  • Django + Htmx package for simple integration

    If you don't already, you should use django-htmx. This will allow you to check if the request was made with HTMX. You can then do something like this:
  • HTMX and Wagtail

    To make things easier, install the django-htmx package. Then, in your Page model's serve(), you can do things like if request.htmx: and return an HTML snippet instead of the full page in that case.

    The great thing about HTMX is it fits really nicely with templated server-rendered frameworks like Django.

    You can have a page with a list of items. The page is one template, and it includes a sub-template which is just the

  • items. Then you have a separate view for "get list fragment" which just returns the updated/sorted/filtered
  • . If you toggle the ordering, or filter the list, HTMX will automatically call the fragment renderer and replace just the
  • items, without reloading the page.

    See this example: https://github.com/adamchainz/django-htmx/blob/8054f049f53f0...

    This approach solves the common interactivity use-cases requiring JS in a server-rendered app, without having to write any JS, and without having to build a REST API. Instead you just render HTML, which your framework is excellent at.

    If you use django-htmx, it's pretty simple to get the "this HTTP request came from HTMX" flag and branch accordingly in your view. The docs give a simple example of the logic here:

    https://django-htmx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/middleware.html...

    The examples give a fleshed-out version: https://github.com/adamchainz/django-htmx/blob/main/example/...

    Though that's very slightly different than how I described it above, but it's basically the same idea; in this case you commonize the `main` block between the two contexts.

  • Django Contrib Messages + HTMX ?

    HTMX has a HX-Trigger response header that enables you to trigger events in the browser that Javascript code can listen for. Assuming you already have Django-HTMX library set up, you could write a middleware like this:

    Nice. I've written some less complete, less consistent variant of this a couple times now. That alone may be worth taking the dependency.
  • Is HTMX a Django-supported equivalent of Rails Hotwire / Turbo?

    I think it's fair to clarify that Adam Johnson (aka adamchainz on Reddit and GitHub) didn't create HTMX but did write the django-htmx app to make it easier to use HTMX in Django.

    django-htmx also comes with it's own version of HttpResponseHtmxRedirect (called HttpResponseClientRedirect).
