How does htmx compare with alpinejs (https://alpinejs.dev/ https://alpinejs.dev/)?

• earthboundkid 3y ago
  Alpine is more of a Vue replacement and HTMX is more of a fetch replacement. You can use both, although it’s a little redundant.

  HTMX and Alpine pair well together. Generally, Alpine would handle pure client-side functionality, like toggling classes, expanding a drop-down multi-select, etc. HTMX for server interactions, fetching, posting updates, etc. One can accomplish a lot with little to no JS, with the app primarily driven by the backend. Which is quite a benefit if you know and like PHP/Python/Go/Elixir/C++ better than JS. Or just don’t like working in JS.
