heaven

Heaven :

Heaven is a very very small, extremely tiny, and insanely fast ASGI web application framework. It was designed to facilitate productivity by allowing for complete mastery in 10 minutes or less.

Heaven is a very light layer around ASGI with support for application mounting and is perhaps the simplest and one of the fastest python web frameworks (biased opinion of course).

• Documentation Go To Docs
• PyPi https://pypi.org/project/heaven
• Source Code Github

Quickstart

• Install with pip

$ pip install heaven

• create a function to handle your http requests in a file of your choosing i.e. patients.py or controllers/patients/records.py

from heaven import Request, Response, Context


async def get_record_by_id(req: Request, res: Response, ctx: Context):
    id = req.params.get('id')

    # we'll get to this in a minute
    dbconn = req.app.peek('dbconnection')
    results = await dbconn.execute('select * from patients where id = 1000')

    # req, res, ctx are available in your jinja templates
    ctx.keep('results', results)
    await res.render('patients.html')

• Optional : You can create functions to be initialised at app startup i.e. in middlewares/database.py

from heaven import App 

async def updatabase(app: App):
    # write code to connect to your database here
    pool = DatabasePool('dsn://here')

    # this will be available in all request handlers as request.app._.dbconn or req.app.peek('dbconn')
    app.keep('dbconn', pool)

• Create your heaven application and connect your request handler e.g. in src/example.py

from heaven import App  # also available as Router, Application


router = Router()


# you can persist things like db connections etc at app startup
router.ON(STARTUP, 'middlewares.connections.updatabase')


# note that you did not need to import your request handler, just giving heaven
# the path to your handler as a string is enough
router.GET('/v1/patients/:id', 'controllers.patients.records.get_record_by_id')

• You can run with uvicorn, gunicorn or any other asgi HTTP, HTTP2, and web socket protocol server of your choice.

$ uvicorn app:example --reload
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:8000
