  • m
    two options
  • m
    as well as many more, we've have it all here at castle htmx
  • f
    Yeah that's what I'd considered originally, still send the table and add oob content to replace the form
  • m
    "expand the target" is always viable too
  • f
    Presumably in that case the server wouldn't change the response code (or would it still make sense to do that)?
  • m
    it probably doesn't matter
  • f
    It was a thought, just expanding the target and always refreshing the table, but the table also polls for updates (multiuser) so refreshing the table normally wouldn't remove any 'in progress' content so I wanted to avoid that
  • m
    another option!
  • m
    ready?
  • m
    return the form the normal way
  • f
    I like option 4 or 5 of 3 🙂
  • f
    Ignore that it's an htmx request and just return the page?
  • m
    and, if an element is successfully added, trigger an event 
    refreshTable
  • m
    then, on the table, you can listen for a 
    refreshTable
    event from that form
  • m
    to trigger a refresh
  • m
    That'd be pretty slick
  • m
    let me think a bit more about it, can you give me a skeleton of the html?
  • f
    But then the server would need to send a positive response (that it was added), or refresh the overall page?
  • f
    Sure:
  • m
    yes, the form would just rerender either with errors or clean (sounds like this is a permanent part of the UI?)
  • m
    and then would trigger a client side event to cause the table to refresh
  • m
    the table is also polling, right?
  • m
    this would be advanced htmx
  • m
    😑
  • f
    Yes, table is polling very frequently, the form sits above the table adding to the table
  • m
    easy thing is just to expand the replacement target to include both the form and the table, but this sounds more fun
  • f
    Well if we're getting advanced I'm also tryign to figure out why when I replace a single 
    <tr></tr>
    on my table, it returns the browser to the top of the page. But that's a whole separate thing.
  • m
    sounds like scroll state issue, we can figure that out too
  • f
    Yeah, but if it's expanded the when it does it's 30second poll if you were in the midst of typing it would be erased making it difficult to add an item.
  • m
    keep the polling on the table
