Deep dives
Main Ideas
1. HTMLX is a JavaScript library that allows you to add interactivity to your Django app without having to write a lot of JavaScript code. It works by replacing links and buttons with HTMLX attributes that trigger server calls and inject the response into the page.
2. There are several libraries that provide HTMLX functionality for different web frameworks, such as ASGI HTMLX for ASGI-based frameworks like Starlet and HTMLX Flask for Flask-based apps. These libraries allow you to leverage the power of HTMLX in your preferred web framework.
3. The use of patterns, such as partials and render blocks, can help organize your HTML and make it more dynamic. Partial patterns allow you to define reusable HTML snippets that can be rendered with different data, while render blocks allow you to extract specific sections of a template and make them dynamic.
