HTMX is a powerful tool that allows developers to access modern browser features directly from HTML, rather than using JavaScript. It seamlessly integrates AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events into your projects. The objective is to bridge the gap between traditional server-rendered and single-page applications by enabling dynamic updates to HTML content on the client side without extensive JavaScript coding.

How to use this tool?

Htmx is a dependency-free, browser-oriented JavaScript library which means that you can use it with the <script> tag.

Example

  • Using a CDN link:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@1.9.3" 
integrity="sha384-lVb3Rd/Ca0AxaoZg5sACe8FJKF0tnUgR2Kd7ehUOG5GCcROv5uBIZsOqovBAcWua"
crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
  • Using a copy of the minified js file in your project
<script src="/path/to/htmx.min.js"></script>
  • Install using npm
npm install htmx.org
  • Using Webpack

Install using npm or yarn then add the import to your js file.

import 'htmx.org';
