JSON response from hx-post?

[otonoton]

Is there a way to get a pre-parsed JSON response in the after-request handler? I assume it's simply not setting responseType="json" in the XHR.

Thanks

Hey,

Disclaimer: didn't test the following at all

Well honestly I think it might really be this simple! See XMLHttpRequest: responseType property.

You could hook to the htmx:beforeSend event and override the value of event.detail.xhr.responseType

If you only need to do that for certain requests, you could also check if event.detail.requestConfig.headers contains a Accept header set to application/json for example.

You could then implement a custom extension to automatically do that for certain elements, or roll your own logic as to when to set the response type to JSON or not.

Hope this helps!
