Htmx-functionality inside dynamically loaded elements, Initialize htmx on Dynamically Loaded Elements via Custom JS

Question

after dynamically loading elements with htmx properties the htmx function don't seem to be activated on the dynamically loaded alements. It's important to know that the dynamically loaded alements are being loaded with custom js and not via htmx, but it needs to work anyways. Or in other words: how can I make htmx be aware of newly added html loaded with non-htmx ajax?

Answer 1

Looks like i already found an answer. htmx.process does the magic. Example using a jquery callback function:

$('#mydiv').load( url2load , function() {
        if (typeof htmx !== "undefined") { 
            htmx.process(document.getElementById('mydiv'));
        }
    })

Answer 2

To ensure HTMX attributes are processed for dynamically added content, use the htmx.process function with the parent container. This function initializes HTMX attributes for the specified element and its descendants.

document.addEventListener('htmx:afterSwap', function(event) {
    if (event.target.id === 'content-container') {
        htmx.process(event.target);
    }
});

htmx.process: Processes HTMX attributes within the specified element. htmx:afterSwap Event: Fires after HTMX swaps in new content, making it the ideal place to call htmx.process. This approach ensures that dynamically added HTMX elements are properly initialized.
