Stop Writing JavaScript for Sliders

Stop over-engineering your web apps. In this video, we ditch the hydration errors and useEffect hooks to build a dynamic range slider using nothing but FastAPI and HTMX. We prove that you don't need a heavy JavaScript framework for modern interactivity. I'll show you the full setup, the backend logic, and how to stream HTML directly to your frontend for real-time updates. This is the future of the Full-Stack Python stack. 0:00 - Introduction 0:04 - Overview of Using Range Sliders with HTMX 0:09 - Basic Setup Overview 0:15 - Main.py Setup and Endpoint Introduction 0:26 - Adding the Slider 0:35 - Refreshing and Input Explanation 0:51 - HX Trigger and HX Post Explanation 1:17 - Adding an Endpoint in main.py 1:38 - Displaying Slider Movement on Screen 1:44 - Potential Use Cases 1:47 - Enhancing the Functionality 1:56 - HX Swap Explanation 2:17 - Iterating Over Numbers 2:37 - Refresh and Demonstration 2:46 - Conclusion and Call to Action Relevant Reads: Unlocking Interactivity with HTMX’s Trigger Attribute https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/unlocking-interactivity-with-htmxs-trigger-attribute-c892be020ba7 Harnessing the Power of HTMX’s include Parameter https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/harnessing-the-power-of-htmxs-include-parameter-5f6d71a12a3c HTMX: Simplifying AJAX with hx-get https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/htmx-simplifying-ajax-with-hx-get-e5d8a898e95e HTMX’s JavaScript API: Power at Your Fingertips https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/htmxs-javascript-api-power-at-your-fingertips-c6fb13929b14 Spicing Up HTML with HTMX: Understanding HTTP Verbs https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/spicing-up-html-with-htmx-understanding-http-verbs-ba2961d327ac Unleashing the Power of HTMX: Simplifying Web Development and Revolutionizing User Experience https://medium.com/@thewilltejeda/unleashing-the-power-of-htmx-simplifying-web-development-and-revolutionizing-user-experience-f3ab6824ec47 [Ways to support]: Buy Me A Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/thewilltejeda Show support on Patreon and get access to additional goodies: https://www.patreon.com/thewilltejeda #HTMX #FastAPI #Python #WebDev #NoCode
