intercooler-js

Htmx is the successor of Intercooler.js, which is like 10 years old already. https://github.com/bigskysoftware/intercooler-js

I like unpoly a lot, Henning is a perfect gentleman, but the first check in on intercooler.js was before the first check in on unpoly: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/intercooler-js/graphs/cont... https://github.com/unpoly/unpoly/graphs/contributors I'm happy to change the headers htmx is young enough to get away with it. Would you like to issue a pull request?

I continued to work on intercooler.js: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js http://intercoolerjs.org I'm trying to get people to reconsider the more traditional web development style of server-side rendering of HTML + HATEOAS.

Turbolinks is OK, but I prefer intercooler for HTML-based apps because it gives me a lot more control: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js/ I don't use it for everything, but it's great for a lot of my work.

If you want more fine grain control over your app than turbolinks, but like the general idea, intercooler.js gives you that: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js There are some good blog posts on HTML and HATEOAS too: http://intercoolerjs.org/2016/05/08/hatoeas-is-for-humans.ht...

I've built a fairly large, modern web app using rails and intercooler (https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js) and I've been very happy with the results: simple, feels modern and easy to extend. The two technologies play very well together and I've been able to add AJAX at the high value points in the app, rather than biting off a huge bit of infrastructure that needs to be maintained everywhere.

If you have any social media presence (or know someone who does) some signal boost on my against-the-grain front end library would be much appreciated: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js I have some articles up explaining some of the theory behind it on the blog: http://intercoolerjs.org/blog.html

Well, intercooler.js is 20 years behind its time: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js Does that count?

If you wish to stay with the thick client model, Vue.js appears to be the simplest alternative. If you are willing to consider returning to the original RESTful architecture of the web, intercooler.js will dramatically simplify your application: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js

Calling javascript a virus is hyperbole, of course, but it is quite obvious that a lot of people find javascript subjectively objectionable, and there are plenty of objective problems with the language. Unfortunately reasonable objections are usually shouted down online by javascript fans. Mandatory mention: intercooler.js lets you add ajax to you app w/ very little javascript. I really didn't like javascript and thought that AJAX should work like regular old web requests and, in the process, rediscovered REST/HATEOAS. I really like it. You can use whatever language you'd like on your backend, all the communication is in HTML, as Berners-Lee intended. https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js

On the front end, intercooler.js[1] actually gained more stars in 2016 (~3000)[2] than Mithril (which I like, this is not to take anything away from the Mithril guys!) This was in large part due to a big HN bump in November. I know it's too contrarian and idiosyncratic to get a mention on a JS survey, but I have to get he word out somehow...

Yeah, a core idea of intercooler is to take the original web architecture seriously and not try to shoe-horn 90's style client/server architecture into the web: http://intercoolerjs.org/docs.html#philosophy I'm looking to add server-side event support in the next month or so, which would give us a nice way to implement push-based updates: https://github.com/LeadDyno/intercooler-js/issues/131 I'm working on a demo chat UI myself, so I will be motivated to add it soon. :)
