This is actually the first HTMX video I've watched from beginning to end. Why? Because it demonstrated real-world issues. Thanks all the way from Somalia!
Thank you for the tutorials, I had not looked into that Django-htmx that deeply. Thank you for simplifying for us. Your tutorial has made my current project awesome
Thank you for the content you produce. And thank you for the Scottish accent! 😀 I was supposed to move to Scotland recently but some unfortunate events stopped me, so this will help ease the pain. I'm in the beginning of my Django learning journey, so I will definitely come to your videos many times. Good luck!
Thank you very much - glad you like the content (and accent) 😄Sorry to hear the move to Scotland didn't work out. If you have any requests for content, feel free to let me know, and good luck!
@@bugbytes3923 GeoDjango is something I'm interested in. It's still too early for me to jump right there, but hopefully in the future I can use your videos to get familiar with it. Thanks!
Im so glad I found your channel. Im an aspiring django developer and ive made some static pages however I was dreading taking on JavaScript and discovered HTMX. Your content is precise and has already got me going. Thanks all the way from Sunderland 😁
Thanks for the video. Please don’t skip frames of copy paste and editing... it becomes more easy to follow and understand... thanks again for the video🎉
This is awesome dude. I'm learning HTMX/Hyperscript and it's a massive help to be able to reference your videos along with the documentation, especially as i'm more of a Django person than a Javascript wizard!
@@bugbytes3923 haha In my learning I went from Python (yay), Django (yay), JS....wtf is this! ;) HTMX/Hyperscript, is actually making me look at a lot more JS but it's hard when you are as used to Python.
You're my favorite channel for modern django and tooling for it. I've been getting into htmx and hyperscript a lot. Would you please make a video on the htmx extension 'client-side-templates' with django for more dynamically templating partial endpoints (specifically api-like endpoints just returning data)? A couple months ago I'd been learning XSLT and XSD (XML) with ideas of using it with XHTML in django projects. It seems like overkill using it though just to template incoming data from an api endpoint yet this htmx extension seems like a much better fit. I'm also interested in where to put the mustache/handlebars templates if doing this (in static or templates?) as well as the ease of integration and compared performance to the normal template partials. Keep up the content! Always enjoy it, especially the django stuff with an extra bonus for all django + htmx topics
Hey really nice video About htmx, it seems like code readability and maintenance wise it would be a disaster since now (perceived) client side and server side is a lot more dependent on each other. So you cannot guess what the client side is doing without checking other partial templates.
I agree with those points, to an extent. HTMX can simplify a lot of the development/deployment process, and is a great tool for developers who aren't necessary front-end engineers - but at some point with a large app, it may be difficult to maintain. The trade-off between the two approaches is interesting to me, but I still don't fully know my own opinion on it all :D
Last day someone on reddit was asking for best channels on youtube for django and htmx and everyone agree that BugBytes is the best ever !!!... thank you very much sir your content is very helpful and we use it a lot as a guide and best practice when using django and htmx .. I have a big project with djangorestframework as an api and react on frontend and I am rethinking of built it with django-htmx.. One question please, if we use hx_push_url it's only change the url I can't use for example to add active class base on url {% if request.path == 'aboutPage' %} bg-gray-600 text-green-400 {% endif %} .. what is the work around of this ?
I didn't know that - nice to hear, thank you! I'm not sure about your problem there - you may need to write some custom JavaScript for this, perhaps - to check the current URL and add a class dynamically when the response is received. Will think about it and get back to you.
Love it! Is the only purpose of "boost" to send a boolean in a htmx request? Also, do you recommend using retarget as a general rule of thumb vs hx-target within the html or is it just a personal preference?
Thanks Keyton. You're better to serve the static content such as vendor libraries (HTMX, Alpine, etc) directly from the server, rather than from a CDN. Good article on why here: blog.wesleyac.com/posts/why-not-javascript-cdn On prod, you have a few options: 1. Download the HTMX source code directly to your repository, and serve it from the static root. You could, for example, just copy the source code from the CDN to a local file called 'htmx.min.js' and add that file to your static resources in the Django project. 2. Use NPM and a tool like Webpack or Vite, and manage your JavaScript resources through this bundler tool. Better to do this if you're using a lot of external JavaScript libraries, perhaps. Maybe this should be a video :D
Regarding the http response location, I really dislike using the target option on the view because of the coupling it creates between the backend and the frontend. Is there an alternative to control directly in the frontend where to load the response?
How do you handle server errors like 500, 501 or 404 errors. During development, it is useful to see the actual django error in the browser rather than seeing it in the browser console.
That's an easy like from me. Quick question. Around 10-minute mark. What method should I overload in class-based views for `if request.htmx` part? Is it `def get`?
@@bugbytes3923 great, thank you! As a general feedback, it would be very useful if you could at least verbally mention the implementation in the class based views for those of us who prefer it :) what you wrote in this reply is absolutely enough. Looking forward to your next videos!
Quick question, I've been using htmx in django without django_htmx and one of my views (submitting a form for an arbitrary content block model instance on the given page through a modal), when the form is valid, returns a simple HttpResponse with an 'HX-Trigger' parameter set to a custom htmx event I have configured on the client side. I am now wanting to use django_htmx to reduce my htmx-related configuration and hacks but am wondering regarding 'trigger_client_event', if I were to return a trigger_client_event with the response mentioned (having 'HX-Trigger'), would both events be fired or would the former one be overridden?
Thanks for the video. But i have some questions, why is my local (src="js/htmx.min.js" ) not working, but the remote "src="http.........htmx....." is working ?
Looking for methods to track page views. I have seen Django hitcount etc. But it requires the user is logged in and session data I believe. I wonder if there is a HTMX method. Great video as always! Thanks
Anyone had hx-push problems with HTMX? I have a navbar with onclick animations. Whenever I use hx-push in my hx-get request, I lose the navbar animations. Only after a hard refresh does it all come back.
I think this comes down to preference. Two ways to achieve the same thing, essentially. OOB swaps are a little bit harder to reason about, in my opinion. Nothing wrong with them, but if I have django-htmx in my app, I'd probably opt for using the retarget() function.
@@bugbytes3923 In my opinion refering HTML IDs within your Django code, couples the both interfaces a bit too tightly. Keeping frontend logic to the frontend makes maintenance easier and the overall architecture less complex.

This library maintained by Adams Chainz is quiet interesting. Thanks for showing the in-depths of django-htmx.
Thanks!
