MinimalFletClass

A minimal class which generates a Flet application.

What is Flet?

Flet is a framework that allows building interactive multi-user web, desktop and mobile applications in your favorite language without prior experience in frontend development [1]. Flet controls are based on Flutter [2].

What is this class?

In Flet documentation [3], there does not exist an object oriented approach that generates a Flet application. In this class, I have tried to create a minimal class that generates a Flet application. To do this, we overwrite the __call__ method of a simple class and use this class as an argument for the flet.app function.

Installation

It is just a boilerplate class, you can directly use it. However you need to install flet module first. You can use the package manager [pip] to install flet with one of these following commands.

pip install flet
pip3 install flet
python -m pip install flet
python3 -m pip install flet
py -m pip install flet

Usage

As a first step you should import flet module.

import flet

Then you can edit the name of the class and all the other information required to build your application.

class MinimalFletClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.__page = None

    def __call__(self, flet_page: flet.Page):
        self.__page = flet_page
        '''
        Create your app here
        '''
        self.__page.update()

At last you can check if your Python file is called directly or not. If it is, then you can create an instance of MinimalFletClass as:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    flet.app(target=MinimalFletClass())

You can find these codes in minimal.py file. Also you can use boilerplate.py file as a more complete starting point for your first application.
