Building Progressively Enhanced Forms with htmx
Building progressively enhanced forms using Htmx
Rafa shares his approach to building a bookmark editing form for ties.pub using progressive enhancement. He starts with a no-JS version, then layers htmx for interactivity like live search. The post covers managing transient state with form values and query parameters, detecting which button was pressed, and the importance of scoping htmx swaps. He also recommends resources for learning more about server-rendered HTML and htmx.
It usually surprises me how little htmx is really needed when I follow this approach.
