# ADR 001: Frontend Architecture - HTMX + AlpineJS
|
||||
|
||||
## Status
|
||||
Accepted
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
The ThrillWiki platform needs a frontend architecture that:
|
||||
- Provides dynamic user interactions
|
||||
- Maintains server-side rendering benefits
|
||||
- Enables progressive enhancement
|
||||
- Keeps complexity manageable
|
||||
- Ensures fast page loads
|
||||
- Supports SEO requirements
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
Implement frontend using HTMX + AlpineJS + Tailwind CSS instead of a traditional SPA framework (React, Vue, Angular).
|
||||
|
||||
### Technology Choices
|
||||
1. HTMX
|
||||
- Server-side rendering with dynamic updates
|
||||
- Progressive enhancement
|
||||
- Simple integration with Django templates
|
||||
- Reduced JavaScript complexity
|
||||
|
||||
2. AlpineJS
|
||||
- Lightweight client-side interactivity
|
||||
- Simple state management
|
||||
- Easy integration with HTMX
|
||||
- Minimal learning curve
|
||||
|
||||
3. Tailwind CSS
|
||||
- Utility-first styling
|
||||
- Consistent design system
|
||||
- Easy customization
|
||||
- Optimized production builds
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive
|
||||
1. Performance
|
||||
- Faster initial page loads
|
||||
- Reduced client-side processing
|
||||
- Smaller JavaScript bundle
|
||||
- Better Core Web Vitals
|
||||
|
||||
2. Development
|
||||
- Simpler architecture
|
||||
- Faster development cycles
|
||||
- Easier debugging
|
||||
- Better Django integration
|
||||
|
||||
3. Maintenance
|
||||
- Less complex state management
|
||||
- Reduced dependency management
|
||||
- Easier team onboarding
|
||||
- More maintainable codebase
|
||||
|
||||
4. SEO
|
||||
- Server-rendered content
|
||||
- Better crawler compatibility
|
||||
- Improved accessibility
|
||||
- Faster indexing
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative
|
||||
1. Limited Complex UI
|
||||
- More complex for rich interactions
|
||||
- Less ecosystem support
|
||||
- Fewer UI components available
|
||||
- Some patterns need custom solutions
|
||||
|
||||
2. Development Patterns
|
||||
- New patterns needed
|
||||
- Different mental model
|
||||
- Some developer familiarity issues
|
||||
- Custom solutions needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives Considered
|
||||
|
||||
### React SPA
|
||||
- Pros:
|
||||
* Rich ecosystem
|
||||
* Component libraries
|
||||
* Developer familiarity
|
||||
* Advanced tooling
|
||||
- Cons:
|
||||
* Complex setup
|
||||
* Heavy client-side
|
||||
* SEO challenges
|
||||
* Performance overhead
|
||||
|
||||
### Vue.js
|
||||
- Pros:
|
||||
* Progressive framework
|
||||
* Good ecosystem
|
||||
* Easy learning curve
|
||||
* Good performance
|
||||
- Cons:
|
||||
* Still too heavy
|
||||
* Complex build setup
|
||||
* Server integration challenges
|
||||
* Unnecessary complexity
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Approach
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration Strategy
|
||||
1. Server-Side
|
||||
```python
|
||||
# Django View
|
||||
class ParksView(TemplateView):
|
||||
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
|
||||
return JsonResponse() if is_htmx() else render()
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Client-Side
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- Template -->
|
||||
<div hx-get="/parks"
|
||||
hx-trigger="load"
|
||||
x-data="{ filtered: false }">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Optimization
|
||||
1. Initial Load
|
||||
- Server-side rendering
|
||||
- Progressive enhancement
|
||||
- Critical CSS inline
|
||||
- Deferred JavaScript
|
||||
|
||||
2. Subsequent Interactions
|
||||
- Partial page updates
|
||||
- Smart caching
|
||||
- Optimistic UI updates
|
||||
- Background processing
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring and Success Metrics
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Metrics
|
||||
- First Contentful Paint < 1.5s
|
||||
- Time to Interactive < 2s
|
||||
- Core Web Vitals compliance
|
||||
- Server response times
|
||||
|
||||
### Development Metrics
|
||||
- Development velocity
|
||||
- Bug frequency
|
||||
- Code complexity
|
||||
- Build times
|
||||
|
||||
