HTMX Patterns for Server-Driven UIs

HTMX lets you build dynamic interfaces by returning HTML from the server instead of JSON. It's a return to the architecture the web was designed for, with modern capabilities layered on top.

Core Patterns

• Use hx-get and hx-swap for partial page updates
• Use hx-trigger="revealed" for lazy loading
• Use hx-push-url to maintain browser history
• Use hx-indicator for loading states

Progressive Enhancement

The best HTMX applications work without JavaScript enabled. Every link and form should function as standard HTML first. HTMX then enhances the experience. If the JavaScript fails to load, the page still works.
