Been looking at the draft results of the Django Developer survey - htmx, Playwright and django-ninja have all gained ground in popularity 📈
Do you use any of these, and if so, why? If you are a new user, what made you try it out/make a switch?
The appeal of htmx and django-ninja are reducing the number of layers needed to accomplish a given task. With htmx we can do more with htmx without install node modules to do something that arguably should just work in HTML.
I use django-ninja a little bit and it's nice for quick apis without having to fully learn a new framework.
Playwright is nice for testing and arguably is a better requests-library replacement.
@sarahboyce I came to webdev during the rise of jQuery, so the way HTMX works feels very similar to that, but I write HTML attributes instead of boilerplate [javascript] code. I don't do a lot of frontend work so picking up something like React (and friends) feels much heavier than layering a little bit of HTMX into a template!
