LINES ADDED: 131 lines comprehensive HTMX patterns
### Hover Synchronization Pattern (lines 1164-1279)
JavaScript wrapper → Hyperscript call bridge pattern
**Complete Documentation:**
- Problem: Duplicate buttons (PDF/Print/Zoom) need sync hover
- Challenge: JavaScript events can't directly call hyperscript
- Solution: Wrapper function bridge pattern
**Architecture Layers:**
1. JavaScript layer (main.js)
- mouseenter/mouseleave event listeners
- Calls hyperscript functions as bridge
2. Hyperscript layer (hover-sync._hs)
- syncPdfHover(show), syncPrintHover(show)
- highlightZoomControl(show)
- Class manipulation logic
3. CSS layer
- .pdf-hover-sync, .print-hover-sync classes
- Visual feedback with transforms
**Step-by-Step Flow:**
- 8-step detailed breakdown
- User action → JS event → Hyperscript logic → CSS transition
- Complete cycle from mouseenter to mouseleave
**Benefits:**
- Visual coherence across UI components
- No refresh needed (pure CSS)
- JavaScript-Hyperscript paradigm bridge
- Performance optimized (class toggling)
LINES ADDED: 115 lines comprehensive hover sync documentation

### Advanced Swap Timing
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Coordinated swap and settle timing -->
|
||||
<button hx-get="/language/en"
|
||||
hx-target="#cv-content"
|
||||
hx-swap="outerHTML swap:250ms settle:250ms">
|
||||
Switch Language
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Swap Timing Modifiers:**
|
||||
- `swap:250ms` - Delay before old content removed (allows fade-out animation)
|
||||
- `settle:250ms` - Delay before new content settled (allows fade-in animation)
|
||||
- Combined: Smooth 500ms total transition (250ms fade-out + 250ms fade-in)
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Cases:**
|
||||
- Language switching with skeleton loaders
|
||||
- Content transitions requiring smooth animations
|
||||
- Coordinating multiple UI updates
|
||||
|
||||
### Out-of-Band Swaps (Multi-Target Updates)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Single request needs to update multiple page areas simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** Use `hx-swap-oob` attribute for atomic multi-target updates.
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Server returns multiple elements in single response -->
|
||||
<!-- Main response (replaces #main-content) -->
|
||||
<div id="main-content">
|
||||
<h2>New Main Content</h2>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Out-of-band updates (update independent targets) -->
|
||||
<div id="notification-count" hx-swap-oob="innerHTML">5</div>
|
||||
<div id="user-badge" hx-swap-oob="outerHTML">
|
||||
<span class="badge">Premium</span>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Points:**
|
||||
- Main target replaced normally
|
||||
- OOB elements updated by matching `id` attributes
|
||||
- All updates happen atomically (single DOM transaction)
|
||||
- Prevents multiple server requests
|
||||
- Maintains consistency across UI
|
||||
|
||||
**Real Example (Language Switch):**
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Single HTMX request returns: -->
|
||||
<!-- 1. New CV content (main target) -->
|
||||
<div id="cv-content" class="cv-content">
|
||||
<!-- Spanish CV content -->
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- 2. Updated language selector (OOB) -->
|
||||
<div id="language-selector" hx-swap-oob="outerHTML">
|
||||
<button hx-get="/switch-language?lang=en" class="lang-btn">English</button>
|
||||
<button class="lang-btn active">Español</button>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ Single server round-trip
|
||||
- ✅ Atomic updates (no inconsistent intermediate states)
|
||||
- ✅ Reduced network overhead
|
||||
- ✅ Simpler client-side logic
|
||||
|
||||
### History Management
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Push URL to browser history (enables back button) -->
|
||||
<button hx-get="/page/about"
|
||||
hx-target="#main"
|
||||
hx-push-url="true">
|
||||
About Page
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- Custom URL in history (different from request URL) -->
|
||||
<button hx-get="/api/get-profile"
|
||||
hx-target="#profile"
|
||||
hx-push-url="/profile">
|
||||
View Profile
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Use Cases:**
|
||||
- SPA-like navigation without full page reloads
|
||||
- Shareable URLs for dynamic content
|
||||
- Back/forward button support
|
||||
- Deep linking into application state
|
||||
|
||||
**Real Example (Language Switching):**
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<button hx-get="/switch-language?lang=es"
|
||||
hx-target="#language-selector"
|
||||
hx-swap="outerHTML"
|
||||
hx-push-url="/?lang=es">
|
||||
Español
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** URL changes to `/?lang=es`, shareable link, back button works.
|
||||
|
||||
### Loading States
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Loading indicator -->
|
||||
<button hx-get="/slow" hx-indicator="#spinner">
|
||||
Load
|
||||
<!-- External loading indicator (see Section 10 for details) -->
|
||||
<span id="lang-indicator" class="htmx-indicator">
|
||||
<iconify-icon icon="mdi:loading" class="spinning"></iconify-icon>
|
||||
</span>
|
||||
|
||||
<button hx-get="/data"
|
||||
hx-indicator="#lang-indicator">
|
||||
Load Data
|
||||
</button>
|
||||
<div id="spinner" class="htmx-indicator">Loading...</div>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* HTMX adds .htmx-request class automatically */
|
||||
.htmx-indicator {
|
||||
display: none;
|
||||
opacity: 0;
|
||||
transition: opacity 200ms ease-in;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.htmx-request .htmx-indicator {
|
||||
display: inline-block;
|
||||
opacity: 1;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Advanced Pattern:** External indicators prevent destruction during swaps. See **Section 10: HTMX Loading Indicators** for comprehensive implementation.

