Datastar
Overview
Datastar is a lightweight frontend framework that enables backend-driven, interactive UIs through a hypermedia-first approach. It combines backend reactivity (similar to htmx) with frontend reactivity (like Alpine.js) using standard HTML data-* attributes.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Adding frontend interactivity to server-rendered HTML
- Building reactive UIs driven by backend state
- Using Datastar with gomponents in Go applications
- Working with Server-Sent Events (SSE) for real-time updates
Prerequisite: When using Datastar with Go, also use the gomponents skill for HTML component patterns.
