Putting the hyper into hypermedia: htmx 4 in Drupal
Track: Technical
Drupal is undergoing a change in the way that it handles AJAX requests, CSS transitions, WebSockets, and Server-Sent Events. Now available in core, the tiny htmx library provides a replacement for jquery and AJAX, reducing the javascript size by 71%. It also provides and alternative to headless and decoupled front ends by offering a simple way to handle dynamic front-ends.
Htmx version 4 has just been released and will be available in Drupal 12. This presentation aims to do a couple of things: introduce htmx to people that might not have seen it before; demonstrate the cool stuff it can do in the current version as well as the to-be-relased version 4; and provide some suggestions for module maintainers on moving from ajax or jquery to htmx.

I'm a web developer currently with Pragma in Canberra, working on mostly Drupal projects.
I've also worked within the APS on GovCMS projects.
My work includes sites at the Department of Finance, Australian War Memorial, and Department of Education and Workplace Relations.
In a previous life, I was a high-school English teacher and made the jump into the tech world and found myself working with Drupal. As a fairly new member to the Drupal world, I've enjoyed learning how it all works.
