    One thing That i just realised today that I could do is create a global loading icon / text for the website in the top navbar, by just setting hx-indicator on the body.. This means that whenever any htmx request is going on the page the top navbar says 'loading..' .. and with tailing i can add 'animation-pulse' to it for a nice effect.
  • s
    its also nice that htmx doesn't eat the event if the click is from say the middle mouse button so by setting href and hx-get appropriately i can make a nav link that loads partial data on left click but also opens a new pag4e on middle mouse click.

    \> tfw I should be improving documentation, but I'm just making memes
  • s
    its for an internal site so i can't show the examples but im also working on another site for myself with htmx so maybe i have examples to show later 🙂
  • s
    I think my point is just that the real value of htmx is how well it fits together, so the snippets on the site doesn't do it justice,
  • m
    🙂 Yes, I feel like I don't communicate that very well in the docs. The current docs were pretty much a stream of consciousness dump as I reimplemented intercooler. I kind of feel like a book would be good, with more stress on exactly what you are talking about: how things fit together.

    or I could just make more memes

    🤔

    The world really needs a js framework ranking by meme value.
  • s
    Still better than github stars
  • m
    💯 % fact

    all those book publishers lurking on this discord, hmu I'll make you at least $48
  • s
    oh I did find a htmx problem I can't solve
  • s
    imagine i have a navbar which returns on the partial html for a page on the site
  • s
    this page needs js, I can inline it in a script tag and it runs fine, however I would prefer (for obvious caching and security reasons) to run the script from an external file and just include it as the src in the script tag
  • s
    but I think for that to work htmx needs to rip the script tag out of the html and append it to the node that it is inseerting as a child element. however saying that i see a problem in removing it again when going to another page.
  • m
    Can you encapsulate it in a function, include it with the initial page, and invoke the function from a script tag?
  • s
    i mean I could but my design goal would be to entirely avoid inline scripts.
  • s
    it seems silly that an inline script as innerhtml runs just fine but a script tag with src="blabla" doesn't run.. but I am not an expert in this domain.
  • m
    Yeah, it should work I agree. By default the DOM swap doesn't do it though, so we have to make it happen out of band.
  • s
    I can also see some issues with the history and runnning the script many times.
  • s
    ya I think I just need to go back and think over what im doing, there probably is a clean solution im not seeing yet.

    Inspired by the above meme

    I think we need to join forces with unpoly, hotwire to get a own category in the StateOfJS: https://2020.stateofjs.com/en-US/ What could be the heading of this category?
  • b
    HASSLE-free (Hypermedia as an Absurd Superfluous State Language that's Expendable)
  • b
    Kidding of course, but let's please find something catchier than HATEOS!
  • b
    HTML-centric Libraries?
  • s
    htmx doesn't set any headers on the request made on history miss?
  • s
    at least to me it seems that the request which generated the element in the history and the request fired when the history is missed are not equivalent.
