    Cheers for that – why can't I just use vanilla JS or jQuery in the 
    _
    attribute? Having to rely on Javascript event hooks – registered on a separate 
    script
    -block – not only increases the complexity htmx is trying to avoid, but also makes it hard to differentiate which element triggered said hook & to then choose a code block to traverse through.

    you can use alpine.js for exactly that: https://github.com/alpinejs/alpine and many people do 🙂

    Thanks! That was a very in depth and useful article. Definitely learned some new tips.

    Glad it was helpful 👍

    Hello amazing people. How do I diect to relative links? 
    _="on click go to /my_link"
    gives me an error
  • m
    hi ben, what's the error?
  • m
    that should work

    I think htmx is great if you want to build boring applications like ERP Systems (SAP, Workday). .. Do you think htmx makes sense to create a (collaborative) Jamboard clone?
  • b
    Haha, I've built many exciting apps using htmx, it just takes some creativity!
  • b
    In saying that, if you're going all out on an SPA then in some cases React/Vue may give you the absolute control you need. I guess it comes down to whether you want a front-end or back-end driven app.
  • s
    On my mind is currently an application like jamboard (google) maybe based on excalidraw. I think for a drawing-app a front-end driven app makes more sense. At least if the internet connectivity is not perfect. Then it is more fluent, if the application just writes asynchronously to the server.
  • b
    I'm unfamiliar with Jamboard but have used Excalidraw (great app). Seems like that would be very front-end heavy. I still imagine that htmx could handle it, but I probably wouldn't recommend it as the best tool for the job.
  • m
    agree: Something like jamboard is outside the wheelhouse for htmx. I would use vue or similar for something like that.
  • m
    however... for the settings page in a jamboard clone, I might use htmx to keep complexity focused on the area where it adds the most value

    go to url /reset_password
    should work
  • m
  • m
    (the example is wrong, sorry about that!)
  • f
    ok thanks!
  • m
    I will look at the grammar more and see if we can make 
    go to /reset_password
    work, seems like you should be able to do that
  • f
    maybe - but having url makes sense too now that I know it is needed. Thanks for prompt help

    FYI - here is a quick and dirty post I made for using HTMX inside your Django Admin Pages. https://www.simplecto.com/htmx-and-the-list_editable-in-django-admin/

    Quick Q: I'm a Java dev looking at htmx, doing some experiments. Noticed that the webjars version is on 1.3.2, release is 1.3.3 (tho looks like that only just came out). Should I just use 1.3.2 or...?
  • m
    shouldn't matter much
  • c
    For Django users, what are you adding — if anything — for security? Is there a best-of list anywhere? Eg: - Where/when are you placing {% csrf_token %} - Are you validating headers Etc 🙂
  • g
    Not using Django but I made an extension that helps manage Authorization headers automatically. I believe that alleviates the need for a CSRF token. I don’t know if that would be helpful to you, but you’re welcome to use it as a starting point.

    @User
    Copy code
    <div hx-target="this" hx-swap="innerHTML">
<span hx-get="...">Click To Edit</span>
</div>
    Isn't it the same as
    Copy code
    <div>
<span hx-get="..." hx-swap="outerHTML">Click To Edit</span>
</div>
    If "yes", then you could avoid some characters.

    --- I wanted to compare htmx to hotwire via github-star-trend. But which repo should I use for hotwire? https://star-history.t9t.io/
