Using bootstrap-datepicker with HTMX


I am trying to use bootstrap-datepicker with HTMX.

On date change, I want to use the date as an argument with hx-post, but I have no idea how to approach this.

I have a JSFiddle with a working bootstrap-datepicker, and am trying to post to /dateurl on the changeDate event, with the value of getDate method.

Am I even close? I was trying to use the sortable example on the htmx site as a starting point. I guess I'm not understanding how to actually do something when the event fires.

Any help will be much appreciated.


Solution

  • thank you for this jsfiddle, this way it was easy to play around.

    I found this solution.

    <input type="text" hx-trigger="change" hx-post="/dateurl"
           onchange="htmx.trigger(this, 'change')">
    

    Not nice that the event needs to be dispatched manually. Maybe there is a better solution. But for me it did not work without the onchange attribute.
