Hello,
I recently came across htmx (and _hyperscript).
I am currently evaluating it - no real experience yet.
What I tested so far has impressed me.
I think htmx can bring a lot of value to a project like OFBiz .
It can provide a way to have a dynamic pages - that load fast and a good
upgrade path:
* You still get to have pages rendered on server
* You add attributes to markup and these call in a service
* The service will reply with the bits of HTML that will replace an
element in the page.
What I like about it is:
* Very small footprint (10k gzipped JS)
* Works with "normal" http
* Simple to reason about
* Content is generated on the back-end - so under all security rules
* Easy (IMO) to adopt to OFBiz UI - progressive enhancement
I do have some mixed feelings about _hyperscript - but that is optional.
I will try it though in a personal project and see how it goes.
Please try it out: https://htmx.org/ .

javascript fatigue:
longing for a hypertext
