2023-08-07 How to create a Django form (using HTMX) in 90 seconds 🐎

There will be 3 steps. You don’t need to know anything about HTMX - I’ll show you the minimal to get you doing. I’ve already created a Django project, as well as a Django app called sim .

Let’s go.

Finished (HTMX is great)

Congratulations! You can now submit data asynchronously in a simple and robust way using HMTX.

Compared to adding javascript on the frontend (such as with Alpine JS, or with Vue or React or Svelte), using HTMX means that your code is:

  • Much easier to test (your can test almost everything using Django tests on the backend)

  • In one place . It is not spread across multiple places, such as a frontend server and a backend server.

  • Faster to build (because you get fewer errors because of the above points)

Build your Django frontend even faster

Probably like you, I want to release high-quality products as soon as possible.

I want my vision for my Django app to become reality as soon as possible.

That’s why I built Photon Designer - an entirely visual editor for building Django frontend at the speed that light hits your eyes.

Photon Designer outputs neat, clean Django templates, using HTMX to accelerate you further.

The Djangonaut Space Pilot Program (our first “flight”) is underway Summer 2023, with our first group of 6 Djangonauts.

This program is geared to help Django and Python programmers get involved with and contribute to the Django community. Make sure to follow this page as we will be continually celebrating our contributors!
