    so that an hx-post can generate a message
  • h
    it's not perfect - there's a case where you can
  • h
    generate a message on page load, generate a message w/ hx-post, and load a boosted url
  • h
    and the boosted url can't carry over the state from the prior page
  • h
    but it's good enough I think
  • c
    Ah I see, that's a smart idea. I wasn't sure that would play along with the messages cookie (which as far as I know determines the new messages to render)
  • c
    So with your solution the messages generated after clicking on boosted links and forms will not be generated?
  • h
    they will be
  • h
    you'll just handle them like normal
  • h
    by rendering the page with the messages inserted into it
  • h
    I don't use the cookie storage, I've been using session storage since it's default
  • h
    the cookie storage is an interesting idea but then we'd have to use js to render the message right
  • h
    no it's encrypted so you still render server side
  • h
    I'm not sure if using sessionstorage vs cookie storage makes a difference
  • c
    Oh ok cool so they work as usual then
  • c
    yeah I'm not sure how those cookies work if I'm honest, haven't looked much into it. Up until now I've only been rendering messages as usual in the templates, never really had to stop and think how the system works. But of course now htmx changes that 😀
  • h
    well I think as long as you're rendering server side it doesn't change too much
  • h
    the docs say the cookies are encrypted like the session id, so I don't think there's a way to grab the data client side
  • p
    I still don't know the use of oob-swap 🥴
  • h
    it's easy - imagine you have a login form that you're submitting with hx-post
  • h
    the form has username/password, and after submitting it you want to return a piece of html that says like "thanks for logging in today"
  • h
    that's a normal hx-post - submit a form, get an html snippet to replace it with
  • h
    but say you ALSO want to update the little "hey " in the top right corner
  • h
    that hello message isn't connected to the form - it's totally removed from the section of the dom that you just submitted
  • h
    OOB lets you piggyback the new "hey " message, outside of the new html and stick that into a totally different part of the dom
  • p
    Oh, thanks allot. You really explain like I'm 5.
  • a
    That is an invaluable skill - being able to explain something simply 👏👏
