<p>FastHTML applications are different to applications using FastAPI/react, Django, etc. Don’t assume that FastHTML best practices are the same as those for other frameworks. Best practices embody the fast.ai philosophy: remove ceremony, leverage smart defaults, and write code that’s both concise and clear. The following are some particular opportunities that both humans and language models sometimes miss:</p>

<p>FastLite’s <code>create()</code> is idempotent - it creates the table if needed and returns the table object either way. Using a dataclass-style definition is cleaner and more Pythonic. The <code>id</code> field is automatically the primary key.</p>

<p>This works because:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>hx-on="event: code"</code> is deprecated; <code>hx-on-event="code"</code> is preferred</li>
<li>FastHTML converts <code>_</code> to <code>-</code> (so <code>hx_on__after_request</code> becomes <code>hx-on--after-request</code>)</li>
<li><code>::</code> in HTMX can be used as a shortcut for <code>:htmx:</code>.</li>
<li>HTMX natively accepts <code>-</code> instead of <code>:</code> (so <code>-htmx-</code> works like <code>:htmx:</code>)</li>
<li>HTMX accepts e.g <code>after-request</code> as an alternative to camelCase <code>afterRequest</code></li>
