FastHTML is a lightweight, high-performance Python framework designed for web
development. It is not as widely recognized as frameworks like Django or Flask, but
it's built to handle web applications with a focus on speed and simplicity. Here’s
a basic guide to get you started:

1. Installation
First, ensure you have Python installed on your system. Then, you can install
FastHTML via pip:

bash
Copy code
pip install fasthtml
2. Basic Project Setup
Create a new directory for your project:

bash
Copy code
mkdir my_fasthtml_project
cd my_fasthtml_project
Inside your project directory, create a Python file, say app.py.

3. Creating a Simple Web Application

In your app.py file, you can start by importing FastHTML and creating a simple
route:

python
Copy code
from fasthtml import FastHTML

app = FastHTML()

@app.route('/')
def home():
return "Hello, FastHTML!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
4. Running the Application
To run your application, execute the Python file:

bash
Copy code
python app.py
This will start a web server, and you can view your web page by navigating to
http://127.0.0.1:8000 in your browser. You should see "Hello, FastHTML!" displayed.

5. Creating HTML Templates

FastHTML allows you to create templates to separate your HTML from your Python
code. Create a templates directory in your project:

bash
Copy code
mkdir templates
Inside the templates directory, create an index.html file:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>FastHTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>{{ message }}</h1>
</body>
</html>
Modify your app.py to render this template:

python
Copy code
from fasthtml import FastHTML, render_template

app = FastHTML()

@app.route('/')
def home():
return render_template('index.html', message="Hello, FastHTML!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
6. Handling Forms and Requests
FastHTML can handle HTTP requests, including form data. Here’s a simple example:

python
Copy code
from fasthtml import FastHTML, render_template, request

app = FastHTML()

@app.route('/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])

def home():
if request.method == 'POST':
username = request.form.get('username')
return f"Hello, {username}!"
return render_template('form.html')

if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)
Create a form.html in your templates folder:

html
Copy code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST">
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username">
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
7. Further Exploration
Static Files: Learn how to serve static files like CSS, JavaScript, and images.
Routing: Explore more advanced routing features.
Database Integration: Learn how to integrate a database for more complex
applications.
This setup should give you a good start with FastHTML. As you become more
comfortable, you can explore its more advanced features or integrate it with other
tools and frameworks.
