The path-deps Extension

This extension supports expressing inter-element dependencies based on paths, inspired by the intercooler.js dependencies mechanism. When this extension is installed an element can express a dependency on another path by using the path-deps property and then setting hx-trigger to path-deps:

  <div hx-get="/example"
       hx-trigger="path-deps"
       path-deps="/foo/bar">...</div>

This div will fire a GET request to /example when any other element issues a mutating request (that is, a non-GET request like a POST) to /foo/bar or any sub-paths of that path.

You can use a * to match any path component:

  <div hx-get="/example"
       hx-trigger="path-deps"
       path-deps="/contacts/*">...</div>
