Anyone use Alpine.js & htmx with modern Rails?

• vite

  791 64,913 9.9 TypeScript

  Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!

  

I also probably will go down the Vite rabbit hole. I started with Sprockets, then went to Webpacker, then went to css & jss-bundling. I really prefer live reload, so I find css & jss-bundling a step back from Webpacker (though much lighter, which is good). Anyway, that's off-topic.

• htmx

  566 32,837 9.6 JavaScript

  </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

  

I have also looked at htmx, but not yet tested, as a JS request/responce, UJS and Turbolinks replacement, and it does indeed look very promising. It appears to provide functionality to cover those cases, and again like Alpine.js it is explicitly injected into the HTML views. Less magical than Hotwire, but somehow more understandable to the way my brain works.

• Alpine.js

  242 26,865 9.3 HTML

  A rugged, minimal framework for composing JavaScript behavior in your markup.

  

I have come across Alpine.js as a nice replacement for jQuery. A little bit of experimentation has me convinced that it can work to sprinkle interactivity on a page very elegantly. Plus, I actually like it.
