Using HTMX fragments instead of splitting into view?

See docs https://github.com/michalsn/codeigniter-htmx/blob/develop/docs/view_fragments.md
Why doesn't anyone use the ability to use fragments? The code is a bit longer, but the whole HTML is in one template.
@michalsn and I have improved the work of the templates, I think there will be no problems.

When you use view fragments, the readability of the view files is slightly affected. Also, AFAIR, we use the theme system here with some options of reading views from different places for flexibility. Overall, splitting everything into smaller views rather than using view fragments makes it more pleasant to work with - at least in our case, I think.

Look at it another way. I have to look for a piece of the template elsewhere.

See http://localhost:8080/admin/settings/users

<?= $this->extend('master') ?>

<?= $this->section('main'); ?>
<?php $this->fragment('fr-main'); ?>
    <h1 class="text-lg font-semibold mb-4">Users Settings</h1>

    <div id="form-wrap">
        <?= $this->include('admin/settings/_users_form') ?>
    </div>
<?php $this->endFragment(); ?>
<?= $this->endSection(); ?>

• Navigate to Users from the browser prompt. You will get the full page. html > body...
• Click on the link in the sidebar and only #main content is received in response. The H1 header is lost from the template. This leaves an unnecessary header block from the previous page (if any).

With fragments, we can specify that we want to get a page fragment of only the main section, including the subtitle (h1, #main).

We can add swap OOB. But for this you need to have the ID of the elements. It's more complicated than that
