asgiref VS turbo

uvicorn is an ASGI server that is recommended for running FastAPI applications.

I can't seem to be able to edit on mobile. OP either meant this, or its variation, such as async_to_sync and sync_to_async.

Ofc this is a python example. I have no idea how it works in different languages.

FastAPI is a popular Python Web framework that developers use to create RESTful APIs. It is based on Pydantic and Python-type hints that assist in the serialization, deserialization, and validation of data. In this tutorial, we will use FastAPI to create a simple "Hello World" application. We test and run the application locally. FastAPI requires a ASGI server to run the application production such as Uvicorn.

Look at the intended semantics [1], and then read the implementation [2]. Can you figure out if the implementation is correct? Can you infer the possible limitations of the approach at glance? Can your async library actually handle being called with multiple event loops installed?

I have zero trust in this code and I have been bitten by fixes to this library that introduced deadlocks in my own code.

Using WebSockets in Django utilizes asynchronous Python and Django channels, making the process straightforward. Using Django channels, you can create an ASGI server, and then create a group where users can send text messages to all the other users in the group in real time. This way, you are not communicating with a particular user, but with a group, multiple users can be added.

If you're interested in the architecture itself I recommend you start by making yourself familiar with [ASGI specification](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) .

We switched to using strong typing derived from the asgiref for typing ASGI types, which makes Starlite the strongest type framework of its kind.

I also recommend checking out the docs for Stimulus and Turbo to familiarise yourself with all their features and the APIs used in this series.

Turbo 8 remove typescript without using JSDOC

Experiment using Turbo to drive front-end behavior: "Turbo 7.2.0 (currently in beta) allows you to define your own Stream actions which can be any JS code you want. By combining a custom Stream action or two with web components, you can essentially drive reactive frontend behavior from the backend stupidly easily. Loooove it! 😍 […] For a turnkey example, you could check out https://github.com/hopsoft/turbo_ready " —Jared White on The Spicy Web Discord

This handles disconnection (as could be done by any destructive change to the DOM, like navigating with Turbo or htmx, I'm not even talking about using the element in a JavaScript-heavy web app) but not reconnection though, and we've exited early from the connectedCallback to avoid initializing the element twice, so this change actually broke our component in these situations where it's moved around, or stashed and then reinserted. To fix that, we need to always call addSparkles in connectedCallback, so move all the rest into an if, that's actually as simple as that… except that when the user prefers reduced motion, sparkles are never removed, so they keep piling in each time the element is connected again. One way to handle that, without introducing our housekeeping of individual timers, is to just remove all sparkles on disconnection. Either that or conditionally add them in connectedCallback if either we're initializing the element (including attaching the shadow DOM) or the user doesn't prefer reduced motion. The difference between both approaches is in whether we want the small animation when the sparkles appear (and appearing at new random locations). I went with the latter.

If you think you have seen enough Rails magic, you are mistaken my friend. Rails have a new trick up its sleeve: Hotwire. And with the magical Turbo tool that comes with it, you can create modern, interactive web applications with minimal, or sometimes no JavaScript at all, providing users with an incredibly smooth experience.

There is also Turbo and the frameworks who adopt them, Ruby on Rails, PHP Symphony and possibly others that solves the same issue in the same manner as HTMX. And the choice for HTMX is only a personal taste in this, but you should definitely learn about this, this is as cool as HTMX!

Most controversially, the Turbo framework dropped TypeScript support altogether after assessing that strong typing was the culprit behind poor developer experience.

Turbo[0] has been solving this for years. Quite the contrary, front-end frameworks have started to think "sending JSON is good, but actually sending HTML could be great!".

DHH's presentation[1] during Rails World 2023 is quite interesting in that regard, I recommend you give it a go (start around minute 16). I am actually very excited with his vision of the web.
