What's the best way to handle having multiple frontend components respond to events from a single SSE connection from some parent node data provider? Ideally we do not what many SSE connections within a page for each component.. right? Then what's the best practice to handle that single SSE handler on the server and frontend? If that makes sense...

Reminds me a little of htmz

htmz is a minimalist HTML microframework for creating interactive and modular web user interfaces with the familiar simplicity of plain HTML.

Nice project, always interesting to see HTMX-inspired frameworks.

If you want something even more minimalistic, I did Swap.js: 100 lines of code, handles AJAX navigation, browser history, custom listeners when parts of DOM are swapped, etc.

https://github.com/josephernest/Swap.js

Using it for a few production products and it works quite well!

heya amaury, great library!

i have added it to the htmx alternatives page:

There’s several other (well) known examples of the use of mujs.

There’s Artifex’s interpreter from muPDF. It’s also the basis of several JS related projects: https://mujs.com/

There’s also a lesser known interpreter: https://github.com/ccxvii/mujs

And IIRC, there was a CommonJS library of the same name.

It's about time browsers start supporting something like this natively. Fingers crossed.

I'll be checking this out. Any chance you (or anyone) has had a run with this lib + web components? I'd love to hear about it.

I’d like to see a comparison with pjax as well: https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax

Looks useful! I skimmed through the docs and had a question.

Is there a mechanism for loading HTML partials that require additional style or script file? And possibly a way to trigger a JS action when loaded? For example, loading an image gallery.

Would love to see a comparison with Datastar too

I don't do a lot of frontend work, but I'm glad to see more of this stuff popping up. Anything that combats the normal framework insanity is a good thing in my book. And this looks like a really cool idea. The default routing approach is an awesome idea, swapping the entire body by default is also really interesting. It seemed odd to me at first, but the more I thought about it the more it made sense.

Not to be confused with https://mujs.com/ I guess?

Does it automatically parse JSON responses from servers into objects? This is my one big gripe about htmx, even though the devs and other users keep telling me I shouldn't want that as a feature and that it "doesn't make sense".

Sorry if I need to use existing APIs I cannot change.

I like the idea. DOM morphing is nice.

I've done this previously with morphdom to AJAXify a purely server-driven backoffice system in a company.

I would love something even smaller. No `mu-` attributes (just rely on `id`, `href`, `rel`, `rev` and standard HTML semantics).

There's a nice `resource` attribute in RDFa which makes a lot of sense for these kinds of things: https://www.w3.org/TR/rdfa-lite/#h-resource

Overall, I think old 2015-era microdata like RDFa and this approach would work very well. Instead of reinventing attributes, using a standard.
