    Really, the hardest part is generating the html from the server in such a way that it is resilient and reusable. That's why I think using htmx and similar tools with a really well designed Web Components library and building in better server side integrations is going to be a game changer going forward.
  • g
    Yes. I’m still on the lookout for a high quality, open source web component library. Maybe in 2025...
  • r
    Maybe sooner than that. 😉
  • g
    Yes, I was planning on generating events when it receives something, but it seems like hx-trigger is only built for issuing ajax requests, as far as I understand the source code at least.
  • g
    Yeah, I didn’t really dig in very far, but what you’re saying sounds right.

    @glamorous-honey-42686 — I’m going to try to make a list of use cases / proposals for extensions soon, and I’ll make sure to include this in my list. I’m hoping I can get it up as a GitHub issue in the next week or so. Let’s lobby for the features that would make this possible as an extension.
  • g
    so I was doodling while listening to the devmode episode and
  • g
    my hero!
  • m
    That's incredible
  • m
    Would you be OK if I tweeted that out?
  • g
    I'd be delighted!
  • m
    Do you have a twitter handle I can credit?

    Very cool, thank you for sharing this!
  • g
    Thanks!

    the ease of creating your own extension inline is very handy. Though, can we add a "transformRequest" callback to the extension framework? This would be the dual to "transformResponse". By having both, we can write drivers to interface to non-htmx friendly backends (eg: postgrest, legacy, so-on)
  • m
    @User excellent idea, can you create a github request?
  • m
    I want to maximize the flexibility and easy of creating an extension so I can keep the core small, so I'm very interestedin extending that mechanism

    Is there any way I can get a SSE event to trigger hyperscript?
  • f
    I'd like to do this sort of thing:
    Copy code
    html.div(data_script = 'on sse:myeventname call alert("SSE!")')
  • f
    (Sorry for the weird html-but-it's Python syntax)

    I'm still loving HTMX & dominate ... as it's letting me compose my UI components The Way God Intended: With function calls:-
  • f
    Copy code
    def live_page(title, id_topic, list_id_resource_toplevel, **kwargs):
    """
    Return a 'live' page.

    The page subscribes to the specified
    SSE EventSource (id_topic).

    Events received from id_topic are
    used to trigger updates to the
    corresponding 'live_view' nested
    element, enabling 'server-push'
    style updates.

    """
    doc = html_boilerplate(title = title)
    with doc:
        with subscription(id_topic = id_topic, **kwargs):
            live_view(list_id_resource = list_id_resource_toplevel)
    return doc
  • f
    (And, orthogonally, The Way The Other God Intended: With distributed components and dataflow).
  • m
    Unfortunately sse events don't trigger the normal manner, so hyperscript won't see them, but we should pass the events on w/ an htmx prefix so you can use hyperscript w/ it
  • f
    Hmmm ... a thought just occurred to me ... would HTMX work with SVG as well as HTML, I wonder.... got to be worth an experiment, at least.
  • g
    Hey @User, SSE seemed like a real mystery to me when I first started looking into it, but setting up a connection is a tiny bit of code. It should be really easy to make your own SSE connection outside of htmx, then trigger browser events when you receive messages. htmx and hyperscript can both respond to those browser events if you like.
