Micro-Frontend Hybrids: Embedding Interactive Components in HTMX Shells

1. Deep Architecture

Not all page features fit simple HTML swaps. For complex interactive elements (like video editors), we can embed micro-frontends (Vue/React widgets) inside HTMX-rendered pages. This keeps most of the page lightweight while providing rich interactivity where needed.

3. The Code

<div hx-get="/video/editor-shell/" hx-trigger="load">
    <!-- Renders editor wrapper, loading the widget bundle on demand -->
    <div id="interactive-editor"></div>
    <script src="/static/js/video_editor_widget.js" defer></script>
</div>
