+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145

+ # Hyperclass
32
+
33
+ > **Subclass the web.**
34
+
35
+ Hyperclass is an experiment in building interactive web applications as Python
36
+ class hierarchies.
37
+
38
+ HTML elements are Python base classes. Python subclasses become CSS classes.
39
+ Styles follow inheritance. Interaction is ordinary HTTP over WSGI, with htmx in
40
+ the browser.
41
+
42
+ ~~~python
43
+ from hyperclass import css, div, grid, orange, rem
44
+
45
+
46
+ class card(div):
47
+ style = css(
48
+ display=grid,
49
+ gap=1 * rem,
50
+ padding=1.25 * rem,
51
+ border_radius=0.75 * rem,
52
+ )
53
+
54
+
55
+ class warning_card(card):
56
+ style = css(
57
+ border_color=orange,
58
+ background=orange.fade(0.08),
59
+ )
60
+ ~~~
61
+
62
+ Calling:
63
+
64
+ ~~~python
65
+ warning_card("Something happened")
66
+ ~~~
67
+
68
+ would produce ordinary, inspectable HTML:
69
+
70
+ ~~~html
71
+ <div class="card warning-card">Something happened</div>
72
+ ~~~
73
+
74
+ The Python inheritance hierarchy and the CSS cascade cooperate instead of
75
+ imitating one another.
76
+
77
+ ## The model
78
+
79
+ Hyperclass treats classes and instances differently:
80
+
81
+ - An element's first built-in HTML ancestor determines its tag.
82
+ - Each semantic subclass contributes a CSS class.
83
+ - `snake_case` class names become `kebab-case`.
84
+ - Styles are inherited and emitted in method-resolution order.
85
+ - Multiple inheritance composes multiple CSS classes.
86
+ - Classes are also usable as selectors and htmx targets.
87
+ - Instances contain attributes, state, and child content.
88
+
89
+ ~~~python
90
+ class compact:
91
+ style = css(padding=0.5 * rem)
92
+
93
+
94
+ class clickable:
95
+ style = css(cursor="pointer")
96
+
97
+
98
+ class result_card(card, compact, clickable):
99
+ pass
100
+ ~~~
101
+
102
+ A `result_card` would render as:
103
+
104
+ ~~~html
105
+ <div class="card compact clickable result-card"></div>
106
+ ~~~
107
+
108
+ ## Components
109
+
110
+ Components are element subclasses with ordinary Python behavior:
111
+
112
+ ~~~python
113
+ from hyperclass import (
114
+ button,
115
+ closest,
116
+ form,
117
+ hidden,
118
+ hx,
119
+ input,
120
+ outer_morph,
121
+ output,
122
+ )
123
+
124
+
125
+ class counter(card):
126
+ def __init__(self, value):
127
+ self.value = value
128
+
129
+ def content(self):
130
+ yield output(str(self.value))
131
+ yield form(
132
+ input(type=hidden, name="value", value=self.value),
133
+ button("+1", type="submit"),
134
+ hx=hx.post(
135
+ "/counter",
136
+ target=closest(counter),
137
+ swap=outer_morph,
138
+ ),
139
+ )
140
+ ~~~
141
+
142
+ The class `counter` simultaneously represents:
143
+
144
+ - a Python type;
145
+ - an HTML `<div>`;
146
+ - the CSS selector `.counter`;
147
+ - a reusable styled component;
148
+ - a valid htmx target.
149
+
150
+ ## WSGI and htmx
151
+
152
+ Routes return elements directly:
153
+
154
+ ~~~python
155
+ from hyperclass import App
156
+
157
+ app = App()
158
+
159
+
160
+ @app.get("/")
161
+ def index(request):
162
+ return counter(0)
163
+
164
+
165
+ @app.post("/counter")
166
+ def increment(request):
167
+ return counter(request.form.int("value") + 1)
168
+
169
+
170
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
171
+ app.run()
172
+ ~~~
173
+
174
+ The application is a normal WSGI callable. The development server can use
175
+ Python's standard library; production deployment can use any WSGI server.
176
+
177
+ htmx supplies browser-to-server interaction without introducing a client-side
178
+ component runtime. Hyperclass should favor native HTML and CSS for local
179
+ behavior and use htmx when the server needs to participate.
180
+
181
+ ## Principles
182
+
183
+ - **Python is the authoring language.** Control flow, composition, inheritance,
184
+ and reuse are ordinary Python.
185
+ - **The browser remains the browser.** Hyperclass emits standard HTML and CSS
186
+ rather than recreating the DOM on the server.
187
+ - **Classes mean classes.** Python inheritance has a visible, predictable
188
+ relationship to HTML classes and the CSS cascade.
189
+ - **HTTP is the state boundary.** There is no hydration protocol or hidden
190
+ client component lifecycle.
