Requests can be triggered in different ways.
The default is click, but you can fire a requests upon any browser-generated event, like mouseenter or keyup or even a specific keypress.
You do that using hx-trigger:
<button
hx-get='/data'
hx-swap='innerHTML'
hx-target='#data'
hx-trigger='mouseenter'>
Load fresh data
</button>
It doesn’t have to be an event.
htmx offers other ways to fire events, like polling. Use every 5s to fire a GET request every 5 seconds: hx-trigger='every 5s'
Or use load to load just once after 10 seconds: hx-trigger='load delay:10s'

Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out
merge vs rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up
something any time you have to do something in
Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT or random people’s
answer on StackOverflow to fix your problems?
Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need
to use, but few of us really master it. I
created this course to improve your Git (and
GitHub) knowledge at a radical level. Launching
