Dialogs can be triggered with the hx-prompt
and hx-confirm
attributes. These are triggered by the user interaction that would trigger the AJAX request, but the request is only sent if the dialog is accepted.
<div>
<button class="btn primary"
hx-post="/submit"
hx-prompt="Enter a string"
hx-confirm="Are you sure?"
hx-target="#response">
Prompt Submission
</button>
<div id="response"></div>
</div>
The value provided by the user to the prompt dialog is sent to the server in a HX-Prompt
header. In this case, the server simply echos the user input back.
