Spring Tips: HTMX

Hi, Spring fans! HTMX is the progressive hypertext sensation that's sweeping the process of web app creation, and - thanks to a nice integration by Spring community legend Wim Deblauwe, it's easier than ever to use it with Spring Boot and Thymeleaf. And, it's the topic of today's installment!

Gotta love Wim Deblauwe!
Hes the best java coder i know!

Timely! I just tried Spring+Thymeleaf+HTMX for the first time and I hadn't realized there was a Spring Boot HTMX package!

Great, simple, straight to the point tutorial.

Hey Josh, many thanks for the slick demo, any chance you could glue all your recent demos on Authorisation Server, Cloud Gateway Server & Resource Server (MPA web server) together with Thymeleaf & HTMX, something a bit closer to real world scenario? As Thymeleaf and HTMX start to have a few CSRF issues...Cheers

Looks like spring initializer now has htmx dependency. Is that now a prefer way to include in the template file. If so, how do you specify htmx library in the template file using the Springboot's version of htmx library?

First to comment, Nice to hear you mentioned thymeleaf

[prdoyle]

I've just been combining Thymeleaf and HTMX just by adding an attribute like th:hx-delete, rather than th:attribute. Seems to work.

Thank you very much! I'm also learning thmyeleaf and htmx currently. I just have one question:

Why `th.attr="hx-delete=@{...}"` instead of `th:hx-delete="@{...}"`? Isn't the second one simpler? Or is there a reason?

[PlasmaSnake]

If you're using htmx why not use something simpler than thymeleaf like mustache?

skip the ai generated thumbnail it’s off putting

Does anyone make it works using Native Images?

hi. how use REST API with HTMX response JSON not use model or view

[terteseamos]

Please @Josh can you do a video on how Spring boot handle multiple request at the same time

[maverickv]

How would you deploy such an app? I tried Spring Boot and HTMX for a little side gig but JVM start up time ~7 seconds is just not viable. I tried Spring Native but I ran into some weird issues.

is HTMX new ?? I mean i tried to find a couse in udemy that talks about Spring boot + HTMX but I couldn't find !! ... it seems cool add-on thymeleaf but not sure if good choice to do real projects !

what is your first favorite place on internet?

JavaScript is a programming language, while HTMX is more of a structural DSL. The goal of any structural DSL is to simplify the complexity that comes with using a full-fledged programming language. But there's a catch: they can't cover every possible scenario. So, in the end, if you want to handle everything, you still need to learn a programming language.

Take SQL as another example. It's a structural DSL that makes querying data from a database easier. But we soon realize that not every situation can be solved with just a single SQL statement. That's why databases have built-in stored procedures to handle more complex logic. Of course, developers also have the option to implement that logic in other programming languages instead of using stored procedures.
