Add ic-refresh

[nzjrs]

I'm currently serving a server generated image from my webapp.

To refresh this image at regular intervals I am setting ic-poll on the parent div, and then returning the complete <img src='/XXX.jpg'> text. This then subsequently causes a request to /XXX.jpg where I can return the newly updated generated image.

This seems a little roundabout. I was wondering if adding something like ic-attr-refresh or ic-src-refresh to intercooler.js made sense. ic-src-refresh for example, would replace or append the src attribute the normal "?timestamp=" + new Date().getTime() trick to entice a refresh.

Hope this makes sense and conceptually is compatible with intercooler's view of the world.

This makes good sense, but I can't come up with a good syntax for it that doesn't get close to what the jQuery would look like. You need to cache bust to make the request work and that makes the syntax difficult.

I like the idea, just don't see how to implement it cleanly yet.

django like queries? ic-poll__src, ic-poll__data-values
this will replace attribute src with ic-get results and will replace attribute data-values from ic-get results
