A lot of people still mix jQuery and React in the same parent project. Mostly just via legacy support when using existing serverside frameworks but still sometimes having the fallback easy DOM/event stuff is just easier when you need to get it done (keeping the HTML/views isolated from each other of course so you don’t mix concepts). It doesn’t sound pretty but they can serve dual purposes. I don’t know enough about HTMX on how it would work implementation wise though and what type of setup.
But htmx is all about replacing server rendered html with server rendered html partials. I would like to see what reacts vdom does when you keep ploping some partials into DOM it thinks it controls.
Yeah they’d have to be isolated from each other if that’s the case. Which would defeat the value if it’s a small project starting from scratch with a limited scope frontend-wise (which htmx typically implies whenever I’ve seen it used or mentioned).
