About this demo site

This site is a simple demonstration of how Elide can streamline the creation of dynamic sites with Laravel and HTMX.

There is a database which is seeded with a number of movies. Any favourites or "profile" information is only stored in the session - nothing user related is stored in the datbase.

Some of the things demonstrated

• Conventional rendered responses:
  • A full page layout when non-AJAX (e.g., someone opens the home page in a new tab)
  • Only partials to be updated when AJAX (e.g., someone clicks the button to show the next page of movies, or added a movie to their favourites)
• Partial only responses (e.g., someone opens their user profile dialog)
• Setting up partials which will always be provided for AJAX requests, non-AJAX requests, or both; e.g.:
  • The navigation links might always be returned so that it can update the active page link
  • The favourites star might only be returned when the user's favourites have changed
