Yes, and that's what is shown in this article.
htmx is not meant to do anything fancy that you can’t do with Ember/Angular/React/Vue/etc.
htmx is simpler though and has a few benefits as I see it, compared to those frameworks:
No duplication of data models and routing, and all business logic stays on the server-side where it belongs.
No build step, no dependency hell, and no outrageous churn; just include one JS file that browsers should be able to run indefinitely.
I feel like most of the things such as dependency hell and at least some amount of data models and routing can be resolved by using custom elements tho. I can agree to a certain point that HTMX could lead to a simple markup based approach, but it's still a matter of learning another library and all that junk. In a perfect world I feel like there should just be an equivalent to maybe the `` element that could on becoming visible makes an Http call to lazy load and plop in some inner HTML. I guess you'd still be missing the whole events driven by attributes part tho.
I don't know if I think this whole HTMX stuff is silly cause I'm jaded, or don't see a use case for it personally. So take my comment with a huge grain of salt.
