You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this; Fore!, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip To Be Square". A song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It's also a personal statement about the band itself.

HTMX is very popular among Django developper, I tried it with Alpine and it is ok for light animation and dom manipulation, but quickly get out of hand.
Yes. It is because it's one of the single viable ways to have dynamic front-end without creating an API and a second project. However, there is no tooling and the global DX is meh. If Django team decided to include such a framework natively, it could be way better.
@@darkbluewalther there is django-htmx that helps. I also think it is a lot more useful than simply for having a more dynamic front-end. You can use it for cross project integration. Meaning, Project A can request an app(htmx view) from a completely different project and inject it into the other. To me, it seems like a great replacement for REST APIs.
Lol, just came to know it because of a meme, my curiosity arouse, and found this video, really liked how it looks, I'm also a Django developer and was thinking that it would be good for a small project in working on in which I don't want to implement a REST API and divide front and back, I've been avoiding Ajax calls for the moment and this looks perfect for maintaining the code clean.

Finally HTMX deserved its own video, it has been gone unnoticed because of the react hype train. But now justice has been made for HTMX. I hope it becomes more popular over the years and it combines PERFECTLY with django, RoR and Go.
Did a school project with this. Because we had to use an awful C# framework for web development, this library was a godsend. Works really well for small things
Well My college teachers didn't even knew React and Svelte 4years back when i graduated. Even if they did , they didn't expose us students to new technologies and WHAT REALLY is going on in the market. my college years were terrible and I extremely regret attending that college... to this day I don't have a job and low confidence in myself, that i couldn't do shiet
it is my 3rd semester in college, we only just learnt about Java. I am planning to take a leave of absence to teach myself node and react ( I already taught myself HTML css and JavaScript ) Yes college is a waste of time and money
My company just deployed an htmx-powered search engine on our website, and while I didn't work on it myself, I heard lots of praise from those who did. It's not all perfect, but it's way nicer to work with than traditional frameworks.
much cleaner code than using some js frameworks, I already use it in combination with alpine js and I really appreciate it, I didn't have to use some messy JS framework
Back in the day, I think Drupal used a system sort of like this. But I think they called it "behaviors." Basically, it would parse the DOM, attach event listeners for the "behavior" (attributes) it saw, and then do stuff like make a request, swap out elements, append elements, etc... And you could make custom "behaviors". I worked with an engineer who also worked with Drupal and he basically integrated the same system into a custom app we were building. It got the job done.
Yii had a similar feature too. By declaring a special mode a template will use AJAX requests to the backend controller that originally rendered it. Pagination, form validation and processing, this cute javascript magic under the hood allowed to never be bothered with frontend programming
Looks cool "next" and "closest" look like great ways to spaghettifi the code though Gotta love how the great programming cycle is coming full circle once again.
This will be magic for me, looks like a nice tech; will try it for sure but from the get-go I think that it could be better (at least for me) if I had to return Json from my backend server instead of Htmx
Wow, this rules. Being able to make cool websites without having to take a huge dive into JS + jQuery + insert-whatever-number-of-frameworks-here just to make it feel relatively modern is a godsend.
As a hobbyist that would probably never use it by myself, I appreciate to know this exists and has a concise syntax so I can ask an LLM to spit some out if ever needed
This is extremely powerful when you think about it, with the potential to upset the entire js framework tech stack that has dominated modern frontends for the past ten years.
There are quadrillion server template rendering languages, all are terrible in various ways and there will be more (and at least as terrible). What full circle are you talking about?
@@generalezaknenou He implemented the 'hi mom' instead of 'hello world' to greet his mother who, despite not knowing anything about the topic, watched all his videos. But sadly she passed away.
@@iatheman what do you mean? I'm not sure how, maybe due to evaluating the code from a string. It's about 2 times slower than competition, and uses 3 times more memory.
This reminds me of Microsoft's jQuery libraries jquery-unobtrusive-ajax and jquery-unobtrusive-validation which worked in a similar way with HTML5 data attributes.
i like the idea, but i definitely prefer the abstractions we've made that evolved the ecosystem (react, vue, svelte, etc). this might be nice for simple stuff but a full-stack app? probably not.
I think HTMX in more advanced form would be revolutionary, since most projects don't have a huge code base for frontend and can be hence easily made dynamic by backend developers without using unnecessary frameworks.
I can imagine a large very complex UI with absolute no state. Just swaped html content from requests, while the server handles absolute all state. That would be sweet.

@@iatheman what do you mean? I'm not sure how, maybe due to evaluating the code from a string. It's about 2 times slower than competition, and uses 3 times more memory.
This reminds me of Microsoft's jQuery libraries jquery-unobtrusive-ajax and jquery-unobtrusive-validation which worked in a similar way with HTML5 data attributes.
Wow, I'm glad to see someone else remember them! HTMX is ideal for cases like this.

Thanks. I'll put this on the list of other frontend frameworks I have to learn thanks to this channel.

But Simple HTML application doesn't impress enterprise customers. So we'll be throwing 10 MB hello world SPA application on them
This is awesome. Fireship, you are awesome and quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!
this is exactly what I needed in web development
Lucas Montano, mandou um abraço;
HTMX scares me, not because of how it works, but because of the sudden influx of HTMX meta frameworks that I can see on the horizon.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T USE HTMETA-OMEGA the best end to end framework ever made it's so simple??!?
Wooo i guess I'm doing the frontend of my project with this instead of learning react. Thank you
So we are back to JSF then?
i like the idea, but i definitely prefer the abstractions we've made that evolved the ecosystem (react, vue, svelte, etc). this might be nice for simple stuff but a full-stack app? probably not.
I love it, ideal for low proccesing sites. Take my money.
after watching this video,
our HR manager is now looking for a developer with 10+yrs of experience in HTMX
Htmx is one of the html ever
Montano, no strike please!

HTMX is fantastic. Their docs could be a bit more detailed.
Stop creating more frameworks, we are tired.
did you check their latest book?
@@GirishVenkatachalam I got better at JS and just started using using the fetch API instead.
@@MrDelliSanti fetch api is well supported.
I think HTMX in more advanced form would be revolutionary, since most projects don't have a huge code base for frontend and can be hence easily made dynamic by backend developers without using unnecessary frameworks.
first impressions, i love it just by reading the name it self, HTMX, looks cool.
Montano, no strike please
Montano has send me!
lucas montano ,no strike pleas
Been waiting for this.
I can imagine a large very complex UI with absolute no state. Just swaped html content from requests, while the server handles absolute all state. That would be sweet.
montano, no strike please
Another great video, definitely watched it till the end before writing this comment
For making good apps that do the stuff you need them to do, this is a great tool. Back to the old server side rendering + a bit of sparkles.
