively working to expand support soon.

Installation

pip install FletXr --pre

Create project

fletx new my_project --no-install

To run the project, just navigate to the project folder and run this command

fletx run --web # Will open app in a navigator
        # --desktop to open app in a desktop window
        # --android to open app on Android device
        # --ios to open app on a iOs device
        # --help for more option

Running Tests with FletX CLI

The fletx test command allows you to run tests for your FletX project using pytest.

Usage

fletx test                      # Run all tests
fletx test ./tests/test_api.py  # Run a specific test file
fletx test -k "MyTestClass"     # Run tests matching a keyword
fletx test -v                   # Verbose output
fletx test --coverage           # Run tests with coverage report
fletx test --pdb                # Debug on test failure

Basic Usage (Counter App)

import flet as ft

from fletx.app import FletXApp
from fletx.core import (
    FletXPage, FletXController, RxInt, RxStr
)
from fletx.navigation import router_config
from fletx.decorators import obx


class CounterController(FletXController):

    def __init__(self):
        count = RxInt(0)  # Reactive state
        super().__init__()


class CounterPage(FletXPage):
    ctrl = CounterController()

    @obx
    def counter_text(self):
        return ft.Text(
            value = f'Count: {self.ctrl.count}',
            size = 50, 
            weight = "bold",
            color = 'red' if not self.ctrl.count.value % 2 == 0 else 'white'
        )
    
    def build(self):
        return ft.Column(
            controls = [
                self.counter_text(),
                ft.ElevatedButton(
                    "Increment",
                    on_click = lambda e: self.ctrl.count.increment()  # Auto UI update
                )
            ]
        )


def main():

    # Defining route
    router_config.add_route(
        path = '/', 
        component = CounterPage
    )
    app = FletXApp(
        title = "My Counter",
        initial_route = "/",
        debug = True
    ).with_window_size(400, 600).with_theme(
        ft.Theme(color_scheme_seed=ft.Colors.BLUE)
    )
    
    # Run sync
    app.run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Core Features 🧠

1. Controllers

class SearchController(FletXController):
    """Search controller"""
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.query = RxStr("")
        self.results = RxList([])
        self.is_enabled = RxBool(True)
        
        super().__init__()

        # Configure reactives effects
        self._setup_reactive_effects()

    
    def _setup_reactive_effects(self):
        """Configure reactive effects"""
        
        # Search with debounce
        @reactive_debounce(0.5)
        @reactive_when(self.is_enabled)
        def search_handler():
            if self.query.value.strip():
                self.perform_search(self.query.value)
        
        # Listen query changes
        self.query.listen(search_handler)
        
        # Cache expensive search results
        @reactive_memo(maxsize=50)
        def expensive_search(query: str):
            # Expensive search simulation
            import time
            time.sleep(0.1)  # Simulate 
            return [f"Result {i} for '{query}'" for i in range(5)]
        
        self.expensive_search = expensive_search

        # Other actions here...

2. Pages (Screens)

class NewsPage(FletXPage):

    def __init__(self):
        self.news_ctrl: NewsController = FletX.find(
            NewsController, tag = 'news_ctrl'
        )
        super().__init__()

        ...

    def build(self):
        return ft.Text('Hello world!')

3. Smart Routing

# Define routes
from fletx.navigation import router_config, navigate

# 1. simple routing
router_config.add_routes([
    {"path": "/", "component": HomePage},
    {"path": "/settings", "component": SettingsPage}
])

# 2. Dynamic routes with parameters
router_config.add_routes([
    {
        "path": "/users/:id",
        "component": UserDetailPage
    },
    {
        "path": "/products/*category",
        "component": ProductsPage
    }
])
# Navigate programmatically
navigate("/users/123")

4. Services

class NewsService(FletXService):
    """News Service"""

    def __init__(self, test_mode: bool = False, *args, **kwargs):
        self.base_url = ""
        self.max_per_page: int = 20
        self.test_mode: bool = test_mode
        self.newsapi = NewsApiClient(api_key = os.environ.get('NEWS_APIKEY'))

        # Init base class
        super().__init__(**kwargs)

5. Dependency Injection

# Register services
FletX.put(AuthService(), tag="auth")

# Retrieve anywhere
auth_service = FletX.find(AuthService, tag="auth")

6. Reactive Widgets

FletX allows you to quickly create reactive widgets from flet Controls by using reactive widget decorators.

from fletx.decorators import (
    reactive_control, simple_reactive,
    reactive_state_machine, reactive_form,
    two_way_reactive, reactive_list, obx
    ...
)
