For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
django-htmx
- Django + Htmx package for simple integration
-
Disabling HTMX Urls
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.
-
Htmx
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.

Building a fullstack app with Flask and HTMx
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:
-
What are your favorite 3rd party packages that you often use with Django?
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?
Full URL for django-htmx: https://github.com/adamchainz/django-htmx (creator here)
-
Frontend with Django
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 and hx-delete request verb
django-htmx also comes with it's own version of HttpResponseHtmxRedirect (called HttpResponseClientRedirect).

HTMX and Wagtail
How you handle breaking the template apart is really up to you, and doesn't have an impact on the Wagtail admin, which only cares about your Page. The author of HTMX is fond of a pattern he calls Template Fragments; to take that approach with Django/Wagtail, you'll want django-render-block. But that might be overkill depending on your use case.

Django templates - DTL, Jinja, JinjaX?
I don't use it since I'm not on the htmx boat (Unpoly fan here). But, I saw this one with good eyes if I ever migrate to htmx: https://github.com/clokep/django-render-block
