HTMX is a lightweight JavaScript library that allows you to build dynamic, modern web applications without relying on heavy front-end frameworks. Combined with Flask and Jinja2, you can create rich, interactive user experiences while keeping your tech stack simple and Pythonic.
In this tutorial, we'll walk through integrating HTMX into a Flask project using Jinja2 templates for dynamic, server-rendered content updates.
Step 1: Set Up Your Flask Project
Start by creating a virtual environment and installing Flask:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use venv\Scripts\activate
pip install flask
Create a basic folder structure:
project/
│
├── app.py
├── templates/
│ ├── index.html
│ └── partials/
│ └── more_items.html
└── static/
└── htmx.min.js
