Spring Tips: HTMX

[@julesdeblauwe]

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

[@prdoyle]

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

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?

[@JavierFausLlopis]

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

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?

[@roeniss]

seems no obvious reason

[@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.

[@WimDeblauwe]

That works indeed. When you use htmx-spring-boot library, you can also use `hx:delete`.

Does anyone make it works using Native Images?

[@hamednikbakht9708]

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

[@FINALLYQQQQAVAILABLE]

HTMX is does not operate on JSON APIs. The server should return HTML. A proper REST API in the original sense should be hypertext-driven anyway. When using HTMX you should use HTML as the hypertext format.

[@PlasmaSnake369]

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

[@martindzeble]

First to comment, Nice to hear you mentioned thymeleaf

[@AsifAgaria]

which IDE you use

[@melveryshop9852]

Intellij Idea, new UI

[@maverickv3517]

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.

[@hba6018]

Quarkus + HTMX = ❤

[@TheExcentro]

Thanks a lot!

skip the ai generated thumbnail it’s off putting

[@ChrisB_Crisps]

I like it, take a look at the playlist thumbnails

[@muslehhaj4164]

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 !

[@dmitrik4610]

how to add csrf to request?

[@terteseamos579]

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

[@sadiulhakim7814]

what is your first favorite place on internet?

[@zhilindeng]

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.

[@FINALLYQQQQAVAILABLE]

Yes. HTMX works with practically any programming language and libraries which enable writing server side applications. And you can add more Javascript to the frontend should you wish to do so.
