Introduction

labb is a Django component library that lets you build beautiful interfaces using simple, HTML-like syntax. Write <c-lb.button> instead of complex template tags. Build professional UIs in minutes, not hours.

            
            labb.html
        
    <c-lb.button
  variant="primary"
  icon="rmx.terminal"
  size="lg"
  class="shadow-xl"
>
    pip install labbui
</c-lb.button>

Why labb?

Simple Syntax — Components look like HTML, not Django template tags. Clean, readable, and intuitive.

Backend Rendered — Server-side rendering means fast page loads, perfect SEO, and zero JavaScript overhead.

Familiar Tooling — Built on Django Cotton with daisyUI 5 styling. Accessible, customizable, and extensible.

Developer Friendly — Powerful CLI for setup, component inspection, and AI-assisted development. Works seamlessly with Cursor, VSCode Copilot, and other AI tools.

Reactive When You Need It — Components are zero-JS by default. Add Alpine.js interactivity with .x variants on a per-component basis. No bundler, no build step, nothing loads unless you use it.
