After a bit of playing with #FastAPI, I feel like it's really, well, API-oriented. You can have templating of course, but it's just a liiiittle clumsier than returning JSON (e. g., you need to manually inject the request into it).
So I'm not entirely sure if I should stick to my original plan of mostly rendering HTML and using #htmx, or if I should go with the framework flow and make a #Vue app. Probably the latter TBH.
@art_codesmith got it. Got it. Yeah, I haven't had the opportunity to dabble with a native async framework before, something I also want to try. You might want to check out some of the ones listed on https://github.com/sponsfreixes/jinja2-fragments like Quart or Sanic to get a feel of how they use templating.
@art_codesmith This is why I switched from FastAPI to Starlette for most of my projects. It has the stuff I care about without the JSON-ification of all the things I don't.
That said, FastAPI can be configured at a more global level to return HTML.
