Small, self-contained snippets and full apps that show PythonNative's
component model and patterns. Each example is also runnable inside a
project scaffolded with pn init.
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Hello world | The smallest possible app and how it boots. |
| Counter | use_state, event handlers, and basic styling. |
| Forms | TextInput, controlled inputs, validation, submit. |
| Lists | FlatList, keyed children, dynamic rendering. |
| Navigation | Stack, tab, and drawer navigators side-by-side. |
pn init my-app
cd my-app
# Edit app/main.py and paste any of the snippets below.
pn run android # or: pn run iosThe app/main.py that pn init writes already returns a small
counter; replace it with one of the snippets to try a different
example.
Compose small components and pass them as children:
import pythonnative as pn
@pn.component
def LabeledInput(label: str = "", placeholder: str = ""):
return pn.Column(
pn.Text(label, style={"font_size": 14, "bold": True}),
pn.TextInput(placeholder=placeholder),
style={"spacing": 4},
)
@pn.component
def SignUp():
return pn.ScrollView(
pn.Column(
pn.Text("Sign up", style={"font_size": 24, "bold": True}),
LabeledInput(label="Name", placeholder="Enter your name"),
LabeledInput(label="Email", placeholder="[email protected]"),
pn.Button("Submit", on_click=lambda: print("submitted")),
style={"spacing": 12, "padding": 16},
)
)ThemeContext = pn.create_context({"primary": "#0a84ff", "bg": "#fff"})
@pn.component
def Header():
theme = pn.use_context(ThemeContext)
return pn.Text(
"Hello",
style={"color": theme["primary"], "font_size": 28, "bold": True},
)