#### Hover Synchronization Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Action bar and hamburger menu have duplicate buttons (PDF, Print, Zoom). When user hovers over one, the corresponding button in the other UI should also highlight for visual coherence.
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge:** JavaScript `mouseenter`/`mouseleave` events can't directly manipulate hyperscript functions from inline attributes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Solution:** JavaScript wrapper → Hyperscript `call` bridge pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:**
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// static/js/main.js - JavaScript event listeners (wrapper layer)
|
||||
function initHoverSync() {
|
||||
// PDF button hover sync
|
||||
document.querySelectorAll('.pdf-btn, .menu-pdf-btn').forEach(btn => {
|
||||
btn.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => syncPdfHover(true));
|
||||
btn.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => syncPdfHover(false));
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Print button hover sync
|
||||
document.querySelectorAll('.print-btn, .menu-print-btn').forEach(btn => {
|
||||
btn.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => syncPrintHover(true));
|
||||
btn.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => syncPrintHover(false));
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Zoom toggle hover
|
||||
const zoomToggle = document.getElementById('zoom-toggle-btn');
|
||||
if (zoomToggle) {
|
||||
zoomToggle.addEventListener('mouseenter', () => highlightZoomControl(true));
|
||||
zoomToggle.addEventListener('mouseleave', () => highlightZoomControl(false));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```hyperscript
|
||||
-- static/hyperscript/hover-sync._hs - Hyperscript logic layer
|
||||
def syncPdfHover(show)
|
||||
set pdfButtons to <.pdf-btn, .menu-pdf-btn/>
|
||||
|
||||
if show is true
|
||||
for btn in pdfButtons
|
||||
add .pdf-hover-sync to btn
|
||||
end
|
||||
else
|
||||
for btn in pdfButtons
|
||||
remove .pdf-hover-sync from btn
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
|
||||
def syncPrintHover(show)
|
||||
set printButtons to <.print-btn, .menu-print-btn/>
|
||||
|
||||
if show is true
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
if show is true
|
||||
add .highlight to zoomWrapper
|
||||
else
|
||||
remove .highlight from zoomWrapper
|
||||
end
|
||||
end
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```css
|
||||
/* CSS provides the visual feedback */
|
||||
.pdf-btn.pdf-hover-sync,
|
||||
.menu-pdf-btn.pdf-hover-sync {
|
||||
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.1);
|
||||
transform: scale(1.05);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
.print-btn.print-hover-sync,
|
||||
.menu-print-btn.print-hover-sync {
|
||||
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 255, 0.1);
|
||||
transform: scale(1.05);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
#zoom-wrapper.highlight {
|
||||
outline: 2px solid var(--accent-blue);
|
||||
outline-offset: 2px;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**How It Works:**
|
||||
1. **User hovers over PDF button (action bar)**
|
||||
2. **JavaScript `mouseenter` fires** → Calls `syncPdfHover(true)`
|
||||
3. **Hyperscript function executes** → Selects ALL PDF buttons (`<.pdf-btn, .menu-pdf-btn/>`)
|
||||
4. **Adds `.pdf-hover-sync` class** → Both action bar AND menu buttons get class
|
||||
5. **CSS transition triggers** → Both buttons highlight simultaneously
|
||||
6. **User moves mouse away**
|
||||
7. **JavaScript `mouseleave` fires** → Calls `syncPdfHover(false)`
|
||||
8. **Hyperscript removes class** → Highlight fades from both buttons
|
||||
|
||||
**Benefits:**
|
||||
- ✅ **Visual coherence** - Related UI elements respond together
|
||||
- ✅ **No refresh needed** - Pure CSS transitions, no DOM manipulation
|
||||
- ✅ **Maintainable** - Logic centralized in hyperscript functions
|
||||
- ✅ **Reusable** - Pattern works for any synchronized hover states
|
||||
- ✅ **Performance** - Class toggling is extremely fast
|
||||
- ✅ **JavaScript-Hyperscript bridge** - Shows how to integrate both paradigms
|
||||
|
||||
**Testing:** `tests/mjs/8-hover-sync.test.mjs` verifies all three hover sync patterns work without page refresh.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Innovation:** This pattern allows JavaScript DOM event listeners to trigger hyperscript logic, bridging the gap between imperative (JavaScript) and declarative (hyperscript) programming models. Essential for complex interactions like hover synchronization across separate UI components.
