SPA is Single Page Application. htmx is capable of SPA as well. What we must remember is that htmx is a javascript library. Its just htmx provides an extension to html attributes. This does not mean we cannot add Javascript to solve problems... its just htmx eliminates the need of writing hundreds (or thousands) of javascript code to get things done. I do not claim htmx to be the one-and-only solution to building web applications but it has DRASTICALLY cut many hours away from adding new features (and bug fixes) to our relatively complicated company portal. We no longer have to write backend AND frontend code. Previously our website were using frontend libraries. Why? Because we are told this is how your are SUPPOSE to make them, now. However, when you are a small team without dedicated frontend developers (ie React devs, etc) you have to allows extra time to replicate/duplicate code on the frontend as well. Yes, there have been trial-and-error issues with htmx where we had to stop and think how we would solve certain things. For the most part, it is accepting the "htmx way" of doing it and are now comftable with it. Its not perfect but we make it work well. Point is - very little is done on the client side. It is easy to see whats going on, and which Views or Partial Views to amend, etc, on the serverside. I would even argue that if we hired a "front end" developer they would fit into our environment relatively easy, knowing where the HTML code is, how to test it, alongside CSS styling and, if needed, to write additional javascript. The only ones that wont are dedicated JS framework guys who refuse to see or understand our decision process. This is fine, of course. If they do not like our methods then they can reject the 2nd Interview process. I want to repeat - I do not claim htmx solves all website issues. Its just the websites I am involved with, htmx has been a great choice moving forward, and they are a combination of simple to complicated websites.
