HTMX

What is HTMX?

HTMX (HyperText Markup eXtension) is a JavaScript library that allows you to create dynamic, interactive web pages without requiring a full page reload. It's a lightweight, progressive enhancement to HTML that enables you to build fast, responsive, and scalable web applications.

Key Features:

  • AJAX-like behavior: HTMX allows you to update parts of a web page without reloading the entire page.
  • Declarative syntax: You define what should happen when a user interacts with your page, and HTMX takes care of the details.
  • Seamless integration: HTMX works with existing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code, making it easy to integrate into your existing projects.

Let's create a simple example that demonstrates HTMX in action. We'll build a page that updates a counter when you click a button.

HTML:

<!-- index.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTMX Example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTMX Counter</h1>
    <p id="counter">Count: 0</p>
    <button hx-get="/increment" hx-target="#counter">Increment</button>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/htmx.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>        

Server-side Code (e.g., Node.js):

// server.js
const express = require('express');
const app = express();

app.get('/increment', (req, res) => {
  const count = parseInt(req.query.count || 0) + 1;
  res.send(`Count: ${count}`);
});

app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server started on port 3000'));        

How it works:

  1. When you click the "Increment" button, HTMX sends a GET request to /increment with the current count as a query parameter.
  2. The server-side code increments the count and returns the updated value as a response.
  3. HTMX updates the #counter element with the new value, without reloading the entire page.
