This is absolutely the right approach for building web sites IMO. It's the best mix of whatever-server-you-want-to-use and minimal JS on the client.
I built my own (proprietary for my employer) general-purpose AJAX etc framework that uses minimal javascript to produce flexible, interactive web sites with 1/100 the bulk of React. It even degrades gracefully for clients that don't run JS. But I'm tired of maintaining it. HTMLX looks like an even better approach because it doesn't seem to require me to add explicit event handlers all over the place and it's open source so I won't be the sole maintainer.
Looking forward to evaluating HTMLX as a replacement for my stuff.
- codazoda 5y agohtmx (no L) is pretty great. Maybe I’m old school, but I’ve used it in my last two projects and it’s a breath of fresh air. My projects were Go and PHP. htmx didn’t care, worked the same in both. I also added it late in one of them, so it has a traditional MPA feel and then I tacked on htmx instead of writing a bunch of js. Anywayz, I’m loving htmx and I’m pretty sure it is making my development faster. I don’t know, yet, if it will degrade for larger applications.
- dreamcompiler 5y agoThanks for the correction. My brain seems to insist that "L" be the next letter I type after "HTM".
