weave

Weave implements a reactive programming model where UI components automatically re-render when underlying data changes, using a dependency graph that tracks data mutations and propagates updates to dependent views. The system uses Python decorators and context managers to establish bindings between data objects and their visual representations, eliminating manual state management boilerplate.

Weave provides a component model where UI elements are composed hierarchically, each with isolated local state that can be lifted to parent components or shared globally. Components use a props-based interface for data flow and emit events for parent communication, implementing a unidirectional data flow pattern similar to React but with Python-native syntax.

Weave includes a schema system that allows developers to define strongly-typed data structures using Python type hints and dataclass-like syntax, with automatic validation, serialization, and deserialization. The schema system integrates with the reactive binding layer to ensure type safety across data mutations and UI updates.

Weave provides built-in components and utilities for exploring datasets interactively, including table views with sorting/filtering, drill-down navigation into nested data, and dynamic query building. The system tracks exploration state (current filters, sort order, selected rows) reactively, allowing users to compose complex queries without writing SQL or pandas code.

Weave integrates with visualization libraries (Plotly, Matplotlib, Vega) and wraps them in reactive components that automatically re-render when underlying data changes. Developers can compose multiple visualizations that share data sources, and interactions in one chart (e.g., selecting a range) automatically filter data in dependent charts.

Weave provides utilities for calling backend functions (Python, REST APIs, or serverless functions) from UI components with automatic loading states, error handling, and result caching. The system supports async/await syntax and integrates with the reactive binding layer to update UI when backend calls complete.

Weave can automatically generate interactive forms from data schemas, with built-in validation, error messages, and type-specific input widgets (text fields, dropdowns, date pickers). Form state is reactive, so validation errors update in real-time as users type, and form submission triggers backend operations with automatic loading states.

Weave provides a state management system that tracks all data mutations in an application, enabling undo/redo functionality by replaying state changes. The system uses an immutable data model internally, so state changes create new snapshots rather than mutating objects in-place, allowing efficient time-travel debugging and state recovery.

Weave supports multiple users editing the same application state simultaneously, using operational transformation or CRDT-like techniques to merge concurrent changes. The system automatically synchronizes state across connected clients, resolving conflicts based on configurable merge strategies.

Weave provides utilities to export application data to multiple formats (CSV, Excel, PDF, JSON) and generate reports using template systems. Exports can include visualizations, tables, and computed summaries, with automatic formatting and styling. The system integrates with the reactive binding layer so exports always reflect the current filtered/sorted state.
