    hi all the community. Doing my first steps with a frontend working with django... I have seen a lot of tutorials of vuejs, react js and then i found htmx ... Very quickly i can make a one page app. My intention here is to learn, doing first simple apps with django and htmx and continue learning. Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

    yes you can pretty quickly build something w/ django and htmx

    Looking at doing something like https://htmx.org/examples/value-select/ but utilizing the power of Django Forms. In my form, I can add a keyword in the 
    __init__
    and filter one of my 
    ModelChoiceFields
    there. This would result in a reduced select. Anyone know the "Django way" of just getting one fields HTML in a view? Based on being able to do 
    {{ form.field_name }}
    in the template, I found I can do the following in a view:
    Copy code
    def my_htmx_endpoint(request)
  form = MyForm()
  html = str(form['field_name'])
  response = HttpResponse(html)
  return response
    But is there something "better" I should be doing, perhaps with the 
    render
    shortcut?
  • h
    you cannot render a field, just a form or a widget
  • h
    it is upsetting
  • h
    I have a long polemic on the django discord contributor channel about it
  • h
    they closed a bug about it
  • h
    What you have is basically the widget render - I would suggest making a "input group" snippet
  • h
    here's mine

    hmm, can you illuminate the difference between widget and field? Seems my solution does what I want it to
  • h
    I think your solution is fine if it's working
  • h
    the difference is a field contains of the input itself, a label, help text and error text
  • h
    a widget is just the input
  • h
    you're basically calling the widget's render
  • w
    Oh, right. Gotcha.
  • h
    if all you need is the input then that's great
  • w
    Right, since I'm just replacing the widget, I suppose there's no way to provide error text sand such.
  • w
    Which is okay in my case since there's really no way to have an error due to the nature of chained drop downs
  • w
    Gotcha, thanks for the heads up 🙂

    This is most simple and natural thing I could came up with to refactor existing CBV.
  • f
    It is really easy to use, you just have to split correctly your templates and use 
    include
    accordingly. Your opinions?
  • h
    This is how I did it:
