dynamic web applications

How long to see the documentation and example for dynamic web applications? Any support for hummingbird?

Thank you for checking out my library, Hummingbird is what I am working on for serverside applications, you can see a basic example that isn't quite complete (got busy at work during working on this) in the examples directory.

To further this comment it's pretty much possible to use with Hummingbird as is, the way I'd recommend doing so is taking the response generator from here, at some point I will implement a more WebUI standard one into the library, and just replacing the contents of the html: html parameter as seen in input() with a WebUI Page e.g. HomeView().document.render() at the time of writing make sure your render the document and not just the component as otherwise you'll miss out on all of the metadata generation.

It's also a good idea to create a baseMetadata with your site information as seen in the examples directory and then generate page document metadata using the Metadata(from: ViewConfiguration.metadata, title: "Home") pattern which you can see an example of here.

I am also planning on adding some kind of state management and basic scripting functionality directly into WebUI, as of today you can use the Script element and write custom JS inside e.g.

Script { """
  console.log("Hello, world!")
""" }

The above will renders as:

<script>
  console.log("Hello, world!")
</script>

This is fine for now but the library absolutely will have an interactivity model that transpires to JS code.
