Display Builder, the HTMX-powered visual builder
Speakers
Drupal 11.2 introduces HTMX, a lightweight JavaScript dependency that revolutionizes the way developers create user interfaces within the platform. By modernizing and unifying various legacy APIs—including AJAX, AJAX for Views, Form States, and Big Pipe—HTMX empowers developers to build dynamic, interactive experiences without the overhead of traditional JavaScript frameworks.
This shift not only simplifies the development process but also enhances performance, allowing for quicker load times and smoother interactions. With HTMX, creating responsive and engaging user interfaces becomes more intuitive, enabling developers to focus on delivering value rather than wrestling with complex code. The integration of HTMX into Drupal marks a significant step towards a more modern web development approach, fostering an environment where creativity and functionality can thrive.
