jsweet VS htmx

You can take a look at https://github.com/j4ts, which contains some Java libs transpiled by JSweet to TS/JS. The AWT/Swing implementation is just a proof of concept, but some other libs are fully functional like awt/geom.

However, you have to be aware that the initial purpose of JSweet was not to port all Java libs to JS. JSweet allows the transpiler to be customized (with extensions) to map Java APIs to JS ones so that you don't necessarily need a JS runtime. It's all explained in the "Extending the transpiler" section of the core doc: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet/blob/master/doc/jsweet-lan...

We used a lot GWT with UI frameworks like dominokit or Vaadin. There is another transpiler not mentioned before: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet It has better JS ecosystem integration and some library ports. I never used it, but it worth to try.

Well, you can, in theory use any language if you transpile it - that way, you'd end up using a single language across the stack (even if you're technically using JS). An example of this would be JSweet.

TheVirtual FTC simulator team is looking for FTC team members or alumni who want a programming challenge. We want your help adapting jsweet https://www.jsweet.org/ to transpile Java code to JS. Programmer will be working on automatic translation of Java to Javascript. Experience with both Java and Web development is ideal.

Definitely worth a look thank you! On another note, I've experimented successfully with https://www.jsweet.org/.

I look forward to getting back into front-end if I can do it in Java only (which can be done today) ... and not be looked down upon by frontenders, the CSS tricks designer crowd and the highly vocal JavaScript crowd.

When I work with HTMX I need isolated component that can be reusable a form. So I create a PHP Function that generate the Input Datalist.

I was inspired by htmz (which was in turn inspired by htmx) and how the author got pretty close to a basic htmx-like experience just using an iframe. I wanted to push it a little further so whipped this demo together. My submission demonstrates progressive enhancement for the form - with js enabled the request targets an iframe that is inserted into the dom, meaning the page doesn't actually navigate (similar to event.preventDefault()). The iframe receives the html response from the request and on load triggers a function to swap out it's contents into the main page.

As described on htmx.org: "htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext"

Apart from the source code itself, the repo's README also gives a bit more details about the various packages I used.

Also, there’s some response header juggling you have to do when submitting forms that have a validation step before redirecting: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/369

I’ve tried to iron out any footguns or server requirements I’ve bumped into while using HTMX & Hotwire in my projects.

✨ In recent months, I have been developing web projects using GOTTHA stack: Go + Templ + Tailwind CSS + htmx + Alpine.js. As soon as I'm ready to talk about all the subtleties and pitfalls, I'll post it on my social networks.

I've been digging into HTMX lately (using Python web frameworks) and find the concepts and approach to be interesting and promising. The idea of hypermedia driven systems over the current practice of JavaScript based frameworks (I never really got into React, played with Vue, and enjoy Svelte/SvelteKit) and the ability to chose your language/framework for the backend while primarily leveraging HTML/CSS on the frontend just seems refreshing.

Apparently it changed from 2-clause BSD: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/commit/e16f1865a494b6...

(The zero clause license drops the requirements for preserving the copyright notice when distributing)

It would be a sin not to start with something that prides itself on being the front-end library of peace. HTMX skyrocketed in popularity in 2023, gaining most of its GitHub stars during the past year. HTMX is not your average JS framework. If you work in HTMX, you will spend most of your time in the world of hypermedia, looking at web development from a completely different pair of eyes as compared to our usual JS-heavy outlook on modern web development. HTMX leverages the power of the concept of HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State), enabling developers to access browser features directly from HTML, instead of using Javascript.
