I would love a Go-HTMX-Templ video, that combination sounds so good

Funny how development trends come and go and repeat themselves. This looks exactly how C# developers were building web applications 10+ years ago with MVC/Razor syntax.

Wow, that's the coolest thing I've seen in the past year! Definitely a thumbs up for this. I hope you record the full setup for this. And please show hot reload with GoAir.

That sounds very promising, I'd love a detailed follow-up for HTMX x Golang tuts more in Anthdm style!

For me, with tools like svelte, the state management across pages and components is the biggest sell. I’m interested to see how your managing complex state here; especially if and when state is mutated by something client side such as a drag and drop event.

I recently dabbled into templ and instantly knew that this + htmx is just going to be awesome. Great to hear that a veteran agrees :)

Kind of interesting seeing how software development has come full circle and now what PHP did for decades before SPA even became a thing is now once again considered to be a good practice

How long until you switch to the Next New Thing? I give it 18 months max.

"we have sveltekit in the frontend, golang in the backend" -> uhm isn't sveltekit a backend too? Or did you mean svelte?

[bigtymer]

Love the HTMX Go stack!!! Some HTMX tutorials would be awesome.

[brigadafitness]

Great, this looks promising. And by the way thx for the bigger font size in the code, now I can watch your videos from my mobile.

[theretroman]

Totally! I would like to see ASAP a tutorial end to end on using TEMPL + GO and Wails if possible. Much appreciated!

[pickavana]

did you say you had Sveltekit (Sk) + nextjs + golang to start with and you dropped Sk/nextjs because all you were using Sk for was rendering html and htmx enabled that without the overhead of using Sk? If i got that correct then it wasnt so much a move from Sk to golang + htmx as replacing the Sk rendering with htmx? Could Sk alone not have done what you needed or golang was a must? Did really get the "how" you did it but would definitely like to see this. I get the dev time saved but was that at a performance expense? It seems htmx is essentially state management which is what Sk is all about, with performance.

I would love to see an in depth with templ and htmx

I started using the same stack a couple weeks ago I absolutely love it. Templ / Echo / HTMx are such a joy to work with. I would be very interested in a in depth video showing how you setup your dev env to run echo / compile templ / tailwind / typescript. I have hacked up a half-ass solution for that, it works but it's not ideal

[Madmaniac]

yes, please do an in-depth video on how you set this up, I'm sick of duplicating state & types just for the templating capabilities that JSX or Svelte offers, plus when it's a one or two man show, no point in having a separate backend & frontend

[theodoreivanov]

Totally new to Go but your sheer enthusiasm persuaded me to give this stack a try.

[peteredmonds]

Hey Anthony, good video! I've been using HTMX & Go as well for my projects. I like your approach here, but I think the more idiomatic approach to handle form errors in HTMX is to set up a <div id="formErrors"/> in your form, then <form hx-post="/sign-in" hx-target-40*="#formErrors">. In this way, your sign in handler can simple return the error component in case of errors :) The rest of the form component will remain unchanged so users don't lose their input

[davidhinojosa]

Very nice! A video on how you guys set templ up would be awesome.

[user_v]

I want to see you make a follow up video with a tutorial on how to set that up.
