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

Thanks! Glad you like the videos 👍

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.

[@aleksmith2808]

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]

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

This is awesome; keep on the good work. The video explains what I need to complete my project.

[@bugbytes3923]

Glad to hear the video has helped! Thank you for the support!

[@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.

[@DenisCardosoTutor]

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

[@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]

[@UmutAlverGuclu-xg8ex]

Thank you Peter!

[@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 👍

[@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

[@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!

[@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…

[@marcoroose9973]

Very nice! But what about form errors?

[@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!

[@eduardsanchez6962]

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

[@lordAvatar]

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

[@kellyqiu7784]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@hakanbilgin6875]

thank you good informations.

[@bugbytes3923]

Thanks!

[@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

[@UsGreg]

Please, make hx-boost tutorial :)

[@bugbytes3923]

Good idea! Thanks.

[@grzegorzkalmus3629]

[@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.

[@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

[@umrana5946]

Hi, Can you please share a tutorial for nested form using Django & HTMX...!!!

[@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.

[@airborne.images]

[@prezlamen]

Do you have source code of this app on git? I struggle to recreate this without error.

[@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.
