Click To Edit
Demonstrates inline editing of a data object
The click to edit pattern provides a way to offer inline editing of all or part of a record without a page refresh.
- This pattern starts with a UI that shows the details of a contact. The div has a button that will get the editing UI for the contact from /contact/edit
```
@app.get("/contact")
def get_contact():
return Div(hx_target="this", hx_swap="outerHTML", cls="container")(
Div(P(f"Name : {current.name}")),
Div(P(f"Email : {current.email}")),
Button("Click To Edit", hx_get=contact_edit.rt(), cls="btn primary"),
)
```
- This returns a form that can be used to edit the contact
```
@app.get("/contact/edit")
def contact_edit():
return Form(hx_put=put_contact.rt(), hx_target="this", hx_swap="outerHTML", cls="container")(
Div(Label("Name"), Input(type="text", name="name", value=current.name)),
Div(Label("Email"), Input(type="email", name="email", value=current.email)),
Button("Submit", cls="btn"),
Button("Cancel", hx_get=get_contact.rt(), cls="btn"),
)
```
The form issues a PUT back to /contact, following the usual REST-ful pattern.
```
@app.put("/contact")
def put_contact(c: Contact):
global current
current = c
return get_contact()
```
