fasthtml and aplinejs integration

I am using fasthtml and trying out alpinejs for some interactivity. I am stuck with the @click attribute. I can't find a way of getting @click to render in the generated html.

Here is how it is described in the aplinejs documentation.

<div x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = ! open">Toggle Content</button>
 
    <div x-show="open">
        Content...
    </div>
</div>

Obviously, Button("Close", @click="open = ! open"). produces an error in python.

Can you think of any solution to this?

Solution

  • Try this:

    Button('Close', **{"@click": "open =! open"})

    From the docs:

    It also may be that an argument in an HTML tag uses characters that can’t be used in python arguments. To handle these you can define those args using a dictionary.
