# Caspian Utils (`casp`)

Python is finally reactive.

**Caspian Utils** is the core utility package behind the Caspian framework ecosystem. It provides the building blocks used by Caspian projects: FastAPI-first plumbing, HTML/template processing, reactive integration patterns, RPC helpers, and common DX utilities.

- **PyPI package name:** `casp`
- **Framework/brand name:** Caspian (Caspian Utils is the shared library)

---

## Why Caspian Utils?

Modern web stacks often require a separate Node backend, bundlers, and a growing set of conventions. Caspian projects remove that complexity while keeping the power:

- Keep the **DOM as the source of truth**
- Write **async Python** for server logic
- Call server functions directly from the UI via **RPC**
- Ship without a bundler or build pipeline

Caspian Utils exists to make those patterns reusable across apps and tooling.

---

## Key Capabilities

### FastAPI engine (native async)

Run application logic in **async Python** and leverage the FastAPI ecosystem (middleware, dependency injection, validation, Starlette sessions, etc.).

### Reactive DOM (no build step)

Modify HTML and see changes instantly. No Webpack/Vite required. The DOM is the runtime surface.

### File-system routing

Create pages like:

```text
app/users/index.py
app/users/index.html
```

Caspian projects mount routes automatically based on your folder structure.

### Type-safe RPC (no API routes)

Call Python functions directly from the frontend without manually creating REST endpoints.

### Prisma ORM integration (optional)

Define your schema once and use an auto-generated, type-safe client in Python (no SQL boilerplate).

---

## Installation

```bash
pip install caspian-utils
```

**Python:** `>=3.11`

---

## Quick Start (Conceptual)

A typical Caspian-style app is split into:

- `app/**/index.html` for UI
- `app/**/index.py` (or actions modules) for backend logic / RPC
- optional `app/**/layout.html` for nested layouts

### 1) Reactive UI in HTML

```html
<!-- app/todos/index.html -->

<!-- 1. Import Python Components -->
<!-- @import { Badge } from ../components/ui -->

<div class="flex gap-2 mb-4">
  <Badge variant="default">Tasks: {todos.length}</Badge>
</div>

<!-- 2. Reactive loop -->
<ul>
  <template pp-for="todo in todos">
    <li key="{todo.id}" class="p-2 border-b">{todo.title}</li>
  </template>
</ul>

<script>
  // 3. State initialized by Python backend automatically
  const [todos, setTodos] = pp.state([[todos]]);
</script>
```

### 2) Direct async RPC in Python

```py
# actions.py

from casp.rpc import rpc
from src.lib.prisma.db import prisma

@rpc(require_auth=True)
async def like_post(post_id: str):
    # 1. Direct DB access (async)
    post = await prisma.post.update(
        where={"id": post_id},
        data={"likes": {"increment": 1}},
    )
    # 2. Return data directly to frontend
    return post.likes
```

### 3) Call RPC from the frontend

```html
<button onclick="likePost()">Like Post</button>

<script>
  async function likePost() {
    const newCount = await pp.rpc("like_post", { post_id: "123" });
    setLikes(newCount);
  }
</script>
```

## What’s Included

Caspian Utils ships with integrations commonly used in Caspian projects:

- `fastapi`, `uvicorn`
- `jinja2` (templating)
- `beautifulsoup4` (HTML processing)
- `python-dotenv` (env loading)
- `slowapi` (rate limiting)
- `starsessions` (session management)
- `python-multipart` (uploads)
- `httpx` (HTTP client)
- `tailwind-merge` (class merging utility)
- `werkzeug` (helpers; used in some tooling)
- ID utilities: `cuid2`, `nanoid`, `python-ulid`

(Exact dependencies may vary by version; see `setup.py` in the repository.)

## Packaging Notes

If you are publishing to PyPI under `caspian-utils`, ensure your `setup.py` matches:

```py
setup(
    name="caspian-utils",
    # ...
)
```
