Anvil Python Framework : Create Your Apps With Only Python [ Full-Stack Dev ]

Hey what's going on !
This is an introduction to a new Python technology called Anvil.
Anvil is a platform or a framework for building full-stack web applications with only Python.
Hope you enjoy this presentation, and just to clarify I'm not with or against Anvil, because I read a lot of Negative Opinions about this platform, but I can say that for each door there's a key; and maybe Anvil is a key to solve a lot of problems in companies which don't want to be bothered by all the new tech on the market ( languages, frameworks, etc... ) and want something simple to create an application quickly to do the job.

It all started from a Spotify Real Python podcast with Merredyd , which got me interested in Anvil - You guys are doing great job and I might prepare longer tutorials for building more complex apps with Anvil - Cheers

Interesting. Vey good presentation. I am sold. Few questions: 1. Can we build a full-fledged CRM SaaS with Anvil ? 2. How can we integrate this with other Python libraries like Pytorch, Pyomo etc?

Great tutorial. How about doing one where an end user can upload an excel file through the uplink function. I have been trying to get this to work but still can't figure out how to convert the stream back into an excel file.

Hi, I would like to fix a problem which appears. I tried to follow each step and compare the syntax and when I want to submit a feedback then occurs a problem as: anvil.server.SerializationError: Cannot serialize arguments to function. Cannot serialize object at msg['kwargs']['created_on'] Have you ever met with this problem ?

@BekBrace Жыл бұрын

Hey there. Actually I have not, but the error message insinuating that your server cannot serialize the arguments passed - Classes cannot be serialized, other Python regular types can - to the feedback function. Check again in ServerModule1 (backend code) and Form1 , maybe this is an indentation error that took the class instead.

Do you reckon this would be good for a client-heavy app? I see that there is PWA support and local storage is available as an extension.

@BekBrace Жыл бұрын

Hi Corolla and thank you for your comment, Anvil primarily focuses on server-side development, it also provides support for client-side development through its rich user interface components and event-driven programming model. When it comes to client-heavy applications, Anvil can certainly be a suitable choice depending on your specific requirements. Here are a few factors to consider: PWA Support: Anvil does provide Progressive Web App (PWA) support, which allows your application to function as a native-like app on supported devices. Local Storage Extension: Anvil offers an extension for local storage, allowing you to store data on the client-side. This can be useful for caching data and storing user preferences. Rich User Interface Components: Anvil provides a wide range of pre-built UI components, including forms, tables, charts, and media players. Event-driven Programming Model: Anvil's event-driven programming model allows you to handle user interactions and events easily.

Hi I am getting "AppOfflineError: Connection to server failed (error) at Form1, line 23" i.e. when I am calling Server module from submit button click for line "anvil.server.call('add_feedback',name,email,feedback)" I tried for couple of day, but it throws same error. Any thoughts on this?

@BekBrace 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the question my friend, it's very valuable to me. It seems like you're encountering an "AppOfflineError" when attempting to connect to the server from your application, specifically when calling the anvil.server.call() function. To troubleshoot this, ensure your device has a stable internet connection and that the Anvil server is operational. Check for any relevant error logs on the Anvil platform and verify you're using the latest Anvil library version. Additionally, review firewall and proxy settings to ensure they're not blocking the connection. Simplifying your code and gradually adding back components can help isolate the issue, and if all else fails, contacting Anvil support for personalized assistance is recommended.

Afaik with flask, the best you can do is update via refreshing the page, but there's no reactivity using that at least You can use vue3 as a frontend with flask as a backend though with pretty good results
