Using templates with htmx requires the client-side-templates extension, and the template engine to be loaded in a <script> tag.

Mounting static files in fastapi.

Love the poling example with hx-trigger=‘every 1s’.

Here is a snippet provided by @tiangolo to store the users jwt inside of a session cookie in fatapi. This was written in feb 12, 2020 and admits that this is not a well documented part of fastapi.

It’s already in place. More or less like the rest of the security tools. And it’s compatible with the rest of the parts, integrated with OpenAPI (as possible), but probably most importantly, with dependencies.

It’s just not properly documented yet. 😞

But still, it works 🚀 e.g.

Harlequin is a pretty sweet example of what textual can be used to create. Its a terminal based sql ide for DuckDB.

To persist data in duckdb you need to first make a connection to a duck db database.

con = duckdb.connect('file.db')

Then work off of the connection con rather than duckdb.

duckdb can just query any pandas dataframe that is in memory.

I tried running it against a list of objects and got this error. Great error message that gives me supported types right in the message.

pytest-subtests is a package to register multiple subtests within a similar test function.

A nice codepen reference for dark forms. I am using it for my thoughts chrome extension.

When setting up a new machine, vm, docker image you might be installing command line tools from places like pip. They will often put executables in your ~/.local/bin directory, but by default your shell is not looking in that directory for commands.

WARNING: The script dotenv is installed in '/home/falcon/.local/bin' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

To solve this you need to add that directory to your $PATH.

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

To make this change permanant add this line to your shell’s init script, which is likely something like ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

Very inspiring textual project to check out how they set up the ui. Their intro video has a pretty epic dev experience.

wsrepl is an epic websocket repl built in python on the textual framework.

When fetching pydantic models from the database with sqlmodel, and you cannot select your item by id, you probably need to use a where clause. This is the sqlmodel way of doing it.

Here is a snippet of how I am using sqlmodel select and where to find a post by link in my thoughts database.

In order to turn url encoded links back into links that I would find in the database of my thoughts project I need to urldecode them when they hit the api. When anything hits the api it must urlencode the links in order for them to be sent correctly as data and not get parsed as part of the url.

Here is a snippet of how I am using urlib.parse.unquote to un-encode encoded urls so that I can fetch posts from the database.

In order to send data that includes special characters such as / in a url you need to url encode it. You have probably seen these many times in urls with things like %20 for spaces.

I’m working on a chrome extension to make quick blog posts, like thoughts or a persistent bookmark tool with comments. The backend is written in fastapi and when I check to see if I have a post for a page I need to url encode it.

curl -X 'GET' \ 'https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/link/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fhtmx.org%2Fextensions%2Fclient-side-templates%2F' \ -H 'accept: application/json'

curl example generated from the fastapi swagger docs.

Here is how I used javascript’s encodeURIComponent to turn my chrome extension into a notification when I already have a post for the current page.

Lately in 2023 I have been leaning on lazyvim for my new setups where I am not necessarily ready to drop my full config. It’s been pretty solid, and comes with a very nice setup out of the box, the docs are pretty fantastic as well.

Prime reviews an article with some hot takes about python being slow and quirky, but good enough for a lot of things. Especially data applications that have libraries written in C.

Such an inspiring clip from Kelsey Heightower. Make good shit that inspires people rather than fake ppts of how things could be.

Next time I’m working with large headers on small screens I need to try this. I always truggle to get them to look good for most text and overflow ridiculously long words correctly or at all.
