Hard fork at `django-hstore-widget`

[baseplate-admin]

Hi, it seems that this project is not maintained any more, so i have a new fork at django-hstore-widget

PyPi link : django-hstore-widget

Improvements :

• Uses stencil.js
• Uses flexbox instead of float
• Simplified logic compared to django-admin-hstore-widget
• Uses emoji as fallback.
• No hard dependency on jQuery / underscore
• Reduced bundle size.
• Automated publishing using github actions.
• Dropped support for old browsers.
• Based on web-components

With all that being said, the project couldn't have existed without django-admin-hstore-widget, if you guys are willing, i can add back those improvements to this project.

Thanks a bunch

Hi @baseplate-admin,

nice! I love using web components. I prefer Lit to stencil, as it makes due without React, but for the end user it doesn't matter much.

Here are a couple of suggestions, that maybe help to slim down your code. I just rewrote another package of mine, and it might serve as some inspiration.

• You don't need a custom template You can set Widget.type to change the tag. You can set the attributes via the build_attr method.
• You could consider extending a native HTML input. That make's FormData collection easy, but rendering much harder. So it's hard to say which solution is better.
• You can actually serve ESM via Form.Media. It's supported in Django.

Here are some examples of my comments above: https://github.com/codingjoe/django-s3file/pull/311/files#diff-6d7b852c8b05df0ed5bad3f2e294d95c5e9800b05426a0648e6d1bc8f86b9486

Thank you for your efforts, best of luck! Joe
