GitHub – bigskysoftware/htmx: > htmx

By removing these arbitrary constraints htmx completes HTML as a
hypertext

  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/htmx.org@2.0.8/dist/htmx.min.js">script>
  
  <button hx-post="/clicked" hx-swap="outerHTML">
    Click Me
  button>

The hx-post and hx-swap attributes tell htmx:

“When a user clicks on this button, issue an AJAX request to /clicked, and replace the entire button with the response”

htmx is the successor to intercooler.js

To install using npm:

npm install htmx.org --save

Note there is an old broken package called htmx. This is htmx.org.

To develop htmx locally, you will need to install the development dependencies.

Run:

Then, run a web server in the root.

This is easiest with:

You can then run the test suite by navigating to:

http://0.0.0.0:3000/test/

At this point you can modify /src/htmx.js to add features, and then add tests in the appropriate area under /test.

• /test/index.html – the root test page from which all other tests are included
• /test/attributes – attribute specific tests
• /test/core – core functionality tests
• /test/core/regressions.js – regression tests
• /test/ext – extension tests
• /test/manual – manual tests that cannot be automated

htmx uses the mocha testing framework, the chai assertion framework
and sinon to mock out AJAX requests. They are all OK.
