My Django Roadmap Ideas
Indicative of how marvelously stable Django is that none of these roadmap items have to do with the software.
I came back to the old workhorse for some experimentation recently and was delighted, delighted (!), I tell you, at how familiar, comfortable, and productive it was.
Started exploring a Turbolinks/Turboframes implementation (https://github.com/hotwire-django/turbo-django) that Just Worked. Amusingly, mid-hack, the repo owner marked it as unmaintained.
But it works! Nothing needs doing! Another victim of the cult of constant improvement.

All About Hotwire and Turbo
Yes Turbo is created by the team behind Ruby on Rails and it's an evolution of Turbolinks with bunch of other functionality added. But Turbo can be adapted to other languages and backend frameworks (and already has!). This Turbo thing is not Rails specific.

How do you add reactivity to Django templates?
If you would like to try something different, there is this new thing called hotwired: https://github.com/hotwire-django/turbo-django Basically, it's about generating HTML on the backend and pushing it to the frontend. thru WebSockets. It's not production-ready yet (for Django at least) so it's more like a fun fact for now.
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
