Nex is a minimalist web framework for building server-rendered Elixir applications with HTMX.
It favours a small API, file-based routing and HTML-first development without the complexity of a large client-side JavaScript stack.
The framework supports pages, reusable components, JSON APIs and real-time communication. It is aimed at internal tools, dashboards, independent products and other applications where server-side rendering and rapid development are priorities.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- HTMX-first approach with HTML rendered on the server.
- File-based routing with dynamic and catch-all path segments.
- Unified
use Nexentry point for pages, APIs and components. - HEEx templates with support for partial page updates.
- Automatic CSRF protection for state-changing requests.
- JSON APIs with a simple request interface.
- Server-Sent Events and WebSocket support.
- Helpers for cookies, sessions, flash messages, redirects and HTMX events.
