kotlin-wrappers VS htmx

If you want something more standard, I'd look at Kotlin Wrappers and look at examples of using react - https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers

Kotlin wrappers for JS.

The only reference I can find to an error boundary in Kotlin React is at QueryErrorResetBoundary.kt in the kotlin-wrappers repository. Would any of you know anything about this?

Yes! Interesting that it isn't defined in the Length.kt file (that's where I was looking for it) and is instead in its lonesome, but I guess it makes sense as it's not actually a length value. Thanks for the help!

plugins { kotlin("js") id("com.github.node-gradle.node") version "3.4.0" } kotlin { js(IR) { // let's rename it to more reusable as under that name we will access it in our boilerplate code moduleName = "stories" // browser also works fine here, we just need it for compiling purposes as of now nodejs {} // add a startup script to our package json compilations["main"].packageJson { customField( "scripts", mapOf("storybook" to "start-storybook -p 6006 -c $projectDir/.storybook --ci") ) } binaries.executable() } } tasks.named("build") { dependsOn("assemble") dependsOn("copyJsStories") } tasks.register("copyJsStories") { dependsOn("developmentExecutableCompileSync") from("$projectDir/src/main/js") into("$buildDir/compileSync/main/developmentExecutable/kotlin") // flatten all files to appear on one level eachFile { if (isDirectory) { exclude() } path = path.replace("/", ".") } } tasks.register("copyPackageJson") { dependsOn("build") from("$buildDir/tmp/publicPackageJson/package.json") into("$projectDir") } tasks.register("start") { dependsOn("build") dependsOn("npmInstall") args.addAll("run", "storybook") } tasks.named("npmInstall") { dependsOn("copyPackageJson") workingDir.set(file("$projectDir")) inputs.file("package.json") } dependencies { // dependency to the project with components implementation(project(":app")) // react dependencies to put on package.json explicitly // can resolve the actual versions on https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers implementation(npm("react", "^17.0.2")) implementation(npm("react-dom", "^17.0.2")) implementation(npm("react-router-dom", "^6.2.2")) // storybook specific dependencies implementation(npm("@storybook/builder-webpack5", "^6.5.9")) implementation(npm("@storybook/manager-webpack5", "^6.5.9")) implementation(npm("@storybook/node-logger", "^6.5.9")) implementation(npm("@storybook/preset-create-react-app", "^4.1.2")) implementation(npm("@storybook/react", "^6.5.9")) }

From my experience if you're truly trying to interop with JavaScript code that is already out there on npm, you better hope there is a library that already wraps it like kotlin wrappers. Otherwise you would have to write a wrapper library yourself or use dukat to convert typescript definitions to kotlin (which I have never had the best luck converting but maybe it got better?).

Everything moved to central a long back - https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers

It's still pretty finnicky to configure and it hasn't emerged from alpha yet, so its future isn't exactly secure, but I'm hopeful as they appear to be investing a lot of resources into it and adjacent projects, e.g. the kotlin-react library.

We already have a battle-tested integration with react (it's used inside jetbrains.space) -- https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-wrappers And, take a look at docs and hands-on.

Recently, I just rewrite one of my application Stashbin from Next.js to GO. Though my main motivation of this migration was to learn GO and experimenting with HTMX. I also aiming to reduce the resource usage of my application and simplify the deployment process. Initially, Stashbin codebase are split into two seperate repository, one for the frontend that uses Next.js and another for the backend that already uses GO. The backend repository is just a REST API responsible for storing and retreiving data from the database.

HTMX is another library that gained popularity due to its server-first approach to rendering data, although seeking a much simpler way of appealing to developers.

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.
