    i don't see one right now
  • m
    however, it would be easy enough to add an event
  • m
    that would let you deboost dynamically
  • m
    you willing to write some code?
  • g
    Sure
  • m
  • m
    here, we could trigger an event
  • g
    Another option is to actually add hx-boost=false to all remote links. But that's a bit tedious and easy to forget
  • m
    and check the return value to allow cancelling the boost
  • g
    I can take a look at it later. Just evaluating if we are going to use hx-boost at all atm.
  • m
    👍
  • m
    if you are already in rails, turbolinks might be more with-the-grain
  • g
    Yeah... But turbolinks is a bit complex. And most of the integration requires using ActionCable which requires hosting your own ruby based websocket server... Which has a bunch of problems on its own
  • g
    We also have been burned earlier with using too much stuff that are tied together. Makes upgrades painful
  • m
    also, the excellent list that @User has put together here: https://github.com/rajasegar/awesome-htmx includes a rails plugin: https://github.com/rootstrap/htmx-rails
  • g
    Saw that. The only thing the plugin is doing is installing htmx 🙂
  • m
    Ah, interesting
  • m
    🙂 sounds like it needs a contributor
  • g
    Another thing that I noticed. If I am on a page and have scrolled down a bit and then press a link on our top menu (that I set to hx-preserve) then the new page will be at the same scroll position as I was on the previous page
  • s
    personally i just use push url instead of boost anyway, i tend to prefer control descriptive code over inheritance magic.
  • s
    generally pays off in the long run.
  • s
    i did use boost on the parent element of the navbar, because that is easy and isolated
  • m
    Probably depends on the target. You can control the scroll w/ 
    scroll
    and 
    swap
    in `hx-swap`: https://htmx.org/attributes/hx-swap/
  • m
    Yes, I tend to agree with that. @glamorous-honey-42686 if you see a general pattern here of when boosting is useful and when it is not, please let me know so we can think about expressing it declaratively.
  • g
    Thanks for the input... I'm looking at boost mainly for one feature request we have. That is to have a persisten div with a video playing etc even when navigating around the site. The combination of hx-boost and hx-preserve seemed liked it would do the trick
  • m
    Interesting
  • s
    You can create the behavior of hx-boost with other hx tags though ,it is ultimetely just some shorthand magic, I think that is worth noting inthe docs 🙂
  • m
    OK, well, let me know if the event would help or if there are any other improvements you can see
  • g
    Thanks 👍
  • m
    I am planning on cutting 1.3.0 in the next week or so, so we could probably squeeze something in
