    hmmm
  • m
    feels conflicted
  • m
    at least I get compile time error when my template fails
  • m
    for this template codegen I'm using
  • m
    I can't fuck up by using a type which doesn't exist
  • m
    very true
  • m
    I accepted it because Java doesn't have a good metaprogramming API
  • m
    I am not broadly endorsing it
  • m
    all sorts of garbage comes alone w/ it
  • m
    I hope the above image communicates some ambivalence to the current situation one finds oneself in
  • m
    looks like a man who has given up and decided "to hell with it, can't beat em, join em"

    hmm. At what point does using html fragments go from simple/just wanting to avoid having to write a partial to this is getting complex and should probably be a partial
  • m
    I don't know about you but I dont like to look at a large html template
  • m
    Definitely a matter of taste
  • m
    what I like about fragments is that it divorces the "this file is too big, time to pull stuff out" situation from the "I want to re-render this bit of the template" situation
  • m
    I'm personally OK w/ larger files (and, in general, classes) than most people are, as evidenced by this: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/master/src/htmx.js

    Honestly I’m impressed you can get anything done when it feels like you are in discord 24/7
  • m
    Discord is such a distraction
  • m
    no lie, I need to stop

    I like the distinction between: - I break this on multiple files, because this "child" fragment will be reused by multiple parents - This fragment will always have the same parent (or be on its own), so let's have them together on a single file

    @mysterious-toddler-20573 I've adopted your Template Fragments stuff in my Django app, using django-render-block as suggested. It turned out pretty nice! Here is a full description of the pattern with example Django code - please consider linking it :
  • m
    sure, what's the link?

    Thinking about templating that doesn’t have fragments, I suppose a work around would be to render the whole template and then pull out the parts you need with some standard selectors. Eg
    Copy code
    python
return html_parser(my_template.render(context)).select(“#myFragmentID”)
  • b
    Assumes rendering a whole template doesn’t have side effects. Eg hitting the database for a part you won’t use.
  • m
    is there a way I can have two kinds of triggers for two different events on the same element?
  • m
    I want to send a hx-post on update event client side when Sortable has detected I changed the sort order
  • m
    and the other when I add something to the list from another list
