FastHX - FastHX volfpeter.github.io [1] Very interesting approach to htmx [2] and fast api. It uses separate decorators for returning template partials and json that can be stacked to include both options on a single route. The templates are explicitly set in the decorator. Separate decorators are used for full page and partial pages. I don’t see an example of full and partial pages being combined. I think the demo app must be behaving in a spa like fashion where it does not get all of the data when it calls index and index will ask for user-list. Definitely going to keep my eye on this project and ponder on it. from fastapi import FastAPI from fastapi.templating import Jinja2Templates from fasthx import Jinja from pydantic import BaseModel # Pydantic model of the data the example API is using. class User(BaseModel): first_name: str last_name: str # Create the app. app = FastAPI() # Create a FastAPI Jinja2Templates instance and use it to create a # FastHX Jinja instance that will serve as your decorator. jinja = Jinja(Jinja2Templates("templates")) @app.get("/") @jinja.page("index.html") def index() -> None: ... @app.get("/user-list") @jinja.hx("user-list.html") async...

GitHub - svenstaro/miniserve: 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! 🌟 For when you really just want to serve some files over HTTP right now! - svenstaro/miniserve GitHub · github.com [1] miniserve is a sweet http server, replacement for python -m http.server. It’s fast, runs off a small binary, but why would I want to use it over something that already exists on most machines, because it includes a bunch of features like qr codes, pretty themes, and uploads. I’ve used python -m http.server many times to transfer files from one machine to another in a pinch, like at a family members house. But what if they have an android, windows, or something not easy to get a python repl running on, you can run miniserve and upload from their device rather than hosting from their device.

Kind of ... daniel.haxx.se · daniel.haxx.se [1] Interesting to see that curl is used in so many places.

I’ve started leaning in on kubernetes kustomize to customize my manifests per deployment per environment. Today I learned that it comes with a diff command. kubectl diff -k k8s/overlays/local You can enable color diffs by using an external diff provider like colordiff. export KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF="colordiff -N -u" You might need to install colordiff if you don’t already have it. sudo pacman -S colordiff sudo apt install colordiff Now I can try out kustomize changes and see the change with kustomize diff.

Animal well does not let you remap keys, and really doesn’t even inform you that it is keyboard compatible. I had to play around and discover the keymap, which can be a bit tricky on a 40% board. This is what I found. - wasd - move - space - jump / a - enter - interact / b - x - throw - c - inventory - 1 - left item / rb - 2 - open item menu / triangle - 3 - right item / lb

Background Tasks - FastAPI FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code, ready for production fastapi.tiangolo.com [1] fastapi [2] comes with a concept of background tasks which are functions that can be ran in the background after a function has been ran. This is handy for longer running functions that may take some time and you want to have fast response times. Here is an example from the docs from fastapi import BackgroundTasks, FastAPI app = FastAPI() def write_notification(email: str, message=""): with open("log.txt", mode="w") as email_file: content = f"notification for {email}: {message}" email_file.write(content) @app.post("/send-notification/{email}") async def send_notification(email: str, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks): background_tasks.add_task(write_notification, email, message="some notification") return {"message": "Notification sent in the background"} Note This post is a thought [3].
