HTMX is great ! So much can be done without even any scripting client-side.


Isn't htmx implemented in JavaScript which is downloaded clientside so you can use the hx- directives?


Yes it is implemented in Javascript. You don't have to write JS yourself in your application though. Not that I can't write Javascript, it's just that some things are a lot easier with hx directives.


HTMX is a "HTML library" rather than a JS library. It just happens to be implemented in JS for necessary reasons.


i think they mean "user written js"
