hx-indicator via JS API

[jacobsorme]

Is it possible to specify the equivalent of hx-indicator from the JS API ajax()?

https://htmx.org/api/#ajax

Ended up using this:

document.getElementById("id").classList.add("htmx-request")
htmx.ajax(...).then(() => document.getElementById("id").classList.remove("htmx-request")

Works fine.

Otherwise you'd need to specify the source property in the context object you pass, referencing something that exists in the DOM and has hx-indicator on it.
For something slightly shorter than what you have, you can use htmx.addClass and htmx.removeClass:

htmx.addClass("#id", "htmx-request")
htmx.ajax(...).then(() => htmx.removeClass("#id", "htmx-request"))
