HTML Web Components
Most people using react aren't building SPAs. Vue/React can be used the same way as jquery, which is to add enhanced UI functionality that server-side HTML views simply can't offer.
The best example is a multi-select box, or a searchable select box with autocomplete (what W3 calls the combobox pattern https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/) which in jquery was usually via https://select2.org/
For example, on my company website there's a timezone select box with are 151 options. Asking a user to simply scroll through 100+ to find theirs is annoying vs typing a few characters and hitting enter.
There's many examples of select boxes like that and there really is no static server-side way to solve this problem (I tried hard to think of one)... without creating a multi-page Wizard for what should be a single field on a larger form.
If you're building a SaaS product there are many highly-interactive components that demand JS and there's really no better mainstream solution atm than static-first sites with small "islands" of Vue/React style components (ideally with hydration) where interactivity is required.
People still abuse React/Vue of course, but the trend is 100% moving back to "mostly static" rather than slow SPAs and IMO JS-powered components are not never going away unless browsers start offering these complex components built-in.

I add a log database for my Django project what to do ??
I’m a fan of select2 (https://select2.org), it supports loading in data from a foreign source (API)

Formset factory for displaying hundreds of records for editing. Is there a better way?
You could use a Select2() for the records which prevent the massive amount of data being transferred.

What are the popular PHP Frameworks you are using for the development of web applications and why?
Sometimes I still import it for only one thing : select2 that depends on it. Does anyone have an alternative ? I'd love it

Better way of selecting Foreign key objects in django admin form
The traditional solution was to use ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields, a comma-delimited string of IDs in a text input. Many users found the interaction inelegant, and so ModelAdmin.autocomplete_fields with live search integration with Select2 was added in Django 2.0.
- How do you create a category (or select an existing one) from a field value on a page form in MediaWiki?

How would i go about displaying more information of objects in a ModelForm?
The module django-extensions has a searchable select box widget. There are others using Select2 as well.

When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.

HTMZ inspired form subission
I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

Go + Hypermedia - A Learning Journey (Part 1)
I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.

Htmx become 0 clause BSD-licensed
Apparently it changed from 2-clause BSD: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e16f1865a494b6...
(The zero clause license drops the requirements for preserving the copyright notice when distributing)

Web frameworks we are most excited for in 2024
It would be a sin not to start with something that prides itself on being the front-end library of peace. HTMX skyrocketed in popularity in 2023, gaining most of its GitHub stars during the past year. HTMX is not your average JS framework. If you work in HTMX, you will spend most of your time in the world of hypermedia, looking at web development from a completely different pair of eyes as compared to our usual JS-heavy outlook on modern web development. HTMX leverages the power of the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), enabling developers to access browser features directly from HTML, instead of using Javascript.
