About Requiring Login for HTMX Views
Don't use @login_required decorator for HTMX views. Instead use a response with HX-Redirect header, e.g.:
from django.shortcuts import render, resolve_url
from django.conf import settings
from django_htmx.http import HttpResponseClientRedirect
def htmx_personal_info(request):
if not request.user.is_authenticated:
login_url = resolve_url(settings.LOGIN_URL)
return HttpResponseClientRedirect(login_url)
return render(request, "core/htmx/personal_info.html")
HttpResponseClientRedirect from django-htmx creates a HttpResponse with HX-Redirect header and redirects the visitor to the login page on the client side, instead of rendering a login page inside the widget from which it has been requested.
