Here's my thought on 💭 FastHX
Very interesting approach to htmx 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 def htmx_or_data() -> list[User]: return [ User(first_name="John", last_name="Lennon"), User(first_name="Paul", last_name="McCartney"), User(first_name="George", last_name="Harrison"), User(first_name="Ringo", last_name="Starr"), ] @app.get("/admin-list") @jinja.hx("user-list.html", no_data=True) def htmx_only() -> list[User]: return [User(first_name="Billy", last_name="Shears")]
