json-sempai

Gives me a reason to put CSS as JSON into Openchain. I was also thinking that CSS Documents in this way could be scaffolded as JSONAPI. Or maybe we need a CSSAPI — etiquette for sending small bits of CSS. My work on Openchain makes this relevant — where your CSS is loaded dynamically based on Unitary Reference Architecture that is expressed in the cryptographic ledger. Then I was thinking "css-sempai" where the CSS file is imported like a Python or JS Module, like here https://github.com/kragniz/json-sempai/ — but for CSS... So like: >>> from csssempai import magic >>> import stylesheet >>> stylesheet <module ‘stylesheet’ from ‘stylesheet.json’> >>> stylesheet.html.body.section[‘max-width’] Would be neat for server-side variable loading of dynamic CSS Sekizai conditionings in Django.

The mechanism is called "import hooks": https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html#import-hooks https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0302/ You can see the import hook added here: https://github.com/kragniz/json-sempai/blob/master/jsonsempa... Import hooks are a great feature in Python. Take the `import` mechanism in the language and reduce it to its barest theoretical formulation - what does it really do? (Name binding.) Think of all the other features in your application that can be reduced to this. (e.g., configuration management) Use the constraints of the import mechanism to guide the design of this feature, and use import hooks to implement it. You'll end up with an implementation that is very "close" to the core language. I would assert that this closeness strongly suggests correctness and composability. Less philosophically, th

My favorite is this issue: https://github.com/kragniz/json-sempai/issues/7 > Ever since I saw this I have been unable to sleep. Please fix.

json-sempai: Use JSON files as if they're python modules! https://github.com/kragniz/json-sempai It's entirely dumb and not very useful.
