Datastar versus htmx

[joeblew999]

Would make things easier and have more features if this is used : https://github.com/starfederation/datastar

it’s the next gen highly opinionated htmx.

I have been using it with nats as many others do.

People are even doing 3d animation with it .

the signals aspects allows you to do intimate control of JS fragments as well as html fragments.

it’s really worth a look . Lots of “been around the block too many times” devs are pretty hot on it . You can use simple go template : https://github.com/starfederation/datastar/tree/develop/examples/go/hello-world

there are no crazy htmx commands and cycles . It’s just push and merge to browser …

I hope this gets a serious look as I have been using template as a low code style system and Datastar just Is same philosophy .

Forget to mention that SSE is baked into Datastar .

Singje js and off you go.

There is a bundler to allow extending : https://data-star.dev/bundler

The real time in browser aspects of that bundler are itself built on Datastar .

v3 of DS is out soon I heard . It’s got real time signals inside the browser so a lot can be done with zero round tripping too .
