Apache Wicket VS remi

Sort of sounds like Apache Wicket (https://wicket.apache.org/). I used it for a few projects in the mid-late 2000s. I really liked it being server side and the concept of having object-oriented HTML (code paired with HTML snippets). I haven't had a need to use it since 2014, so haven't kept up with the project.

You can use Java for Backend and Frontend. A relative new kid on the block for Frontend is Qute. The general keyword you are searching for is Java Templating Engine. Specific examples would be Thymeleaf or FreeMarker. There are some framework, which offer a lot more than templating like Vaadin or Wicket. Some are just specifications like Jakarta Faces with some of their implementations MyFaces or Mojarra.

Perhaps, a good competitor for JSF is Apache Wicket.

I have used https://wicket.apache.org/ in the past and I think it matches your needs. It's a simple mvc that focuses on the actual java code writing and uses html only on the layout of your components in your page.

Is this the Wicket you're referring to? https://wicket.apache.org/

What's the best intro you know to how it's components work, and the benefits and tradeoffs over other approaches?

You should consider Apache Wicket. It is widely used for business apps.

I think Apache Wicket takes a similar approach for Java? https://wicket.apache.org/

I like the approach, and it's good to see more projects in this space.

I believe Wicket is somewhat similar (and still actively developed).

Have you considered a remote use case, using something like https://github.com/rawpython/remi ? My SD machine is a headless Linux box, so I'd love to be able to run this on the server where it's local to the images (and perhaps have a multi-image / gallery view)?

How does it compare with remi? https://github.com/rawpython/remi

Looking at the examples, for quick UIs, REMI seems simpler. And PySimpleGUI (https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI) offers REMI as a backend to deploy on web too (PySimpleGUI is pretty simple to learn).

Making GUIs is always a fair amount of work/overhead on whatever you are working on, and I like to stay in Python when possible (I've used REMI (https://github.com/rawpython/remi) to create web apps before in Python). Thanks for creating this. I look forward to updates!

This is cool. How does it compare to Remi? I haven’t used it but I am curious

remi works by pre-defining js and html elements

I'd like to point to the excellent REMI [1] library that provides similar capabilities to Lona. You can create web apps by only writing Python. They can also be executed as GUI programs. You can even choose REMI to be the output backend of PySimpleGUI [2].

Not sure what the differences are, but good to know there are similar approaches :) Maybe every project can learn from each other. Thanks for sharing!

I have installed the last version of REMI (from https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi). When I launch the examples, like hello_world, all is perfectly displayed but the obtained UI is not reactive: no effect when I click on buttons, etc. I tried with Python 2 and 3.

I never used mpld3, but you can see an example of matplotlib here remi/matplotlib_app.py at master · dddomodossola/remi (github.com) .

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/dddomodossola/remi.git
