Creating a To-do app with HTMX and Django, part 8: inline edit, and using Iconify
As usual, there are a few possibilities here; one is to render both the with the title, and a form with for each row, and use plain Javascript (or AlpineJS) to toggle edit mode.

Supercharge your HTML with mizu.js!
That's why I grew fond of libraries such as Alpine.js and htmx, which require no setup and are easy to use. However, I felt these had some limitations. Since they were mostly designed for client-side usage, it wasn't really possible to use them in server-side rendering contexts (including static generation).

🔥I have launched a project and think it help you, maybe :)
In fact, it is really good as an alternative to modules like htmx and alpine.js, because it allows you to create dynamic interfaces with a minimum set of configurable parameters, as well as the size of the output files. This is achieved by working with the server, when we prepare the UI there, and we only transfer it to the client via API.

🍣 Sushi — Your Eloquent model driver for other data sources
It is created by Caleb Porzio (the guy behind Livewire and AlpineJS), Sushi simplifies your data when a full database table is unnecessary.

VidSnap: Effortless Screen Recording powered by Pinata
The web app was made using AlpineJS for interactivity, TailwindCSS for styling, Clerk for user authentication, and Vercel for deployments. This stack allowed me to quickly build and deploy an MVP within 24 hours.

Personal Finance Management App with Django, HTMX, Alpine, Tailwind and Plaid
Alpine.js is another lightweight JavaScript framework used to add interactivity. It plays nicely with Django’s template structure and provides quick, declarative behavior for things like modals, dropdowns, or toggles. In combination with HTMX, Alpine can give you just enough JavaScript to enhance the UX without having to deal with something like React or Vue. For instance, you can use Alpine to manage state in the frontend, like opening and closing modals or handling client-side validation.

React on the server is not PHP
That’s a mostly solved problem. If you’re in the Laravel ecosystem:
https://livewire.laravel.com/
https://alpinejs.dev/
AlpineJS is for your menus and simple client-side interactivity. Livewire lets you render templates server-side while handling routing, interactivity, updates, morphing, everything you need all in one.
Combine the two, you’ll be counting the lines of JavaScript you right in the dozens, on one hand.

Augmenting the client with Alpine.js
This post is part of a series comparing different ways to implement asynchronous requests on the client, which is colloquially known as AJAX. I dedicated the previous post to Vue.js; I'll dedicate this one to Alpine.js - not to be confused with Alpine Linux.

A short history of AJAX and SSR
We must recognize the benefits that client-side rendering offers, but perhaps the pendulum has swung too far. Is it possible to have the best of both worlds? In some corners of the industry, cooler heads have prevailed, and the term SSR has been coined to describe a return to what we've been doing for ages—albeit with some modern enhancements. The idea is to leverage AJAX, JavaScript, and browser improvements without the unnecessary bloat. While many tools are available, I frequently hear about Vue. js and HTMX. A recent search also led me to Alpine.js. And I've long been a proponent of Vaadin.

The Best UI Libraries for Cross-Platform Apps with Tauri
SolidJS and Tauri form another potent combination for creating performant, lightweight, and secure experiences. SolidJS is a reactive UI library that is similar to Svelte in the way it compiles away reactivity and updates the DOM directly, but it also incorporates a fine-grained reactivity system reminiscent of libraries like Marko, Knockout, and MobX.

Why are signals still not so popular?
People act like Signals are a new discovery. KnockoutJS was using them 13 years ago and other libraries used them before that.

What is KnockoutJS and how is it relevant in Magento 2?
Knockout JS is a Javascript library which uses the MVVM pattern to bind data to certain DOM elements. Within Magento, we usually define a View-Model (which is a .js file) and a Template (which is a .html file), and the data in the template file is bound to the view-model, meaning whenever the data in the view-model changes, the template file changes too.

Magento alternative: How it compares with Medusa, a JavaScript-based ecommerce platform
Magento is built with PHP. A good understanding of PHP is generally enough to perform different development tasks such as building modules. However, developers often need to work with libraries like Knockout.js and Less when developing themes.
