The Principal's Guide to HTMX

Why HTMX?

HTMX allows you to build modern, interactive user interfaces while keeping your backend logic in Python/Django - no need for complex JavaScript frameworks.

Core Concepts

• HTML-First: Enhance HTML with attributes instead of writing JavaScript.
• Partial Updates: Update specific parts of the page without full reloads.
• Server-Side Rendering: Keep your logic in Django templates and views.
• Progressive Enhancement: Works even if JavaScript is disabled.

Use Cases

Perfect for admin panels, dashboards, and internal tools where you want rich interactivity without the overhead of React/Vue.
