    hyperscript is an experimental front end language intended for glue code between elements and events, but isn't ootb going to have two way bindings. The overarching philosophy of the projects is that hypertext should be the engine of application state as much as possible.
  • m
    implementing a binding layer is pretty darned tempting, but I don't anticipate hyperscript ever being a good replacement for vue or whatever, rather just a way to sprinkle in some front end logic where a server round trip would be annoying
  • m
    speaking of which:
  • m
    the jigger there is because I implemented it linearly and the transition command blocks right now
  • m
    i need to make the async keyword work at the command level
  • m
    alternatively you could write it like this:
  • m
    and you wouldn't get that "stuck" situation
  • m
    i think making transitions synchronous is the right thing since you can always use async (once I add it heh) and often you want to do a transition, let it complete and then do something else
  • u
    honestly i actually find grammar like this 'on mouseenter transition opacity from 1 to 0.5' is hard to memorize, it will take a while to settle in the brain for me at least
  • m
    yep
  • m
    it is very distinctive
  • m
    and it is read-oriented rather than write oriented
  • m
    but there were a lot of people who loved hypertalk, and the fact that it is so distinct has some benefits: it's easy to pick out vs. javascript or any other language you are using
  • m
    and there shouldn't be a ton of hyperscript in any project, it should be used mainly for glue code
  • m
    also, I find it hilarious
  • a
    I for one find it absolutely awesome to, in near grammatically correct English, declaratively specify behavior in this manner. Yes, it flies in the face of pretty much everything else out there, where the norm seems to be to try and out-cryptic each other. Yea, it’s damn funny, right up to the point where you realize that you just stripped out a metric crapton of spaghetti Javascript, in favour of a few choice attributes. Then it’s no longer funny, it’s just satisfying and awesome 💪

    Just out of curiosity, do any of you have experience in using HTMX with WordPress in a project? (I plan on doing just that in the near future)

    🤚🏼

    Using it on a client site with Yoyo, which I developed https://github.com/clickfwd/yoyo-cms
  • m
    I am in the process of re-writing the whole YoyoCMS plugin because even though it works and it's very easy to get started, I also don't like what I did with it. Made it too complex code-wise.
  • m
    I can DM you the site link if you want to see it
  • g
    @User have you thought about the button disabling thing at all since the other day? i'm curious what your thoughts are, i could contribute to it possibly this week
  • m
    i haven't thought too much about it, is there a github issue for it?
  • m
    Not a hard feature to implement
  • m
    just need to figure out where it would live. Maybe start as an extension?
  • g
    i haven't opened an issue for it, I can if that'd be helpful
  • m
    yes please, my brain is absolute cinders from getting async control flow working correctly in hyperscript
  • g
  • m
    if this works I'm going to lose my shit
  • g
    haha why
