Creating GUI Applications with Flet in Python

Developing graphical user interface (GUI) applications is an important skill for many software developers. With the Flet library in Python, you can easily create cross-platform GUI applications that look great and are easy to use.

What is Flet?

Flet is a Python library that allows developers to create GUI applications using a simple and intuitive API. With Flet, you can easily create windows, buttons, text fields, and other common GUI elements, and customize their appearance to fit your needs.

Why Use Flet?

One of the main advantages of using Flet is its cross-platform compatibility. Flet applications can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux without any modifications. This makes it easy to develop and deploy GUI applications that work on any platform.

Getting Started with Flet

To start using Flet, you first need to install the library. You can do this using pip by running the following command:

pip install flet

Once you have installed Flet, you can start creating GUI applications by importing the library in your Python code and using its API to create windows, buttons, text fields, and other GUI elements.

Example Code

    
import flet

window = flet.Window(title="My First GUI App", width=400, height=300)
button = flet.Button(text="Click Me", x=150, y=150, width=100, height=50)

def on_button_click():
    flet.alert("Button Clicked!")

button.on_click = on_button_click

window.add_widget(button)
window.show()
    
    

Conclusion

With Flet in Python, creating GUI applications for all platforms is easier than ever. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, Flet provides a simple and powerful way to create beautiful and functional GUI applications that can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux without any hassle.

What IDE is that, it's already open when he starts using it. Text is a bit small and the colours aren't contrasty enough. Plus he goes too fast.

Looks very interesting. Would it be possible to create an app that uses a phone camera and a bar-code reader for iOSAndroid using it?
