HTML-ivating your Django web app's experience with HTMX, AlpineJS, and streaming HTML - Chris May
Discover how to elevate your Django web app's experience with HTMX, AlpineJS, and streaming HTML, using techniques like server-sent events, HTML fragments, and scoped styles to create more engaging and interactive interfaces.
- Elevated experiences are needed to create better user experiences. A traditional web app refreshes the page on every interaction, which can lead to a negative experience.
- Spas (Single-Page Applications) are a solution to this, but they can also bring complexity and have trade-offs.
- Server-Sent Events (SSE) is a technology that allows a server to push messages to a client, which can be used to create elevated experiences.
- HTMX is a framework that allows you to create elevated experiences with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
- AlpineJS is another framework that can be used to create elevated experiences with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
- Streaming HTML can be used to create elevated experiences by sending HTML fragments down to the client as they are available.
- Django can be used to create elevated experiences with the help of frameworks like HTMX and AlpineJS.
- Removing whole page refreshes is one of the key components of creating elevated experiences.
- Using HTML fragments is another key component of creating elevated experiences with HTMX.
- Leveraging scoped styles is a way to make HTML fragments more efficient.
- Creating interactive interfaces is a way to make elevated experiences more engaging.
- Server-side rendering is a way to improve performance by rendering the server-side HTML before sending it to the client.
- Asynchronous rendering is a way to improve performance by rendering the server-side HTML in the background while still sending the initial response to the client.
- Yielding HTML is a way to send HTML fragments down to the client as they are available.
- Using templates is a way to simplify the process of creating elevated experiences.
- Splitting templates is a way to make templates more efficient by yielding HTML fragments as they are needed.
- Using CSS is a way to make HTML fragments more efficient by allowing them to be styled on the client-side.
- Using JavaScript is a way to make HTML fragments more efficient by allowing them to be interactive on the client-side.
- Creating a better user experience is the ultimate goal of creating elevated experiences.