191
+ - **Output should be boring.** Generated markup remains readable in View Source
192
+ and DevTools.
193
+ - **Small is a feature.** Prefer the standard library, WSGI, and a pinned htmx
194
+ asset over a large framework stack.
195
+
196
+ ## Status
197
+
198
+ Hyperclass is currently a design exploration. The examples above describe the
199
+ intended direction, not a released API.

+ # Hyperclass
32
+
33
+ > **Subclass the web.**
34
+
35
+ Hyperclass is an experiment in building interactive web applications as Python
36
+ class hierarchies.
37
+
38
+ HTML elements are Python base classes. Python subclasses become CSS classes.
39
+ Styles follow inheritance. Interaction is ordinary HTTP over WSGI, with htmx in
40
+ the browser.
41
+
42
+ ~~~python
43
+ from hyperclass import css, div, grid, orange, rem
44
+
45
+
46
+ class card(div):
47
+ style = css(
48
+ display=grid,
49
+ gap=1 * rem,
50
+ padding=1.25 * rem,
51
+ border_radius=0.75 * rem,
52
+ )
53
+
54
+
55
+ class warning_card(card):
56
+ style = css(
57
+ border_color=orange,
58
+ background=orange.fade(0.08),
59
+ )
60
+ ~~~
61
+
62
+ Calling:
63
+
64
+ ~~~python
65
+ warning_card("Something happened")
66
+ ~~~
67
+
68
+ would produce ordinary, inspectable HTML:
69
+
70
+ ~~~html
71
+ <div class="card warning-card">Something happened</div>
72
+ ~~~
73
+
74
+ The Python inheritance hierarchy and the CSS cascade cooperate instead of
75
+ imitating one another.
76
+
77
+ ## The model
78
+
79
+ Hyperclass treats classes and instances differently:
80
+
81
+ - An element's first built-in HTML ancestor determines its tag.
82
+ - Each semantic subclass contributes a CSS class.
83
+ - `snake_case` class names become `kebab-case`.
84
+ - Styles are inherited and emitted in method-resolution order.
85
+ - Multiple inheritance composes multiple CSS classes.
86
+ - Classes are also usable as selectors and htmx targets.
87
+ - Instances contain attributes, state, and child content.
88
+
89
+ ~~~python
90
+ class compact:
91
+ style = css(padding=0.5 * rem)
92
+
93
+
94
+ class clickable:
95
+ style = css(cursor="pointer")
96
+
97
+
98
+ class result_card(card, compact, clickable):
99
+ pass
100
+ ~~~
101
+
102
+ A `result_card` would render as:
103
+
104
+ ~~~html
105
+ <div class="card compact clickable result-card"></div>
106
+ ~~~
107
+
108
+ ## Components
109
+
110
+ Components are element subclasses with ordinary Python behavior:
111
+
112
+ ~~~python
113
+ from hyperclass import (
114
+ button,
115
+ closest,
116
+ form,
117
+ hidden,
118
+ hx,
119
+ input,
120
+ outer_morph,
121
+ output,
122
+ )
123
+
124
+
125
+ class counter(card):
126
+ def __init__(self, value):
127
+ self.value = value
128
+
129
+ def content(self):
130
+ yield output(str(self.value))
131
+ yield form(
132
+ input(type=hidden, name="value", value=self.value),
133
+ button("+1", type="submit"),
134
+ hx=hx.post(
135
+ "/counter",
136
+ target=closest(counter),
137
+ swap=outer_morph,
138
+ ),
139
+ )
140
+ ~~~
141
+
142
+ The class `counter` simultaneously represents:
143
+
144
+ - a Python type;
145
+ - an HTML `<div>`;
146
+ - the CSS selector `.counter`;
147
+ - a reusable styled component;
148
+ - a valid htmx target.
149
+
150
+ ## WSGI and htmx
151
+
152
+ Routes return elements directly:
153
+
154
+ ~~~python
155
+ from hyperclass import App
156
+
157
+ app = App()
158
+
159
+
160
+ @app.get("/")
161
+ def index(request):
162
+ return counter(0)
163
+
164
+
165
+ @app.post("/counter")
166
+ def increment(request):
167
+ return counter(request.form.int("value") + 1)
168
+
169
+
170
+ if __name__ == "__main__":
171
+ app.run()
172
+ ~~~
173
+
174
+ The application is a normal WSGI callable. The development server can use
175
+ Python's standard library; production deployment can use any WSGI server.
176
+
177
+ htmx supplies browser-to-server interaction without introducing a client-side
178
+ component runtime. Hyperclass should favor native HTML and CSS for local
179
+ behavior and use htmx when the server needs to participate.
180
+
181
+ ## Principles
182
+
183
+ - **Python is the authoring language.** Control flow, composition, inheritance,
184
+ and reuse are ordinary Python.
185
