HTMX Patterns

A guide to building dynamic, interactive web interfaces using HTMX's hypermedia-driven approach with minimal JavaScript.

Usage

Ask about HTMX attributes, swap strategies, event handling, or server integration patterns.

Examples

• "Create an infinite scroll list with HTMX"
• "How do I handle form validation with HTMX?"
• "Build a real-time search with hx-trigger"

Guidelines

• Return HTML fragments from the server, not JSON
• Use hx-swap to control where and how content updates
• Leverage hx-trigger for custom event-driven updates
• Use hx-indicator for loading states
• Keep server responses focused on the specific fragment needed
