    You can use events to handle additional metadata for requests, and if you want to use a JSON based API you can use the client-side-templates extension: https://htmx.org/extensions/client-side-templates/
  • m
    Broadly, however, htmx is going to lean towards using Hypertext as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS) rather than a backing local memory model, if that's what you mean

    hi @User ! Thanks for the answer. My problem stems from the SSE behaviour, that it reconnects when the connection is closed (eg. from the server side), and you have to explicitly call close on the sseEventSource to stop it from reconnecting.
  • m
    The other side of the problem is that I didn't have access to the sseEventSource.
  • m
    I got through the problem with a bit of js and hyperscript, but your suggestion sounds nice (sending custom sse event hx:close closes the event source)
  • m
    another thing with hx-sse that would be nice if request parameters could be sent with hx-vals.
  • m
    A bug I've just encountered, that content sent via sse is not settled (if this is the right phrase). I've countered this by adding 
    settleImmediately(settleInfo.tasks);
    after the 
    selectAndSwap
    in the 
    sseListener
    . It works, but of course I don't know what am I doing.

    Howdy @melodic-queen-60192. I did some of the work on SSE (but I’m certainly NOT a guru). You’ve identified a couple of interesting use cases that we didn’t plan for. Disconnecting from an SSE source sounds like a good idea, and we should think through the best way to make this work.
  • g
    The settling issue is trickier because htmx adds a lot of magic into the settling process, and the SSE code was just trying to sit on top of that.
  • m
    😑
  • g
    Would you be able to add these as tickets on GitHub?
  • m
    \> tfw never used sse but trying to provide sse functionality to ppl who know what sse actually is
  • m
    😏
  • g
    Yeah, right? My app is stalled out for now. So, how about when you end up running point of SSE for people actually using it, but you haven’t gotten you own implementation out the door yet.
  • m
    it isn't any fun unless you kinda don't know what you are doing
  • g
    Still, it’s not rocket science. The browsers already do 90% of the work for us. We just need to add an on/off button
  • g
    Yes. I agree with that too. Once I have all four wheels back on the ground, driving just isn’t as fun anymore.

    and djangoistas?

    hey there is there a way to flash message in htmx just like flask flash()? thanks in advance!
  • m
    I have typically used the HX-Trigger response header for that
  • m
    add a listener on the body and pass the flash message down
  • m
  • m
    i want it to be executed after a fetch so it will notify the user that the data has been added to the db
  • m
    Right. So after a post or some sort of update, right?
  • m
    so this is my script right now
  • m
    yeah
  • m
    is it possible to add it here?
  • m
    Im kinda new to js (coming from python)
  • m
    mmm, this isn't really happening in htmx
