Event Handling without javascript about snabbdom-to-html HOT 2 CLOSED

Hey there @thurt

how that could be implemented on the client side WITHOUT javascript?

if you're mainly talking about a form, the answer is easy: natively, the way you did before client-side apps existed :)

The steps you describe seem right to me, I would go with "each actionable element is a kind of form submission which submits to the server", but removing the "kind of" bit since it should be indeed a simple form submission.

The way I do this (even when doing plain websites) is this (in same order):

• write server side logic that should handle form submission
• write the markup for the form (<form action="/some/path" method="post">...)
• make it work enterily without JS, first
• implement your client-side JS code on top of that same markup, overriding "native" behaviour
• reuse server side logic

I hope this is useful to you.

Thank you @acstll. This is a very interesting train of thought. I will
experiment more on this when I have time.

I wonder about making a generic transformer function. In other words, a
person does not have to pre-write the form (i think you are suggesting
this). They just need to pass their vtree as a parameter, and the server
endpoint as a parameter, and they get in return a html string to send to a
js-disabled client.

The generic transformer would have to traverse vtree and replace "on"
methods with appropriate form elements.

What do you think? Its an idea anyway
