Button should not have any behavior, it should generate an event. Your app can have one or multiple listeners for this event. This pattern is battle-tested for decades.

OK, but the response to that event should be localized to the button. https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/ https://htmx.org/essays/locality-of-behaviour/

  Of course :) Have you tried to find something before asking? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_programming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_programming https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget...

    1.) Don't be a jackass. 2.) I know what reactive programming is, I make extensive use of RxJS at work. And I obviously know what an event listener is. I was asking why is it wrong to have the button have functionality and only emit events. And I did google that, but nothing from your comment you posted that I googled lead to anything about reactive programming.

      1) You started it :) Your sarcastic tone was ridiculously obvious :) I gave you the links - where is your gratitude? You’ve only brought your sarcasm here. 2) Oh, RxJS is synonymous with reactive programming for you? Lol, keep learning :)
