htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext
htmx is small (~14k min.gz’d), dependency-free, extendable, IE11 compatible & has reduced code base sizes by 67% when compared with react
<a>
& <form>
be able to make HTTP requests?click
& submit
events trigger them?GET
& POST
methods be available?By removing these constraints, htmx completes HTML as a hypertext
<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@1.9.12"></script>
<!-- have a button POST a click via AJAX -->
<button hx-post="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML">
Click Me
</button>
The hx-post
and hx-swap
attributes on
this button tell htmx:
“When a user clicks on this button, issue an AJAX request to /clicked, and replace the entire button with the HTML response”
htmx is the successor to intercooler.js
