I've started some work on partial rendering/Ajax functionality for my ng-objects project. Since I want some template-level compatibility between WO and NG, my current plan involves eventually backporting some of the (plain JS) client side stuff to WO, at least for some baseline functionality/elements (like update containers, update links, update triggers, submit buttons and observefields).
I've considered using htmx (which I love the concept of, and it would be nice to use a known, popular framework). But ng-objects supports updating multiple update containers in a single request (i.e. you can target multiple named UCs and the server will then generate a multipart response with a part for each targeted container) and htmx currently can't handle that. My own proof-of-concept works nicely, although it's primitive and in progress (much like my current client side skills in general). https://github.com/ngobjects/ng-objects/blob/87443b590c0943c95d491ede79fb77893ed222e1/ng-appserver/src/main/resources/ng/ng/webserver-resources/ng-js.js#L24-L48 But apart from ng — I actually think HTMX would be a great fit for an updated/simplified Ajax-framework on the WO side (where the multipart-stuff isn't required/supported).
