Andrey, Thank you for the video It is always a pleasure to watch a step by step coding session like this! Hoping to see more of this!

[@andrey.fadeev]

Hi, thanks for the comment 😊 I'm back from holidays next week and do more videos!

[@brazenintellect364]

Great video Andrey. I am really excited about HTMx but I am just equally (may be a bit more) for Electric Clojure. It would be super if you do similar video for Electric Clojure.

[@andrey.fadeev]

Cheers! Yeah, I heard good things about Electric Clojure so need to try it myself at some point :)

[@dhiamuhammad3569]

Hoping to see more of this, Andrey. Subscribed and Liked. From a frontend developer that despises React and big fan of Clojure hehe

[@andrey.fadeev]

Next video is planned to be about HTMX😉

[@lifedrawing1]

Thank you! Would love to see another episode using perhaps CTMX so that HTMX can call other HTMX snippets rather than only HTML. And also incorporating Tailwind.

[@andrey.fadeev]

Cheers mate! Yeah, will definitely do as I'm really into HTMX now :) CTMX is on my list to try as well, I decided to start simple first, to understand better how things are working and what additional value CTMX is adding. And Tailwind is my preferred way doing CSS, I don't event remember last time I've touched plain CSS :) I have a hobby project which I potentially will use to rewrite to HTMX, will see how it goes!

[@dhiamuhammad3569]

This!!

Html in clojure looks beautiful

[@andrey.fadeev]

yeah, to be fair Hiccup library is just one of the approaches to work with HTML in Clojure (but I think the most elegant and powerful), the other option is to use the Selmer library which has its own (Django-inspired) templating syntax, but I hate it :)

[@KManAbout]

​@@andrey.fadeevwhat about enlive

[@andrey.fadeev]

@@KManAbout to me Hiccup is always a winner, I just like the simplicity that I can define HTML components as pure functions and use simple DSL to define HTML (and work with it as Clojure data). I can see a use case when a non-clojure developer is doing HTML templates and you need to serve it from Clojure backend - so maybe enlive, selmer is useful there - likely it's not my case :)

[@KManAbout]

@andrey.fadeev I wouldn't really consider enlive as a dsl. It is basically hiccup with added functions of selecting html and few other functions.

[@borisbeginin]

Keep it up man!

[@drewbird87]

I can imagine similar interoperability with something like Alpine JS.

[@andrey.fadeev]

Yeah, I think AlpineJS will be a good addition if some pure client side logic is required 💯 and as it's also managed by HTML attributes it will be easy to configure in Hiccup code!

[@thecimarron]

uhhh what editor is he using?

[@andrey.fadeev]

IntelliJ IDEA

[@Septumsempra8818]

Htmx caching? I'm using partial templates rather than boosting. I'm getting so me weird behavior that needs a better understanding of caching. Is anyone comfortable with caching and the right workflow for production sites?

[@andrey.fadeev]

I'm not sure I fully understand the problem you have...

[@Septumsempra8818]

If I load a partial, eg replace content in #main-container. If I leave the browser for a few hours, when I go back an unformatted page will be in the browser. When I reload it fixes itself. My suspicion is that when I leave the browser for a while, when I come back it loads the last loaded page which happens to be a partial.
