## What it is
A pattern repository documenting how to combine Django with htmx, complete with runnable example code. It is explicitly not a library - the code is released into the public domain for developers to copy-paste into their own projects.

## Use cases
- learn how to use htmx with Django
- implement inline partials in Django templates
- add field-by-field form validation with htmx
- build modal dialogs with Django and htmx
- structure Django views for partial rendering
- find copy-paste patterns for hypermedia-driven Django apps

## When to choose
- You are building a Django project with htmx and want proven patterns rather than a packaged dependency
- You want locality of behaviour with inline partials and minimal view-code changes
- You prefer copy-paste public-domain code you fully control over adding libraries like django-htmx

## When to avoid
- You need an installable pip package with an API - this is documentation and example code, not a library
- You are not using Django or htmx
- You need a complete tutorial from scratch rather than pattern-level guidance
