Ahh got it, yeah in this case that makes a ton of sense. No way to know with emails about uniqueness constraints until it hits the backend anyways.
I've been playing around with local demo, is it possible through extensions to make a wrapper that can perhaps compose GraphQL query inputs from forms?
- recursivedoubts 6y agoyeah, you could use the json encoding extension as a starting point: https://htmx.org/extensions/json-enc/ https://htmx.org/extensions/json-enc/
- gavinray 6y agoI was just trying that, it seemed not to be working for some reason. I manually copy-pasted the source code into my app, and got: htmx.min.js:1 TypeError: Cannot set property 'Content-Type' of undefined at Object.encodeParameters ((index):11) at htmx.min.js:1 The code for it is: xhr.requestHeaders['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' But I believe it should be xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json') When I do this, it seems to work https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/setRequestHeader https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequ...
- recursivedoubts 6y agolooks like there's a bug in the json-enc extension: it's relying on the test mock which has a requestHeaders property that a real xhr won't. so the tests passed but it doesn't work irl... good catch! want to submit a pull request fix?
- gavinray 6y agoSure =D Done! Also this extension API is pretty straightforward, the element reference and parameters are right in the args so it's an easy mapping to GraphQL query strings from there. Awesome! I was able to get a minimal version working using just this (with json-enc extension patch): <input type="text" name="query" hx-ext="json-enc" hx-post="http://localhost:8080/v1/graphql" hx-trigger="keyup changed delay:500ms" hx-target="#search-results" placeholder="<GRAPHQL QUERY TEXT HERE>" /> <div id="search-results"></div> Pretty cool
- recursivedoubts 6y agoi'd love a graphql extension for the next release, if you are interested

- schwartzworld 6y agoFront-end validations should always be viewed as a suggestion. the server is the real gatekeeper
- gavinray 6y agoI should have rephrased it haha, I more meant the act of sending each set of keystrokes validation as a server-side request. No doubt that the backend is going to be the ultimate judge when "submit" is pressed.
