    There's a long-standing WHATWG feature request open for it here: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2791

    And several userland custom element implementation, like https://www.npmjs.com/package//html-include-element

    One of the cool things that you can do with client-side includes and shadow DOM is render the included HTML into a shadow root that has s, so that the child content of the include element is slotted into a shell implemented by the included HTML.

    This lets you do things like have the main page be the pre-page content and the included HTML be a heavily cached site-wide shell, and then another per-user include with personalized HTML - all cached appropriately.

  • Htmz – a low power tool for HTML
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Feb 2024
    I think there's a pretty strong argument at this point for this kind of replacing DOM with a response behavior being part of the platform.

    I think the first step would be an element that lets you load external content into the page declaratively. There's a spec issue open for this: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2791

    And my custom element implementation of the idea: https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-include-element

    Then HTML could support these elements being targets of links.

  • Is Htmx Just Another JavaScript Framework?
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 11 Jan 2024
    I'd love to see something like HTMX get standardized, but I'm extremely pessimistic for HTMX's prospects for standardization in HTML.

    In talking to a few standards folks about it, they've all said, "oh, yeah, you want declarative AJAX; people have tried and failed to get that standardized for years." Even just trying to get

    to target a section of the page that isn't an has been argued about and hashed out for years.<p>Why is that? Well, for example, here's the form you have to fill out to start standardizing a front-end feature. <a href="https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/new?assignees=&labels=addition%2Fproposal%2Cneeds+implementer+interest&projects=&template=1-new-feature.yml">https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/new?assignees=&labels=...</a><p>It asks three main questions:<p>* What problem are you trying to solve?
