FastHTML Best Practices: Streamlining Web Development

FastHTML differs significantly from frameworks like FastAPI/React. Its best practices emphasize conciseness and efficiency, leveraging smart defaults to minimize code. This article highlights several key FastHTML best practices: simplifying database table creation with `db.create()`; using function names as route names; preferring query parameters over path parameters; utilizing return values for functional chaining; employing the `.to()` method for URL generation; leveraging PicoCSS's automatic styling; and adopting functional programming patterns. These techniques result in cleaner, more readable, and maintainable FastHTML applications.
