xhr-fetch-proxy

A proxy for XMLHttpRequest (XHR) that uses the Fetch API under the hood

Why does this even exist?

htmx uses XHR to make network requests. This becomes a problem if you want to allow htmx to call an async function instead of making a network call. By proxying XHR with fetch, we can intercept network calls and call an async function instead of making the network call.

But why would you even want that?

This allows you to use htmx with a local-first "backend" without Internet. It also enables you to use htmx when integrating with Tauri and Axum.
