htmx

Core Concepts

• Core attributes: hx-get, hx-post, hx-put, hx-delete, hx-patch for AJAX
• Triggers: hx-trigger (click, change, load, reveal, intersect, every)
• Target swapping: hx-target, hx-swap (innerHTML, outerHTML, beforebegin, afterend)
• Indicators: hx-indicator and hx-request for loading states
• History: hx-push-url and hx-replace-url for URL management

Common Patterns

• Infinite scroll with hx-trigger="revealed" on last list item
• Form submission with hx-post and hx-target for inline validation
• Lazy loading with hx-trigger="load" for below-fold content
• Polling with hx-trigger="every 5s" for live data updates
• Delete button with hx-delete and hx-confirm for confirmation

Best Practices

• Return HTML fragments from server, never JSON for HTMX routes
• Use hx-swap-oob for updating multiple parts of page at once
• Combine with Alpine.js for complex client-side interactions
• Set HX-Request header detection on server for partial vs full responses
• Use hx-boost for converting all links/forms to AJAX

Common Code Patterns

• Search input with hx-get, hx-trigger="keyup delay:300ms", hx-target="#results"
• Todo list with hx-post form, hx-target="#todo-list", hx-swap="beforeend"
• Modal with hx-get loading content and hx-swap="innerHTML" on dialog
