A 'No JS' Solution for Dynamic Search in Django

What's this blog post about?

This post discusses how to use HTMX requests to achieve partial rendering in Django list views. The author explains that while Django is versatile, one of its drawbacks is the full-page reload required for minimal setups. To address this issue, they introduce HTMX, a library that allows users to access modern browser features like partial rendering directly from HTML without needing JavaScript. They provide an example of how to use HTMX in a Django app and demonstrate how it can be used to create dynamic search functionality with a Load More button. The author also mentions the django-htmx package, which provides extensions for using Django with htmx, and encourages readers to explore other possibilities offered by HTMX.
