Implement a htmx gomponents library

[lobre]

Hey,

I love the concepts of this project.

I have just read the article on goingwithgo.com and it seems you mention the fact that you might want to create an "official" htmx library!.

I just wanted to know if this was still on your plate. And if so, I was thinking that this discussion could track the topic ;)

I also see that another project was created some time ago but it seems it is not in active development anymore.

I also see that this other discussion talks a bit about this.

#113

Yeah, I’m still open to building it. I don’t know if I’ll have full coverage of all features (the hyperscript parts for example), but maybe less is also fine.

Any parts in particular you’re interested in?

[markuswustenberg]

Okay, I've added all the core attributes from https://htmx.org/reference/#attributes . I think http headers will go into an http subpackage, to distinguish from the attributes. It's actually going to be less work than I expected. 😄

[lobre]

Awesome! This was fast 🚀

I can see that attributes such as hx-put are considered as "Additional". For a complete list, might be still worth it to include those as well in the future.

But anyway this reference documentation is not that long, I thought there were many more concepts and utilities in htmx, but not that much!

[markuswustenberg]

Yeah, I’m going to include everything I think. It’s not a lot. I just want to make sure I get the API right, but after playing with it today, I’m pretty confident about it. Watch the repo for changes. 😊

[lobre]

I will totally subscribe to the repo to listen for modifications. Thanks a lot for implementing this!

Hi all, we are using gomponents and htmx at our company. Maybe I can help with that.

[markuswustenberg]

Cool, thank you! I've created the repository at https://github.com/maragudk/gomponents-htmx . There's nothing done yet, but I think I'll have time to work on it in the coming weeks.

Just out of curiosity, what company is that? I'm thrilled when someone is using my libraries. 😊

[flaticols]

I'll be making some commits this weekend from my library https://github.com/flaticols/gomponents-htmx.

We are a small (~40 people) company from Amsterdam. Right now we use gomponents & htmx for an internal product. We have a small "framework". Everything works smoothly, fast, fantastic.
