is it possible to use hx-trigger with JS API - htmx.ajax() ?

[BobSquarePants]

Hi everyone,

is it possible to limit the rate (trough throttle or delay) like with hx-trigger but with the JS API htmx.ajax() ?

I've tried something like

window.htmx.ajax('POST', '/somewhere', {'target':'#here', 'swap':'innerHTML','event':'click throttle:2s'})

so it's work, but without any restrictions on the throttling.
(I guess that the name for JS API for trigger is event ? I see no reference of trigger for the JS API )

Thanks.

There would need to be a way to call getTriggerSpecs() from context data, I guess.

Could be added to an event object or a new parameter like "specs". :)

I wonder if you could omit the event in the ajax request and add a hx-trigger attribute to the target element.

Or, if an event is defined, htmx may dynamically set the event value as string to the target before processing. This assumes that the ajaxHelper is capable to process this. I’m on mobile right now and cannot really check this.
