    We've been locked down since March. Mask mandates on and off, but my family has basically stayed separated ever since.

    @User If it's of any help, I have a modal example here https://app.getyoyo.dev/#list-with-modal-component But I am also using AlpineJS with it, although mostly for effects. To trap the focus, and finally to close it using a server triggered event.
  • h
    i went through your magic work 🙂 great job. i was checking also your source-code. really! wenn done
  • h
    i have this mission: 1. user clicks on a modal, it opens. 2. this modal, show him some information (without any requests to any url so far!), 3. and now (or after point 1.) htmx should start to poll (for an external URL).
  • h
    i can solve it in this way. thanks for that!! i am just wondering, is there a way to avoid this one request (getting the modal-html external).i think its a better user experience (avoiding this minimal delay) . but maybe i am wrong, and it makes no difference at all. i will test it soon with my backend (django/python)
  • g
    The difference with or without the modal boilerplate is minimal.
  • h
    which backend do you use, guys?
  • g
    It might make a difference if you’re starting to animate the modal before the inner content is already loaded, but it should not be a big factor.

    I’m building a custom Go server.
  • h
    nice. i read a lot of good stuff about go, and its easy and smart way to get things done. or why did you end up with this underdog Go? 🙂
  • m
    To trigger the polling after the modal opens then maybe you shouldn't "hook" it to the button. Instead you can add another element with a custom event name ("poll" instead of "click") and trigger that event after the modal opens.
  • m
    Actually, you are using bootstrap modals, right? There's a 
    shown.bs.modal
    event that's triggered on the modal. So you could maybe do hx-trigger="shown.bs.modal" on the modal itself
  • g
    I wanted a simple, clean language for building app servers that I didn’t need to babysit. It’s been amazing for the last five years or so of projects.

    Also, the bootstrap modal requires its own JavaScript to do the in/out animations. It’s not really all that sophisticated, and can be easily replicated with JavaScript/Hyperscript. That simplifies your site and means one less resource to load.
  • h
    fantastic!!!! thank you a lot !
  • e
    Should I open a bug report?

    Today I told a friend about htmx and we looked at this page: https://htmx.org/ He develops since several years, so he is not a newcomer. But one thing he did no realize while reading the text of the start page: htmx transfers html-snippets. Maybe it would make sense to add this sentence: htmx keeps your software stack simple: You send SEO friendly HTML over the wire. You don't need React or Vue to build modern applications.

    tfw all static sites are an antipattern

    So, it's nice to have market validation... it seems that Turbo can use WebSockets to avoid the HTTP overhead.
  • g
    I’m all for smaller and faster, but how much overhead is there with an HTTP request, anyway?
  • l
    I think it's significant, for small changes, the headers can easily be a multiple of the content. Remember, cookies and all sorts of things come along for the ride.
  • l
    We'll have to benchmark 😉
  • l
    With pure HTTP, the server-side is easy; once you go websocks, you need to decide on a protocol, ie, WebPack or what ever.

    Don't forget SSE. 🙂
