05/05/2021, 1:43 PMany chance for a config option to disable htmx buttons while the request is in flight. - s

05/05/2021, 1:43 PMI really don't want users double clicking any buttons that creates new ressources. - n

05/05/2021, 1:47 PMit can be done with very little js/hs but a built in would be very nice - s

05/05/2021, 1:48 PMya i am using htmx because it allows me to have very little code around my html elements 🙂 - n

05/05/2021, 1:50 PMactually it might be a nice use case for an extension - p

05/05/2021, 4:32 PMI do same-url if that url is valid to visit, this makes middle mouse button work - s

05/05/2021, 4:33 PMHTMx seems to have a lot of trouble with multiple requests in flight, specially easy to trigger with a slow server / slow request - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:34 PMif two requests attempt to swap out the same element the first one seems to disrupt the second and the second request ends up swapping the history-elt / body and not the target. - s

05/05/2021, 4:35 PMI just made a htmx kanban board where after moving a task it swaps out a stat element, this rbeaks if you move a second task before the previous task move request is done. - s

05/05/2021, 4:36 PMI can probably work around it but using server side targetting with oob swaps instead of client side with hx targets. - p
plain-kangaroo-26043
05/05/2021, 4:39 PMFor something like a kanban I'd probably use Sortable and do it all client side with AJAX updates rather than htmx (other than initial load) - p

05/05/2021, 4:40 PMI've just implemented a drag and drop component that way, very simple and no lag - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:40 PMwell I am using sortable but im just doing the updates via the htmx api - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:41 PMim sure it would work if I did it entirely in js, but the functionality here is so simple if htmx breaks on it then it can't really be used for anyrthing beyond simple navigation. - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:43 PMin general htmx gets pretty ugly if a client ever submits requests in parallel - p
plain-kangaroo-26043
05/05/2021, 4:43 PMOf course I'm not doing anything with websockets which is a different matter - p
plain-kangaroo-26043
05/05/2021, 4:43 PMi.e. you need it to update for other clients - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:44 PMin this case its a simple personal todo board for personal tasks - p
plain-kangaroo-26043
05/05/2021, 4:45 PMSo with Sortable you see the change immediately as you move the cards around, so htmx doesn't need to do anything. Just ping the new order of items back to the server after the action. - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:45 PMright - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:45 PMand I aslo have a stat display on the top, which I swap out with htmx, is this worse than updating itwith js, sure, but it is also very fast to prototype - s
sparse-musician-64201
05/05/2021, 4:46 PMand if the cliebnt moves two cards before the server responds from the first move - s

05/05/2021, 4:46 PMhtmx fails and makes the swap on the body instead of the stat display
