Deleting

hx-requests has a build in Delete HXRequest which makes it really easy to asyncronously delete something.

 <button {% hx_post 'delete_user' object=user  %}
        hx-trigger='confirmed'
        _="on click call Swal.fire({ text:'Are you sure you want to delete this user?',showCancelButton: true,confirmButtonText: 'Yes'  }) if result.isConfirmed trigger confirmed">
    Delete
</button>

Notes:

• The delete button is using Hyperscript with Sweet Alert to ask the user for confirmation before deleting

• User is an object in the context coming from the view

class DeleteUser(DeleteHXRequest):
    name = "delete_user"
    POST_template = "..." # html returned on post (used to update DOM)

    def handle_delete(self, **kwargs) -> str:
        # This is the default handle_delete

        self.hx_object.delete()
        return self.get_response(**kwargs)

Notes:

• Very simple way to delete asyncronously.

• Use the POST_template to update the DOM after the deletion

• If using Messages, by default the message is set to ‘{model name} deleted successfully`.
