Davia: The Simplest Way to Build Web Apps from Python Code

Transform Python scripts into professional web applications in minutes—zero frontend skills required

The Python Developer’s Dilemma

How often do you face this situation? 🤔
Your powerful data processing script or AI model works perfectly in the terminal but becomes useless when colleagues need a visual interface. You spend three weeks building an internal tool—two of those wrestling with React components. Clients demand real-time analytics, but WebSocket implementation eats your development time…

Davia was born to solve these exact pain points! This revolutionary framework lets you create production-ready web apps using pure Python, perfect for:

• ✦ ✅ Visualizing AI agents
• ✦ ✅ Building data dashboards
• ✦ ✅ Creating internal tools
• ✦ ✅ Deploying algorithm services

Why Developers Love Davia

Three Game-Changing Advantages

1. Minimalist Development
   Imagine: A decorator transforms ordinary functions into web endpoints

   from davia import Davia
   app = Davia()
   
   @app.task
   def analyze_sales(data: dict) -> dict:
       # Core business logic
       return {"prediction": processed_data}
   

2. Automatically Generated UI
   Powered by industry-standard shadcn/ui components:

   • ✦ Light/dark mode auto-switching
   • ✦ Mobile-responsive design
   • ✦ Accessibility compliant
   • ✦ Real-time data streaming

   

3. Out-of-the-Box Real-Time Communication
   No more WebSocket configuration headaches:

   @app.task(streaming=True)
   def real_time_processing():
       for i in range(100):
           yield f"Progress: {i}%"
           time.sleep(0.1)

From Zero to Production in 5 Minutes

Installation Made Simple

# Core installation
pip install davia

# AI Developer Edition (Python ≥ 3.11)
pip install davia langgraph "langgraph-api==0.0.38"

Build Your First App

1. Create demo.py:

from davia import Davia
from pydantic import BaseModel

app = Davia()

class UserProfile(BaseModel):
    name: str
    skill_level: int

@app.task
def calculate_power(profile: UserProfile) -> int:
    """
    Game character power calculator
    Formula: Skill level × Name length × 3
    """
    return profile.skill_level * len(profile.name) * 3

2. Launch the server:

davia run demo.py

3. Visit the dashboard URL in your browser (typically https://davia.ai/dashboard)

Professional Development Practices

1. Type Declarations = Superpower
   Use Pydantic models for robust data validation:

class GameInput(BaseModel):
    player_id: str
    weapon_type: Literal["sword", "bow", "magic"]

class BattleResult(BaseModel):
    damage: float
    critical_rate: float

@app.task
def simulate_battle(params: GameInput) -> BattleResult:
    ...

2. Docs Become UI
   Well-crafted docstrings automatically generate interface guides:

@app.task
def predict_weather(city: str, days: int) -> dict:
    """
    City weather forecast model
    
    Parameters:
        city: Lowercase pinyin (e.g., beijing)
        days: Forecast horizon (1-7 days)
    
    Returns:
        {'temperature': [22,25,24], 'weather': ['sunny','cloudy','rainy']}
    """

Advanced Mastery

Seamless FastAPI Integration

Built on FastAPI for enterprise-grade performance:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from davia import Davia

main_app = FastAPI()
davia_app = Davia()

@main_app.get("/health")
def service_health():
    return {"status": "running"}

@davia_app.task
def data_processing():
    return {"result": "Process completed"}

AI Agent Visualization

LangGraph developers rejoice:

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END

class ChatState(BaseModel):
    question: str
    answer: str = ""

graph = StateGraph(ChatState)
# ...Build conversation flow...

@app.agent(graph)
def customer_service(state: ChatState) -> ChatState:
    return graph.run(state)
