Htmx: Access modern browser features directly from HTML

https://htmx.org/

I've been writing a ton of ts/js at work, so using htmx for a quick weekend project was a nice change of pace.

I really appreciated the library of examples; they cover a lot of common use cases. Between that and the docs I had no trouble figuring out how things worked.

I still have no idea what benefits having your API serve markup is supposed to confer, but people tell me it's "great".

also, I find your headline misleading. htmx uses javascript, there's no accessing anything "directly from html". you could say that about any framework with directives, ie vue, but we all know better.

andersmurphy•1h ago
It's really good for streaming view updates to your users in realtime.
blinkbat•59m ago
you mean via SSE? is any part of that an inherent "htmx only" thing, or even a "markup API only" thing?

a framework using a neat piece of technology isn't really a boon for the framework -- the technology of streaming itself is great, sure, but you can do that with any stack.

andersmurphy•13m ago
Sure, but the browser is fast and rendering HTML so why stream anything else? Why stream javascript + json to build html. You're adding a bunch of marshalling that doesn't need to be there.

I do really appreciate that HTMX has a curated list of criticisms on their blog: https://htmx.org/essays/#on-the-other-hand
