htmx is something that is executed in the frontend

so how can we provide this as a template engine ?
can you please describe in more detail what you expect ?

[gedw99]

Well glad your asking

here is a project that does it

https://github.com/livefir/fir/tree/main

[ReneWerner87]

but there the html engine is used for rendering, which we already provide as template engine

probably you want to have a workflow which combines the backend rendering process and active events from the frontend in one solution

then you should create a request in the contrib repository for such a solution via middleware

the template rendering engines are pure backend template systems which have only this one task and are independent from other feature sets

[gedw99]

yes i was thinking that we could add htmx as either an example or more integrated.

I am totally biased. I love htmx because it allows backend devs to do frontend without going nuts.

YES exactly !!

If you want to have a chat about it happy to. I am in Berlin. Saw your in germany

[ReneWerner87]

just join the discord channel and we can chat

best you create a feature request for the contrib repository and there you(or someone) solve the combination of html template and sse/websocket in a middleware that sets up the application
