Use when adding interactivity to a server-rendered app (FastAPI/Jinja, Django, Rails, Laravel, Go templates, Express) without adopting a JS framework — hx-get/post/put/delete with hx-target, hx-swap and hx-trigger, returning HTML fragments instead of JSON, out-of-band swaps, active search, infinite scroll, inline edit and polling. NOT a client-state SPA with routing and a store (that is `react` or `nextjs`).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# htmx: hypermedia-driven UIs The server owns all application state and renders HTML. The client is dumb: it swaps server-rendered fragments into the DOM. There is no JSON API for the UI, no client store, no virtual DOM, no client router. If you find yourself returning JSON and rendering it with JavaScript, you have stopped doing htmx and started building an SPA — use a different tool. **The unit of work is one request, described by four attributes on one element:** 1. a verb — `hx-get` / `hx-post` / `hx-put` / `hx-patch` / `hx-delete` (the URL) 2. `hx-target` — which DOM node receives the response (CSS selector or `this`) 3. `hx-swap` — how the response is placed (default `innerHTML`) 4. `hx-trigger` — on what event (default: natural — `click` for buttons, `submit` for forms, `change` for inputs) **Versions (verify before pinning).** htmx 2.0.x is current stable (2.0.10 latest 2.x line); v1 (1.9.x) is legacy, kept only for IE/old-browser support. htmx v4 is in beta targeting Summer 2026 and changes some defaults (default swap behavior, config) — do **not** write to v4 yet. Pin to 2.x: ```html …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/htmx@sha256:e49d1cc50b8b5c9cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.8954115, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
