Whenever I see new BugBytes videos, I click "like" first, before grabbing a drink to go along with watching the video. 😁

I can't believe you're still doing these tutorials. Your work is beyound expectations. To be frank with you, "You're very much sefless". You always enlighten people. This is what I call the TRUE GOSPEL. I really appreciate all your works.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot! Means a lot, thank you.

@@bugbytes3923 I hope you can design an e-commerce website and make it as a series of tutorials. You are among the best in terms of explaining the steps.

Came from another one of your videos, you can't imagine my relief when I saw you also do htmx tutorials. Keep up the great work, love the Django and HTMX content

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot Alek! Glad you're liking the content - will keep going 💪

[@trosgate]

I have no doubt that this teacher will reach 10,000 users in no time. Simple reason is that he knows how to implement and utilize the capabilities of external packages

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, really appreciate it!

@@graczew Thanks a lot for the support over the time, Krzysztof. Django will always be a core part of the content, even with some other stuff mixed in.

Thanks Seydina! Much appreciated!

[@fernandtape9363]

Welcome back HTMX. Great as always. Can't wait for the coming full project.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks!

[@dovh49]

When working with vanilla forms like this `hx-boost=true` is a great attribute. As for having the button outside of the form you could simply use the `form` attribute, like this `Submit`.

[@bugbytes3923]

Good tips, thanks!

[@bal_mahmuda]

mantap, makasih bug bytes. bagus banget nama channel nya.

[@craigphollingsworth1460]

Great video again! Really, really helpful. Would love to see a follow up on how you would handle validation on the multiple submit. cheers

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot Craig! Will look into an extension of the video 👍

[@Peterstavrou]

Another excellent video!

[@bugbytes3923]

Thank you Peter!

[@SkeechFab]

Spectacular mate thx! How would you dynamically add more fields/rows to one form? For example, you want to add and number for some, but then want to add additional information, rows, for other contacts and the additional info isn't necessarily 'name' and 'number'.

[@ermalgashimramori]

As always great great content.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot!

[@o3cloudng357]

Hello BugBytes, You have been amazing since I found your channel. Can you make a video on how to use htmx to update dynamic forms /formset like this one

[@UmutAlverGuclu-xg8ex]

Thank you! How would you add inline editing - htmx?

[@nikoskalousis3523]

Great tutorial as always! Thank you very much! What if I have to present two different forms on the user but allow him/her to add rows only to one? Consider a Band - Musician app where in each entry there will be only one Band form and any number of musicians... Say: Band: Pink Floyd, Year Formed: 1965, Active: True Musician: David Gilmour, Instrument: Guitar etc. Is it better to use a formset for the Musician's instances? Thank in advance.

[@JayJay-th3hd]

Nice work! Every video is very helpful to understand django and htmx! In this example it's possible to limit the number of forms where the user can create? hx-get="{% url 'create-contact' %}" hx-target="#contact-forms"

[@95myou]

it would be really cool if you can add an auto-complete to form line :D BTW really cool content

[@ayubkara1092]

thank you as always for the great content , can't help but ask will you ever consider doing something about Django Channels maybe in the future ?

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot! I did this video on Websockets + HTMX that uses Django-Channels. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJS5qHd7mNppgZI There will be a full course on Channels this year at some point. I'll start planning this when I get some time in a few months.

[@UsGreg]

Please, make hx-boost tutorial :)

[@bugbytes3923]

Good idea! Thanks.

[@grzegorzkalmus3629]

Nice idea :)

[@DenisCardosoTutor]

Great tutorial. Is there a way to does not show the "submit all" if there is no form to submit ?

[@zawanns]

Thank you so much for your content, always helpful. I’ve just used this method and it works perfectly. And i’d like to know what if in the partial form we want to use django-select2 on one of the field. Thank you once more. 😎

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure about django-select2 in this example, but could look into that in a future video perhaps.

[@iniasderoeck1345]

Could you a video on the htmx with django CBV and more advanced relations instead of 1 FK. I have a project im really struggling with... Kind regards

[@marcoroose9973]

Very nice! But what about form errors?

[@kellyqiu7784]

Thank you! could you please also upload the starter code for this?

[@eduardsanchez6962]

greate tutorial OMG, just a question can this works with forenkyes, like add multiples instance of phone number of one person??

[@MalfuncEddie]

Maybe an idea for the next video (django,htmx): How do you create a "wizard" where the questions influence each other. like formA yes/no question (Would you like to know more) if yes -> ask for mail(q1a) ask for name (q1b) --> go to formB if no -> go to form C formB yes/no question (Would you like to know our promo's) if yes: Ask more questions if no: go to end .... at the end I it should return a dict with { q1: true, q1a: "answer", q1b: "answer", q2: false, q2a: "", q2b: "", q3: ... } I know there are "questionaire" django projects but for some reason I can't get my head around them.

[@hakanbilgin6875]

thank you good informations.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks!

[@tofuman9526]

I wonder. Would you build an app like Typeform with HTMX? Conceptually it seems like SPA approach is more suitable, just because it seems easier to build out. Even the display of the forms themselves, which in Typeform may include some logic, I.e rendering different forms acocording to answer provided…

[@joey4uandme]

Can this be used for a single field in a model? For example. You use htmx to display a field in a model on a form only when another model field choice is selected.

[@asqarsakenov]

How to make drop-downs which can fetch only the distinct values from psql? And next drop down in one row should depend on values of the previous choice and etc. I have to filter up the product price based on 4 filters like in excel and then fetch the corresponding price from DB to form an invoice. Thanks in advance!

[@xVeraldi]

Would you be able to replace the Cancel button with an icon and have the same result using hx-on attribute?

[@bugbytes3923]

Absolutely! Any icon with an hx-click trigger attached to it will work.

[@AliHassan-wc6nb]

Best thing you did ma'am, can we validate all Input value at once while sending all forms at once. . Like all debits must be equal to total credits. Hope you got my point.

[@trosgate]

In the widget, I think we can specify required=True to ensure that any form added is required. Htmx can be used to validate as well

[@lordAvatar]

Hej BugBytes, great vid as always. I can't seem to find your repo for this one, am I being dumb/crazy?

[@ewyg]

which one should I use? hyperscript or alpinejs...? seems like alpinejs is more popular and mature?

[@bugbytes3923]

Both are great choices. Alpine is probably more popular and mature, though.

[@umrana5946]

thanks alot

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks for watching!

[@prezlamen]

Can this be done in flask?

[@bugbytes3923]

It could be done in Flask, with a few alterations - switch the Django forms with WTForms, for one. flask.palletsprojects.com/en/3.0.x/patterns/wtforms/ All the HTMX stuff can be done with Flask in a very similar manner.

[@prezlamen]

@@bugbytes3923 Thank you! If I can suggest, try to increase font size for KZbin.

[@amine63404]

I am struggling with something, can you help please. How do we deal with forms errors. I am able to show them, but not able to remove them, because of when the form is valid, it's adding a new line but of course not removing the htmp errors tags.

Hello. Thanks for the video lesson. As always, everything is at the highest level. Could you show how to complete the following task: a block with comments under the post, with sub-levels (replies to comments) and a separate block that adds up the number of comments. Thank you.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks! That's an interesting suggestion. Will add to the list, but it would require a new video and some prep.
