htmx Has a Free Library — Build Dynamic UIs Without Writing JavaScript
Not Everything Needs React Your contact form does not need a 200KB JavaScript bundle. Your search-as-you-type does not need React Query. Your infinite scroll does not need a virtual DOM. htmx: HTML-Driven Interactivity htmx gives HTML superpowers. Any element can make HTTP requests. Any response can update any part of the page. No JavaScript required. Add htmx to Any Page <script src= "https://unpkg.com/htmx.org@2" ></script> 14KB. No build step. No npm install. One script tag. Click to Load <button hx-get= "/api/users" hx-target= "#user-list" > Load Users </button> <div id= "user-list" > <!-- Users appear here --> </div> Click the button → GET /api/users → server returns HTML → htmx swaps it into #user-list. Search as You Type <input type= "search" name= "q" hx-get= "/search" hx-trigger= "keyup changed delay:300ms" hx-target= "#results" > <div id= "results" ></div> Type → wait 300ms → GET /search?q=query → results appear. Zero JavaScript. Infinite Scroll <tr hx-get= "/contacts?page=2"
