    Any reason why my form does not get POSTed when empty or not valid (eg leaving a required field empty)? via this command: 
    htmx.ajax('POST', '{% url "accounts:add" %}', {target:'body', swap: 'none', source: form});
    The same works fine if the form is filled and is valid

    In basic HTML some will not be posted if they are empty or disabled or whatever. Likely not an htmx thing.
  • g
    hm. I see.
  • f
    Empty inputs aren't submitted to POST, the common way to assure that there's always all inputs in the POST is to precede an input with a 
    hidden input
    using the same name and a predetermined value. Should the actual input be empty, the hidden's value is taken to POST, otherwise the last element of multiple elements using the same name is passed to POST.

    If I have a template that I swap into the page using htmx, and within the template there is a setTimeout or setInterval, is there a good way to cancel the interval or timer before the element unloads (due to say a user clicking to request a different element to be loaded)??

    Maybe you want to call clearTimeout(timeout-id) on button.click() You can get a reference for the timeout-id by calling, for instance, console.log(id), inside the timeout handler

    I've just refactored an old piece of code in which the input checkboxes did not have any value. There was instead a jquery script selecting the attribute name of the checked boxed. 👌

    How do we feel about stimulus.hotwired.dev? I sort of have to steal a widget that uses it and it needs to resize and reposition itself. But the widget produces normal dom events which is nice, although always on document. I'll fix that part.

    Yet another javascript framework I've never heard of.

    No strong feelings on it, it's a bit heavier than https://hyperscript.org which has advantages and disadvantages depending on what you are trying to do. Makes more sense than hyperscript for component-type stuff. So long as it is triggering events properly it should play well w/ htmx and the rest of the DOM-oriented ecosystem. I know that contexte used it in their Mother of All htmx Demos: https://htmx.org/essays/a-real-world-react-to-htmx-port/ so I regard that as a strong vote of confidence.

    Ah cool.
  • b
    Any way to trigger PUT when checking checkbox and DELETE when unchecking said checkbox?
  • b
    I am in a place that is not elegant so I will probably turn this into a normal POST form that does both on clicking button.
  • m
    doable w/ the 
    htmx:configRequest
    event, but yes, this is not a place of honor

    hello, I am having trouble with datatables
  • q
    I'm using DataTables.net to add search, pagination, and filtering functionality. table rows are pulled from the database using
  • q
  • q
    table not rendered as datatable
  • q
    appreciate all the help
  • m
    You probably need to init the datatable in an 
    htmx.onLoad()
    block: https://htmx.org/docs/#3rd-party

    I was hoping I could co-locate the code in the template that was swapped in. Something like an attribute of "hx-before-swap" where I could execute the handler to cancel the timeouts. If I do it on the button click, the code ends up in another area where it might be confusing to understand why it's there.

    If I understand correctly you have a template that you swap into the page. It shouldnt be so hard to reach the html node you want starting from the template. You coud simply add an id to the element you would like to trigger the clear interval. In this way you can reach the element from whenever you want thanks to its id

    Would htmx be a good choice for analytics page? Like Google Analytics
  • s
    Maybe anyone done this before, what libraries did you use?
  • h
    is there some way to set a default value for the user input on hx-prompt? cant find a test demonstrating this
  • m
    not currently, unfortunately
  • m
    I don't see why not, an analytics page is mostly static content anyway
  • s
    Graphs and diagrams are usually client-rendered I guess. At least I couldn't find a server-rendered graphs yet
  • g
    The data for the graphs can be sent in the HTML though.
