Hx-Location docs clarification needed
Ackos95 opened this issue · 0 comments
Documentation about Hx-Location
header states that behavior on the client would be the same as if user clicked on a boosted link (see bellow)
But when trying to use it on a project, I've found that Hx-Boosted
header is not being sent with the request to the "Hx-Location"
. After a quick glance through the code I found that "boosted" flag is set when sending a request only based on the element that is "triggering event" (in case of redirection I'd assume elt
would be document.body
, which most likely won't have boost
flag on it)
const eltIsBoosted = getInternalData(elt).boosted
// ....
/** @type HtmxRequestConfig */
const requestConfig = {
boosted: eltIsBoosted,
// ....
Should there be an exception in code for redirections, or maybe a change in the documentation removing boost references in the descriptions?
In my opinion, there should be boosted flag sent with the redirection request (after Hx-Location
), with a potential discussion of how to handle Hx-Location
target overrides, mainly because I think Hx-Boosted
is nicely used on the back-end to decide whether to render full page template or just a partial one (e.g. isHxRequest && !isHxBoost ? renderPartial() : renderFull()
)
