Drupal 11: Making Interactive Elements With HTMX

HTMX is a JavaScript library that allows you to make ajax calls and create CSS transitions without writing any JavaScript code. It works by adding attributes to HTML elements, which it then uses to set up and perform ajax requests, swap elements, and a few other things.

It was added to Drupal in version 11.3.0* and gives developers the ability to create interactive elements using render arrays and HTML attributes. The intent is to replace the entire ajax sub-system with one built around HTMX, and there is quite a lot of work ahead to accomplish this task.

* Technically, HTMX has been in Drupal since 11.2.0, but only as an experimental library. Drupal 11.3.0 features the full HTMX library and a number of helper classes to make life easy.

In this article we will look at how HTMX is integrated into Drupal, and what services exist to help you use it within the Drupal system.

Since this article is quite long I have created a table of contents to assist in scrolling to the relevant sections.
