Excellent. Got this working in the #ConjuredInk #Rust #RustLang #Axum server.

If you just wrap any plain

with , it’ll submit that form as a fetch instead. Server-side, a middleware checks for a header and sets a flag, and you can use that to only partially render the response.

Without JS, you get the some whole page back, just like normal. With working JS, you only get the "patch", and then overwrites the matching nodes.

This is a hybrid of htmx and htmz that uses a web component instead of a global thing with odd attribute annotations, and unlike htmz, lets you have programmatic lifecycle hooks, set that header so you can share the exact same endpoint, etc.

And it’s still just a tiny, plain, standalone Web Component with no deps. It's a couple of kb mingz, and I'll probably golf it around a bit to make it smaller.
