# QtPie

**Tasty way to build Qt apps**

```python
from qtpie import entrypoint, make, state, widget
from qtpy.QtWidgets import QLabel, QPushButton, QWidget


@entrypoint
@widget
class Counter(QWidget):
    count: int = state(0)
    label: QLabel = make(QLabel, bind="Count: {count}")
    button: QPushButton = make(QPushButton, "+1", clicked="increment")

    def increment(self) -> None:
        self.count += 1
```

Click the button. State changes. Label updates. That's it.

**Declarative. Reactive. Delightful.**

## Install

```bash
pip install qtpie
```

## Features

- **`state()`** - reactive variables that update the UI
- **`bind="{x}"`** - format expressions with auto-refresh
- **`clicked="method"`** - signal connections by name
- **`@widget`** - dataclass-style components with automatic layouts
- **`Widget[T]`** - type-safe model binding
- **SCSS hot reload** - style with CSS classes
- **Async support** - `async def` just works
- **pyright strict** - full type safety, no compromises

## Why QtPie?

Qt is powerful but verbose:

```python
# Plain Qt - 35 lines of boilerplate
class Counter(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setObjectName("Counter")
        self.count = 0

        layout = QVBoxLayout(self)

        self.label = QLabel("Count: 0")
        self.label.setObjectName("label")
        layout.addWidget(self.label)

        self.button = QPushButton("Add")
        self.button.setObjectName("button")
        self.button.clicked.connect(self.increment)
        layout.addWidget(self.button)

    def increment(self):
        self.count += 1
        self.label.setText(f"Count: {self.count}")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QApplication([])
    window = Counter()
    window.show()
    app.exec()
```

vs QtPie - **12 lines**, fully reactive:

```python
@entrypoint
@widget
class Counter(QWidget):
    count: int = state(0)
    label: QLabel = make(QLabel, bind="Count: {count}")
    button: QPushButton = make(QPushButton, "+1", clicked="increment")

    def increment(self) -> None:
        self.count += 1
```

## Quick Examples

### Reactive State

```python
count: int = state(0)
label: QLabel = make(QLabel, bind="Count: {count}")

self.count += 1  # Label updates instantly
```

### Two-Way Binding

```python
@widget
class Greeter(QWidget):
    name: str = state("")
    name_input: QLineEdit = make(QLineEdit, bind="name")
    greeting: QLabel = make(QLabel, bind="Hello, {name}!")
```

Type in the input, greeting updates. Change `self.name`, input updates.

### Format Expressions

```python
bind="Count: {count}"
bind="{first} {last}"
bind="{name.upper()}"
bind="Total: ${price * 1.1:.2f}"
```

### Automatic Layouts

```python
@widget
class MyWidget(QWidget):
    top: QLabel = make(QLabel, "Top")
    middle: QLabel = make(QLabel, "Middle")
    bottom: QLabel = make(QLabel, "Bottom")

@widget(layout="form")
class MyForm(QWidget):
    name: QLineEdit = make(QLineEdit, form_label="Name:")
    email: QLineEdit = make(QLineEdit, form_label="Email:")
```

### Model Binding

```python
@dataclass
class Person:
    name: str = ""
    age: int = 0

@widget
class PersonEditor(QWidget, Widget[Person]):
    name: QLineEdit = make(QLineEdit)  # auto-binds to model.name
    age: QSpinBox = make(QSpinBox)      # auto-binds to model.age
```

### Full Qt Access

QtPie is a layer, not a cage. All of Qt is still there:

```python
@widget
class MyWidget(QWidget):
    label: QLabel = make(QLabel, "Hello")

    def setup(self) -> None:
        self.setWindowTitle("My App")
        self.label.setStyleSheet("color: red;")
```
