OK
For you not to waste your time,
Just a quick example
I have made
1. first insert the following htmx link in the Header.ftl in the theme you
are using
<script src="https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@2.0.3";></script>
2. Controller.xml
<!-- Request Mappings -->
<request-map uri="main">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="main"/>
</request-map>
<request-map uri="sayDate">
<security https="true" auth="true"/>
<event type="service" invoke="sayDate"/>
<response name="success" type="view" value="sayDate"></response>
</request-map>
<!-- View Mappings -->
<view-map name="main" type="screen"
page="component://ofbizFreemarker/widget/OfbizFreemarkerScreens.xml#main"/>
<view-map name="sayDate" type="ftl"
page="component://ofbizFreemarker/templates/say_date.ftl"/>
3. services.xml
<service name="noSyntaxError" engine="interface">
<description>
Dummy service to prevent empty files and syntax error - Remove
when the 1st real service will be added here
</description>
</service>
<service name="sayDate" engine="java"
location="org.apache.ofbiz.ofbizfreemarker.HtmxServices"
invoke="sayDate">
<attribute name="currentDate" type="String" mode="OUT" default-value=""/>
</service>
4. XXXScreens.xml
<screen name="main">
<section>
<actions>
<set field="headerItem" value="main"/><!-- this highlights
the selected menu-item with name "main" -->
</actions>
<widgets>
<decorator-screen name="OfbizFreemarkerCommonDecorator"
location="${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
<decorator-section name="body">
<platform-specific>
<html><html-template
location="component://ofbizFreemarker/templates/Main.ftl"/></html>
</platform-specific>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>
5. Main.ftl
<button hx-get="<@ofbizUrl>sayDate</@ofbizUrl>"
hx-target="#responseDiv" hx-swap="outerHTML">
Say Date
</button>
<div id="responseDiv">
</div>
6. say_date.ftl
<div id="responseDiv">
<h4>${requestAttributes.currentDate}</h4>
</div>
7. That's all.
