Why Learn HTMX?? | Prime Reacts

FireShip just dropped 100 seconds of HTMX and now this. Are we all finally done with JS?

Is this HTMX in 1000 seconds ?

As a backend developer, this gives me enough interactivity that I can create usable HTML pages. I needed a UI for a backend and was dreading trying to figure out how to tap into the React ecosystem. HTMX paired with a bit of Hyperscript, has enabled me to go further. If you're on the fence, check it out!

I sense this is a coordinated release with fireship!

That ramble about how to get a job and transition into the role you want should be posted as a stand alone shorts (it's at around 16:00) it's so good

I build many applications using this pattern from 97 to 05 on internet explorer 4 before AJAX was a thing. simply by avoiding the full page reload by requesting new html to put in any container on the page. It was a much simpler way to build applications and the technological limitations kept feature creep in check. nice to see the pendulum goes full circle 25 years later.

HTMX FE with Bootstrap for the UI and a Go BE is gonna be my go to stack for simple stuff for a while 😂

Just want to mention Unpoly to me feels like a more mature version of HTMX. Definitely worth checking out!

I've been using htmx/alpine/astro combo and it's great, very simple mental model and allows for some advanced patterns that other frameworks still can't do.

This is the most "junior" theprimeagen I've ever seen and I really appreciate that. I think he is approaching a subject in which he does not have a lot of experience in a profesional way

React: Ship more js! Next: Ship less js! HTMX: Ship no js! Whats next? Yew in production?

JSON is not the best option in a lot of cases, but you'd be shocked just how fast most implementations are, and depending on context it can be smaller than a straightforward binary, eg where you're doing a lot of optional fields and normally but not always small numbers. I wouldn't expect it to be used over UDP, since if you're putting the work in to get that working then manually parsing the data is probably simpler, but i wouldn't expect a huge difference either way.

I liked this approach!!! We see a lot of "simple" pages with heavy JS libs, htmx is a great option.

00:56 actually old scenexe did use json, there was sometimes more than 10 seconds input delay (ping)

I was curious about React, but I had to get off that project after several months of pain. React on a simple web form probably wouldn't be so bad, but this project was creating an feature rich GUI editor that had to over up some specialized content/layout widgets. I feel like you really know what the hell you're doing when your working with React. The project also uses Redux, so you have to understand how to interact with that. I've been somewhat tempted to study alternatives, but I'm retiring soon and it not worth my time really get too much in the weeds with that and get my hands dirty. But, sometimes somethings sounds good until you start to try and use it. I've not heard of HTMX and I'm curious.

It would be really powerful if it can somehow support json. With jquery i made my own event delegations, for a select element that automatically retrieves its elements from the server. But it uses a map function defined as a global, a small javascript, but it could be ommited if the data from the server comes with the right format. Maybe adding attributes like "data-json-prop" to add to the inner text or edit a value, would be enough? Im not sure, ill try to make my own implementation of a generic post request but with json. Json is really useful for table information, last time i tried to generate an entire table, it lagged so much with html from the server.

Is htmx a good choice for an app that edits a db table? That app displays a db table in a html table where each row can be edited or deleted. I think if we use htmx, then the server will needs to talk to the browser in htmx (not html), right?

I was wondering, where do you gather articles from? medium? edit: I saw you road some from reddit and personal blogs, but I mean in general, How do you find them?

Great article and video ... only problem I had with it was the Hypermedia vs xxxxx, when really HTMX can be used with other techniques as well.

Our UI is cruddy, does that count as a good fit for HTMX?
