I am reaching out to propose a reconsideration of Django's current
handling of HTTP methods, specifically in the context of modern web
development practices and the growing adoption of libraries such as HTMX.
I understand that a similar request was previously declined (referenced in
Django Ticket #12635 https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12635).
However, the landscape of web development has significantly evolved since
then. The integration of explicit HTTP methods such as DELETE, POST,
PATCH, and PUT could greatly enhance Django's compatibility with HTMX and
similar libraries.
At present, Django views support methods like post, get, delete, and
patch. However, integrating these methods with HTMX often leads to a
suboptimal experience. This is partly due to the necessity of parsing
request.body to access the transmitted values. Frameworks like Django Rest
Framework (DRF) and other frontend libraries provide a more direct
handling of these HTTP methods.
By supporting these HTTP methods more explicitly, Django could enable
cleaner and more efficient code, particularly in the context of class-
based views. This change would reduce the need for creating multiple URLs
and separate functions for different HTTP methods.
Als for new people to django it makes things more clear if the missing
request.DELETE and request.PATCH, PUT are there.
