Is it a must to use a JS Framework on front-end for a project with frequent end user interactions?
I am considering my options regarding a future project and I appreciate hearing from forum members regarding this. I am planning to build a site which utilizes heavily content filters (categories). The user would find what he’s looking for by making some check- marks, search terms and / or selecting categories.
My question, I want the site experience to be fast and easy. Can this be achieved with pure Phoenix HTML or would it be better to develop the back-end as Phoenix API and write the front-end with a JS framework?
Which contrib. modules would you suggest to use in conjunction with Phoenix HTML to build a project like this one?

Depending on use-cases I highly recommend either Drab or Unpoly.js (Unpoly.js is a bit more SEO friendly as it ‘lifts’ static pages but is otherwise fully backwards compatible with no javascript at all).
For note, Unpoly.js is like Turbolinks but a bit more declarative in design, a few more features, less rails-focused and more general, etc…
