Of course there's many ways around this, but doing them in a declarative, type-safe way is not trivial when using Django templates.
- lordofgibbons 4y agoGiven that example, would you say using SSR with React to add bits of dynamic-ness is directly comparable with using templates + hotwire/htmx? Or is it an apples to oranges comparison?
- silviogutierrez 4y agoIt's very similar, except hotwire/htmx won't give you server rendering. It's not that big a deal if it's just small snippets. This does make testing a lot easier, as the server response is identical to the hydrated client.
- ColonelPhantom 4y agoA hypertext approach such as HTMX in fact does give you server rendering, since you send to the client a normal SSR page with some extra annotations that add SPA features. For React, SSR is secondary. For HTMX, it is primary.
- sgt 4y agoThere's a lot of good advice in that article. I liked the part on cookies in particular. You rarely read that anywhere.
