@paulox I don't understand why it likes it so much on frontend 😅️ Making a Fetch in JavaScript is very easy and configurable.

@andros In reality, HTMX is more than just fetch in Javascript 😅
The project goal from its website:
> "htmx gives you access to 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"
https://htmx.org/
#htmx #javascript #ajax #css #websockets #sse #html #hypertext

@paulox Oh my God! It is an abstraction of 4 JavaScript APIs (Fetch, WebSockets, EventSource and CSS) that are declared in HTML. I see future and various configuration problems. 😮️

@andros I dispute the fact that the ones you mention are all JavaScript APIs, but I don't want to open this discussion here. I sincerely advise you to read the contents of the HTMX website and not limit yourself to this post. 💡

@paulox I listened to you and read the source code.

@andros well done. 👏
I understand that you are not yet convinced about HTMX, I don't think it is the solution for all use cases, but if you are interested in one in particular I recommend this video from DjangoCon Europe 2022 👇

@andros You're welcome. It would be interesting to know what you think when you watch it. 😃
