# axum-htmx
|
|
|
|
`axum-htmx` is a small extension library providing extractors for the various
|
|
[htmx](https://htmx.org/) headers within
|
|
[axum](https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum). Additionally, the library exports
|
|
const values for all of the htmx headers, so there's no need to mess with
|
|
strings in your handlers.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
axum-htmx = { git = "https://github.com/robertwayne/axum-htmx", branch = "main" }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Extractors
|
|
|
|
All of the [htmx request headers](https://htmx.org/reference/#request_headers)
|
|
have a supported extractor. Additionally, all extractors are infallible, meaning
|
|
they will always succeed and never return an error. If the header is not
|
|
present, the extractor will return `None` or `false` in most cases.
|
|
|
|
| Header | Extractor | Value |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| `HX-Boosted` | `HxBoosted` | `bool` |
|
|
| `HX-Current-URL` | `HxCurrentUrl` | `Option<String>` |
|
|
| `HX-History-Restore-Request` | `HxHistoryRestoreRequest` | `bool` |
|
|
| `HX-Prompt` | `HxPrompt` | `Option<String>` |
|
|
| `HX-Request` | `HxRequest` | `bool` |
|
|
| `HX-Target` | `HxTarget` | `Option<String>` |
|
|
| `HX-Trigger-Name` | `HxTriggerName` | `Option<String>` |
|
|
| `HX-Trigger` | `HxTrigger` | `Option<String>` |
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
In this example, we'll look for the `HX-Boosted` header, which is set when
|
|
applying the [hx-boost](https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-boost/) attribute to an
|
|
element. In our case, we'll use it to determine what kind of response we send.
|
|
|
|
When is this useful? When using a templating engine, like
|
|
[minijinja](https://github.com/mitsuhiko/minijinja), it is common to extend
|
|
different templates from a `_base.html` template. However, htmx works by sending
|
|
partial responses, so extending our `_base.html` would result in lots of extra
|
|
data being sent over the wire.
|
|
|
|
If we wanted to swap between pages, we would need to support both full template
|
|
responses and partial responses _(as the page can be accessed directly or
|
|
through a boosted anchor)_, so we look for the `HX-Boosted` header and extend
|
|
from a `_partial.html` template instead.
|
|
|
|
```rs
|
|
async fn get_index(HxBoosted(boosted): HxBoosted) -> impl IntoResponse {
|
|
if boosted {
|
|
// Send a template extending from _partial.html
|
|
} else {
|
|
// Send a template extending from _base.html
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also take advantage of const header values:
|
|
|
|
```rs
|
|
let mut headers = HeaderMap::new();
|
|
headers.insert(HX_REDIRECT, HeaderValue::from_static("/some/other/page"));
|
|
```
