    in plain htmx, you can target an area that doesn't disrupt a playing video (e.g. the comments box appending to the comments) or you can use a morphing algorithm that disrupts the DOM less.

    i have my own morphing algorithm (and a corresponding htmx plugin that allows you to use it) called idiomorph:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/

    i've also been working with the chrome team to get a feature added they are calling "atomic moves":

    https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/1255

    this would allow us to move elements around in the DOM without losing things like play state or focus or whatever

    very excited for this last idea, I think it will be a huge boon for the web in general, not just for htmx

    for htmx 2.0 i'm integrating this functionality into the core

    it's based on the head morphing algorithm of idiomorph:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/

    which 37Signals is going to integrate into Turbo for v8:

    i certainly hope not

    the 2.0 would drop IE support, remove the older SSE and WebSocket support, and switch a couple of defaults (e.g, using template wrapping for parsing partial content, which handles troublesome elements like table rows better, but isn't available in IE) so it would be a breaking change (not for most folks, but still, breaking for some) which I only like to do w/ major versions.

    we may have one major addition: a morph swap based on idiomorph:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/

    i'm on the fence on that one: it is currently available as an extension and maybe doesn't belong in the core, still thinking about it

    so, in comparison with most libraries, 2.0 is going to be very minor

  • Htmx Is the Future

    maybe I'm too close to it, but htmx feels like a hack to address things that really should be part of the HTML spec

    if browsers got into the game I would assume they could do things much faster and integrate things like preload (https://htmx.org/extensions/preload/) and idiomorph (https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph/) much more cleanly w/ the rest of the browser infrastructure

    idiomorph:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph

    it's an updated take on the DOM morphing algorithm of morphdom, and it uses what i call "ID sets" to allow the morphing algorithm to "see" children in the DOM when making morphing decisions in the parents, which means you don't need to annotate the DOM with as many ids

    here is a demo showing how it outperforms morphdom when ids are sparse/deep:

  • Ask HN: What's Your Proudest Hack?
    12 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Dec 2022
    my trick for making the `htmx:confirm` event act like it is blocking:

    https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/blob/a3c414dcee94fd03...

    basically, redesign the arguments for a function such that I can call it again at a given spot with one parameter changed and, to a first order approximation, it acts as if the function is resumable.

    I've used this hack in many places now, just recently in idiomorph to allow head elements to load before the rest of the content is morphed:

  • Moving from React to htmx on a real-world SaaS application

    That being said, htmx is about 3000 lines of mostly-understandable JavaScript. Really, the only two somewhat ugly parts of the code are history support and the somewhat fancy swapping model that enables CSS transitions. And it's basically baked at this point. I plan on adding a merge-style swap (https://github.com/bigskysoftware/idiomorph), better head merging and cleaning up some rough edges in htmx 2.0, but the core API shouldn't change at all and for most people 2.0 will be the same as a point release. At that point, htmx will be done done, and just another tool to use when building websites.
