Integrating HTMX into Drupal core revolutionizes the way developers approach visual design and content management. The Display Builder, powered by HTMX, offers a seamless, design-system-native interface for creating page layouts, managing entity displays, and configuring Views. This innovative tool provides a live preview feature that allows developers to see changes in real-time, enhancing the workflow and reducing the iteration time typically associated with traditional content management systems.

Beyond its intuitive interface, Display Builder introduces powerful functionalities such as undo and redo capabilities, making it easy for users to experiment with designs without the fear of losing previous iterations. Real-time collaboration further elevates the user experience, enabling multiple team members to work on the same project simultaneously. By leveraging HTMX, Display Builder maintains state on the server, ensuring that users can access their work from any device while providing a robust foundation for scalable, dynamic web applications.
