A Flask extension to work with HTMX.

Documentation: https://flask-htmx.readthedocs.io

.. quickstart-startblock

Quickstart
==========

Install the extension with pip.

.. code-block:: bash

    pip install flask-htmx

Or perhaps you use Poetry.

.. code-block:: bash

    poetry add flask-htmx

HTMX Request
------------

You can register the HTMX object by passing the Flask
:code:`app` object via the constructor.

.. code-block:: python

    htmx = HTMX(app)

Or you can register the HTMX object using
`HTMX.init_app() <https://flask-htmx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flask_htmx.htmx.html#flask_htmx.htmx.HTMX.init_app>`_.

.. code-block:: python

    htmx = HTMX()
    htmx.init_app(app)

A minimal working example.

.. code-block:: python

    from flask import Flask
    from flask_htmx import HTMX

    app = Flask(__name__)
    htmx = HTMX(app)

    @app.route("/")
    def home():
        if htmx:
            return render_template("partials/thing.html")
        return render_template("index.html")

The above example checks whether the request came
from HTMX or not. If :code:`htmx` evaluates to
`True <https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#True>`_, then it was a HTMX request, else
`False <https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#False>`_.

This allows you to return a partial
HTML when it's a HTMX request or the full page HTML
when it is a normal browser request.

Flask-HTMX also supports checking for HTMX headers
during a request in the view. For example, check
the current URL of the browser of a HTMX request.

.. code-block:: python

    @app.route("/")
    def home():
        current_url = htmx.current_url
        return render_template("index.html", current_url=current_url)

Other HTMX request headers are also available.
See https://htmx.org/reference/#request_headers.

HTMX Response
-------------

You might be interested on adding
`htmx response headers <https://htmx.org/reference/#response_headers>`_ to your response.
Use :code:`flask_htmx.make_response` for that. For example, instead of:

.. code-block:: python

    import json
    from flask import make_response
    from my_app import app

    @app.route("/hola-mundo")
    def hola_mundo():
        body = "Hola Mundo!"
        response = make_response(body)
        response.headers["HX-Push-URL"] = "false"
        trigger_string = json.dumps({"event1":"A message", "event2":"Another message"})
        response.headers["HX-Trigger"] = trigger_string
        return response

You can do:

.. code-block:: python

    from flask_htmx import make_response
    from my_app import app

    @app.route("/hola-mundo")
    def hola_mundo():
        body = "Hola Mundo!"
        return make_response(
            body,
            push_url=False,
            trigger={"event1": "A message", "event2": "Another message"},
        )

.. quickstart-endblock
