FAQPage Schema
How do I build AJAX interactions using htmx without writing custom JavaScript?▼

htmx enables dynamic web interfaces by using HTML attributes like hx-get and hx-post to trigger AJAX requests, swapping server-side HTML fragments into the page without writing custom JavaScript.

How does an out-of-band swap work in htmx?▼

Out-of-band swaps in htmx work by returning HTML fragments from the server that update multiple page elements simultaneously, independent of the primary request target, enabling synchronized UI updates.

What is the best way to implement infinite scroll with htmx?▼

The best way to implement infinite scroll with htmx is by using hx-get on a sentinel element to request the next page of server-side HTML fragments, appending results to the list as the user scrolls.

Can I use htmx for real-time search updates as a user types?▼

Yes, you can use htmx for real-time search by triggering an hx-get request on the input event, sending the query to the server and swapping the returned HTML fragment to update results live.

Does htmx require a specific backend framework to return HTML fragments?▼

No, htmx does not require a specific backend framework; any server capable of returning server-side HTML fragments can drive hypermedia-driven web development and interact with htmx attributes.

What are the security best practices when using htmx for web development?▼

Security best practices for htmx web development include protecting server-side HTML fragment endpoints against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and validating AJAX inputs to prevent injection attacks during out-of-band swaps.
