htmx is focused on increasing the network-oriented expressiveness of HTML, rather than on pure front end enhancements.

For something like menu popups or toggling content on the front end, I would expect an application to use a front end framework like bootstrap, or perhaps WebComponents, or a scripting solution like Alpine, in conjunction with htmx.

Alpine and htmx complement one another nicely, particularly since htmx 0.2.0, when we started firing kebab-style event names.




Ah for whatever reason I always saw this as an either-or scenario, not in tandem.

That gives me hope as I’ve wanted to use htmx on a project. Gonna start playing around with it tonight. Thanks!
