    or just a lot of local state?
  • o
    Does placing htmx in body or adding 
    defer
    to the script tag potentially break something?
  • r
    lots of local state, it's a date picker with a start + end date, so when the start date is selected it triggers a request while the view stays open. when the request completes it swaps the input the javascript component is attached to and things break
  • m
    mmm, yes
  • r
    does hx-preserve preserve the DOM node itself or just ensure the 
    outerHTML
    is the same after the request?
  • m
    hx-preserve keeps the same node in the DOM
  • m
    however it does detach the node
  • m
    which can screw a lot of state up
  • m
    I'm not sure a morph will help here, since this is mutated DOM state
  • m
    thinking
  • r
    okay thank you for the help that makes sense, I understand what's going on now so the swap oob approach seems like a reasonable work around 😄
  • r
    would love any other ideas though too!
  • m
    mmm
  • m
    we could create a custom swap
  • m
    and effectively do an innerHTML swap on the thing but ignore that one element
  • m
    trying to think if that can generalize
  • m
    the problem is you want to keep it rooted from the ground up
  • m
    mmm
  • m
    it's like you want a morph + an ignore
  • m
    morph all the HTML around this thing, but don't morph this thing
  • m
    lemme look at idiomorph and see if there is something to do that
  • m
  • m
    we could have this return a boolean
  • m
    and not morph if it returns false
  • m
    this would let us annotate 
    the-really-bad-thing
    and leave it alone, while still morphing all the HTML around it
  • r
    yeah that's exactly what I'd want - tell the morph just literally do not do anything with the node no matter what
  • m
    how badly do you want this
  • m
    and are you willing to write some code
  • m
    we would need to modify idiomorph.js and idiomorph-htmx.js
  • m
    also, idiomorph is relatively new
