This looks great! Building HTML on the server with static types and htmx is a very productive combination!
At work, we have been exploring alternatives to templates in our Django project and just released it as a lib to help with this:
At work, we have been exploring alternatives to templates in our Django project and just released it as a lib to help with this:
Have you tried to "bring up front" if and for? For example
> if_(cond, tag1(), tag2()) # without eagerly execute both branches
Instead of
> tag1() if cond else tag2()
And
for_(cars, lambda car: car_details(car)) # while still being type checked
Instead of
> [car_details(car) for car in cars]
htpy supports generators/callables as children (https://htpy.dev/streaming/). As long as you are careful to wrap things in generators/lambdas everything is lazy. Implementing if_ and for_ is straightforward and anyone can build constructs like that to use. But will not be lazy unless all arguments are wrapped in lambdas:
from htpy import div, li, ul
def if_(cond, a, b):
return a() if cond() else b()
def for_(items, func):
return (func(item) for item in items())
print(div[if_(lambda: True, lambda: "True!", lambda: "False!")])
print(div[if_(lambda: False, lambda: "True!", lambda: "False!")])
print(ul[for_(lambda: ["a", "b", "c"], lambda x: li[x])])
<div>True!</div>
<div>False!</div>
<ul><li>a</li><li>b</li><li>c</li></ul>
