- This is an interesting problem. I want to make a solution for this on htmx [1]-patterns. I would make user specific routes with an hx-get rather than serving the whole page, serve a partial with hx-oobs to fill in user specific data with a no cache on the cdn level.

jinja has a loop variable that is very handy to use with htmx [1]. Whether you want to implement a click to load more or an infinite scroll this loop variable is very handy. {% for person in persons %} <li {% if loop.last %} hx-get="{{ url_for('infinite', page=next_page) }}" hx-trigger="intersect once" hx-target="#persons" hx-swap='beforeend' hx-indicator="#persons-loading" {% endif %} {{ person.name.upper() }} - {{ person.phone_number }} </li> {% endfor %} Now for every chunk of contacts that we load we will trigger the infinite scroll by loading more once the last one has intersected the screen.

- Great episode covering a seemingly simple topic. What I really benefitted from was hearing all the different use cases, from logging, debugging, to a/b testing, caching, and auth. I hadn’t even thought of it being applied to a router. I thought of it being applied for an entire application. This seems very useful for things like an admin router, all routes would need to have the admin role to get in. Note This post is a thought [1].

![[None]] I’ve been using these decorators to modify the behavior of specific routes. It will do things like 404 admin only routes in a way that looks just like fastapi [1]’s default, or only allow certain roles into the route, or redirect unauthenticated users to login. After listening to yesterday’s syntaxfm I’m now really thinking about middleware and the benefits it might have. middleware would make it easy to apply things like admin to an entire admin router, so you wont forget it on any one admin route. It will look cleaner as the admin checker is only applied once per router, not once per route. import inspect import time from functools import wraps from inspect import signature from fastapi import Request from fastapi.responses import FileResponse, JSONResponse, RedirectResponse from starlette import status from fokais.config import get_config from fokais.models.user import Role config = get_config() admin_routes = [] authenticated_routes = [] not_cached_routes = [] cached_routes = [] def not_found(request): hx_request_header = request.headers.get("hx-request") user_agent = request.headers.get("user-agent", "").lower() if "mozilla" in user_agent or "webkit" i...

![[None]] jinja’s url_for in fastapi [1] does not account for https by default, there is probably a better way, but this is a way that allows me to configure when I use http vs https. @pass_context def https_url_for(context: dict, name: str, **path_params: Any) -> str: """ always convert http to https """ request = context["request"] http_url = request.url_for(name, **path_params) return str(http_url).replace("http", "https", 1) def get_templates(config: BaseSettings) -> Jinja2Templates: templates = Jinja2Templates(directory="templates") templates.env.globals["https_url_for"] = https_url_for ## only use the default url_for for local development, for dev, qa, and prod use https if os.environ.get("ENV") in ["dev", "qa", "prod"]: templates.env.globals["url_for"] = https_url_for console.print("Using HTTPS") else: console.print("Using HTTP") return templates Note This post is a thought [2].

605: Jim Nielsen on Subversive URLs, Blogging + AI, and Design Engineers Jim Nielsen joins us to about URLs and linking as the new subversive way to maintain the web, paying for news in Canada, should content creators be worried about AI, the case for design engineers, … ShopTalk · shoptalkshow.com [1] An absolute fantastic episode about blogging, thinking about a web1.0 kind of world today, and what it means moving forward. Web 1.0 is robust, you own your own destiny, you own your data, you can do what you want. There is no platform to tell you what you can and cannot do. But the future web is stealing your data to build AI models, spam sites are duplicating your content and stealing your SEO. You may or may not care, but at the end whether you get traffic or now you own your web 1.0 sites. Note This post is a thought [2].

- Great take on low code. I have definitely felt the pressure of being presented low code options, “look it does almost everything you need, and you can do it without code.” Granted there are tons of great low code environments that serve their markets well (things like zapier). As pointed out here when they fall short rather than being hard, it goes to nearly impossible. As Theo points out here many applications follow an 80/20 rule. 80% of the app is really easy to put together, and takes about 20% of the time, probably less. What no code does is it takes that 80% that is already easy, makes it even easier ( pitches it as faster whether or not that is true ), and makes the last 20% of the project impossibly hard to create and maintain, so you just should have picked a tool that had the capability of doing the whole thing from the start anyways.

Template Designer Documentation — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x) jinja.palletsprojects.com [1] html [2] code generated by my jinja templates generally look half garbage because of indents and whitespace all over the place. I just learned about these pesky Whitespace Control characters that can get rid of the whitespace added from templating. You can also strip whitespace in templates by hand. If you add a minus sign (-) to the start or end of a block (e.g. a For tag), a comment, or a variable expression, the whitespaces before or after that block will be removed: {% for item in seq -%} {{ item }} {%- endfor %} Note This post is a thought [3].

I am working on fokais.com’s signup page, and I want to hide the form input during an htmx [1] request. I was seeing some issues where I was able to prevent spamming the submit button, but was still able to get one extra hit on it. It also felt like nothing was happening while sending the email to the user for verification. Now I get the form to disappear and a spinner to show during the request. HTML # [3] Let’s start off with the form. It uses htmx to submit a post request to the post_request route. Note that there is a spinner in the post_request with the htmx-indicator class. The intent is to hide the spinner until the request is running, and hide all of the form input during the request. <form id="signup-form" hx-swap-oob="outerHTML" class="m-4 mx-auto mb-6 flex w-80 flex-col rounded-lg b p-4 shadow-xlc shadow-cyan-500/10" method="POST" action="{{ url_for('post_signup') }}" hx-post="{{ url_for('post_signup') }}" > <input class="mx-8 mt-6 mb-4 border border-black bg-zinc-900 p-1 text-center focus:bg-zinc-800" type="text" value="{{ full_name }}" name="full_name" placeholder="Full Name" /> {% if full_name_error %} <label class="-mt-6 mb-6 mx-8 text-red-500 ...
