    Thanks! Do you think I could get the desired behavior by submitting the form via htmx?
  • r
    Unless you have some very special requirements, you absolutely should be able to
  • b
    Thanks, really appreciate it!

    hi folks, random question. htmx should it automatically process htmx attributes loaded on an htmx response ?
  • m
    yes
  • e
    ty, I love your avatar by the way. xD

    happy to see that some folks at Google recognize that making your URLs "/mythings//myotherthings" doesn't make your API automatically RESTful, but that is a pattern shared with REST:

    Anyone had experience with https://github.com/jorgebucaran/hyperapp ? I'm curious what htmx-minded people think
  • r
    Reminds me of mithril.js and similar projects
  • r
    They even mention virtual DOM

    I keep feeling like these "html as function calls" type libraries originated from a time when IDE's couldn't easily embed highlighters within eachother. I mean, you'll get some benefit in IDE's that are simply better at working with javascript.
  • r
    But the trade off is you're adding a whole layer of abstraction between yourself and the html, so eh.
  • r
    I want to live in a world where you can get HTML, SQL, shell highlighting embedded in any language, but it just isn't the case.

    Just as an example, I maintain this one over on Sublime for Python, but this stuff certainly does not come out of the box, sadly.
  • r
    editors/tooling determining our languages and frameworks feels bad man, but so common.
  • r
    (Actually, this is my theory on how we ended up with so much separation of concerns in the industry in the first place... sub-par tooling).
  • r
    aka "editor can only use X highlighter on 1 file"... so, separation of concerns.
  • r
    @ripe-action-67367 Shell in Python strings for Pyinfra actually 😉

    I'm feeling this at the moment. Language servers get us some of the way but it's still a very non-trivial task to embed several languages in the same file. Treesitter is fairly nice for highlighting. But that only covers a few editors. I also think that editor capabilities are one reason people are put off by path-based routing. It can be a little clunky to create new paths compared to adding strings to an existing file.
  • g
    i'd give embedded DSLs a little more credit 🙂 full-fledged programming languages typically allow more fine-grained composition, typechecking, etc.
  • g
    over in #1087038976210255994 we've been talking about that recently
  • b
    I’m just trying to create something like Svelte but with Python instead of JS. Editor support looks like it will be hellish.
  • b
    There was a discussion about generalizing f-strings to do language-specific things, like 
    sql”…”
    or 
    html”…”
    , which might help editor support
  • b
    huh - that could be interesting. Guessing that won't be for 3.12 ?
  • b
    https://github.com/jimbaker/tagstr still in progress, but Guido is involved so seems like it has legs
  • b
    I found that from a discussion in the 
    django-components
    repo where they want to make single-file-components and embed the template/JS/CSS within one Python file, but editor support isn’t there, no syntax highlighting of the HTML in a Python string, and so on.

    hello, i'm looking for a way to download a file from my backend server if it's a 200 OK response but if the server sends an error response then htmx should trigger the error event so i can handle it client side. i have basically 
    <a href="/my/file" hx-boost="true">my file</a>
    . this is just to make htmx do the request. the issue is that on success htmx is swapping in the (binary) contents of the file into the page.
