I love the concept behind htmx & started reading the book today. But every time I think about using it, I remember that I'll eventually have to support native mobile apps as well and I'll be completely re-writing not only my frontend but much of my backend to do it. I know about hyperview.org but a react-native app won't really cut it for the use cases I'm interested in.
keep your domain logic out of your controllers
hey there, I'm the creator of htmx, and I really appreciate you making this! very cool!
Thankyou for the awesome library! I have a question. Is there a way to use HTMX with minimal server side changes. Specifically if I have an existing page that you fill in a form and submit and response is of course the entire page. I think it would be cool to tell htmx that the whole page is being returned BUT I only want to update #my-form and that way you don’t need any “if htmx request” kinda stuff on the server.…
That'll return whatever partial thing you want to return and replace (with 1sec effect).

If you have time, I have a question I haven't been able to answer reading the docs or skimming the linked book. My company's front end apps communicate exclusively with a GraphQL orchestration layer. I tried a while back to learn HTMX by building a demo remake of one of our apps, and I actually couldn't figure out how to make those requests. Am I missing something, or is this just a bad use case for HTMX?
sounds like a bad use case for htmx, if your server isn't returning hypermedia you are making your life pretty difficult doable, but not fun

This is cool though. Good job!
I was seriously thinking about using HTMX myself, but I'm kinda scared it's developer pool seems too small to hire devs from. I'm used to proprietary frameworks, in my case I worked with intershop which uses isml. (this is comparible to something like thymeleaf). In recent years we tried to move away from this approach and go to the angular front end Stack because it's easier to hire a dedicated frontend developer th…

How to counter it. HTMX takes no more than half a day to pick up, probably quicker than that. Keep in mind HTMX does not solve all scenarios, there are times when a SPA using a JS framework is required.
I do agree there are times that a traditional front end lib might be needed but it is much rarer than we think.
