HTMX — HTML On Steroids

HTML, JavaScript, Library, HyperScript

htmx - high power tools for html

HTMX silently extends the capabilities of HTML, breathing life into your static web pages and transforming them into dynamic applications. This unassuming JavaScript library facilitates “Locality of Behavior”, bringing behavioral control directly into your HTML. This leads to a cleaner code structure that’s also easier to maintain.

Consider this example of an HTML button. With just a sprinkle of HTMX, it becomes a dynamic element, capable of refreshing a section of the page without a full page load.

<button hx-get="/refresh" hx-target="#myDiv">Refresh!</button>

Real-Time Interaction

HTMX understands the importance of real-time interactions in the modern web world. It offers built-in support for WebSockets and server-sent events, enhancing the responsiveness of your applications. The example below showcases how you can use HTMX to send updates to a particular element in real-time.

<div hx-get="/updates" hx-trigger="sse:updatemessage" hx-sse="connect:/sseEndPoint">
<!-- Content here gets updated in real-time -->
</div>
