Hyper2Web

Super Fast HTTP2 Framework for Progressive Web Application

Installation

To install Hyper2Web, run this command in your terminal:

$ # due to a known issue, please install Curio manually
$ pip install git+https://github.com/dabeaz/curio.git
$ pip install hyper2web

This is the preferred method to install Hyper2Web, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don't have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Dependency

Python3.6

h2

curio

Quick Start

Assuming you have a directory structure like:

your project/
--public/
  --index.html
  --index.js
  ...
--app.py

Your app.py looks like

from hyper2web import app

if __name__ == '__main__':

        # A basic callback style API is provided
        # Function name is up to you
        async def post_echo(request, response):
                # Send the data received back to the client
                await response.send(request.stream.data)

        app = app.App(port=5000)
        app.post('name', post_echo)
        app.up()

Then run this script

$ python app.py

That's it!

If you just want to serve static files, it's just 2 lines!

from hyper2web import app
app.App(port=5000).up()

Misc

Why did I create this framework?

April 23rd, 2017, Sunday, I woke up and felt bored and decided to create my own HTTP2 web framework.

Since I had little or some prior web knowledge, this would be a super learning and fun project for me.
