Please add Litestar

Litestar 2.0 is in beta and coming with jinja and htmx built-in.

I'll be honest, I have read the Litestar docs a few times and it's not exactly clear what "HTMX built in" means.

Are there docs or a blog post or something giving specific details and examples of what that means?

Decided to poke around a bit, and from what I can tell, it appears that they've added classes to handle htmx-specific requests and responses. So a helper class baked in to access request items easier (similar to other solutions that add this via middleware)

https://docs.litestar.dev/2/usage/htmx.html#htmx

And also looks like optional jinja integration:

I dunno. I think it's notable enough that it's being included as a feature of the framework. Might noodle on it for a bit... If I had a little more time, I'd like to try it out with a toy app as well, but probably worth highlighting anyway.

Here is from a recent rc1 announcement that describe htmx as part of litestar 2.0 features https://www.reddit.com/r/litestarapi/comments/15izn1s/litestar_fka_starlite_updates_july_23_edition/

I am part of litestar community and a contributor . We have integrated HTMX in main litestar 2.0 as contrib.
Contrib means it is part of litestar releases , and it will be maintained,updated,documented by core members of the team along with proper tutorials. As you can see we have a proper tutorial there https://docs.litestar.dev/2/usage/htmx.html#htmx .

But UI built using HTMX won't be included in litestar because it is not a fullstack framework like django. Litestar's core can be used without contrib but contribs gives it fullstack-like functionalities .

Litestar 2.0 stable will be released in a few days to a week.

Also feel free to contribute if something missing , or if you want to provide a better tutorial , we have very active developer community with great leadership and team culture.

Very cool. I'll take a closer look this weekend and likely find a spot to add this on the main page.

If you have some questions you can ask us directly at our discord , community is very responsive and active.

I have started looking into litestar in earnest, and discussing it with @tataraba. We have both expressed interest in exploring it further and possibly blessing it as the "official" recommendation of PyHAT.

@v3ss0n feel free to submit a PR if you have inspiration on where it should go on the awesome page. Otherwise I will take a stab at it.
