hx-response wrap: HTMX 4 feature request

[yousefgitter]

This might seem a little strange but I would like to wrap the htmx response with hx-response. I would prefer not to have to hx-retarget with headers.

<!-- hx-target or HX-Retarget is assumeed the requesting element no need to specify-->
<hx-response hx-reswap="outerHTML">
<div class="completed">
  Thank you for completing our form and buying our product
</div>
</hx-response>

<hx-partial hx-target="#basket" hx-swap="outerHTML">
  <div class="empty">
    0
  </div>
</hx-partial>

I've figured the best way to do this is to implement this is with a custom extension.

That way you even get access to the task array.

https://four.htmx.org/extensions/building/

I didn't find the documentation for the extensions intuitive but I managed to make my own anyway. I just saw the __processPartials function and figured it out

it's interesting how everything's just template[hx] at the end of the day

Also is it just me or is the way the extensions are invoked make it more difficult to debug? Errors don't come out on the console? You have to actually use the debugger to see which line failed?

Hi @yousefgitter I'm glad you were able to make an extension for this.

Yes, extension development is always a little tricky to get the hang of, we will try to continue to improve this with docs, etc.
