htmx allows you to access 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 (~10k min.gz'd), dependency-free, extendable & IE11 compatible
<a>
and <form>
be able to make HTTP requests?click
& submit
events trigger them?By removing these arbitrary constraints htmx completes HTML as a hypertext
<!-- Load from unpkg -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@1.6.0"></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 tell htmx:
"When a user clicks on this button, issue an AJAX request to /clicked, and replace the entire button with the response"
htmx is the successor to intercooler.js

javascript fatigue:
longing for a hypertext
already in hand
