Reimplement the multiselect as a custom element What i really set off on was to refactor the multiselect’s x-data context to a separate JavaScript file. I did not see the need at first, thinking that it would not matter because it was used only in a template and i was not duplicating the code in my files. However, i then realized that having the context in the template means the visitor has to download it each and every time it accesses a form with a multiselect, even if nothing changed, and, worse, it would download it multiple times if there were many multiselect controls. It makes more sense to put all that into a file that the browser would only download and parse once, if the proper caching is set. Once i realized that, it was a shame that AlpineJS has no way to do the same for the HTML structure[0], for the exact same reasons: not wanting to download many times the same extra <template> and other markup required to build the control for JavaScript users. And then i remembered that this is supposed to be custom element’s main selling point. At first i tried to create a shadow DOW to replace the <select> with the same <div> and <ul> that i used with Alpine, but it turns out that <select> is not one of the allowed elements that can have a shadow root attached[0]. Therefore, i changed the custom element to extend the <div> for the <select> and <label> instead—the same element that had the x-init context—, but i would have to define or include all the styles inside the shadow DOM, and bring the lang attribute, for it to look like it did before. Out with the shadow DOM, and modify the <div>’s contents instead. At this point the code was so far removed from the declarative way that AlpineJS promotes that i did not see much value on using it, except for its reactivity. But, given that this is such a small component, at the end decided to write it all in plain JavaScript. It is more code, at least looking only at the code i had to write, but i love how i only have to add an is="numerus-multiselect" attribute to HTML for it to work.

Remove document and window event handlers when removing custom elements I realized that the event handlers that i was setting when creating the tags input and the multi-select controls were not removed just because these elements are no longer in the document, and kept firing again and again. I no longer can use an anonymous function, because removeEventListener would not match it with the one passed to addEventListener. I also have to bind the handler to `this` in order to keep having access to the object, and, again, can not do it in the call to addEventListener, or i would get a different function each time. I added the check to see if the element is connected inside the connectedCallback because the documentation warns that this callback “may be called once your element is no longer connected”[0], and i understood it to mean that the connected and disconnected callbacks could be called our of order, thus it would be possible to add event listeners that would not be removed—again. I am not actually sure where i have to do the same for the rest of the “internal” events.

Fix adding empty tag on focus out from element For some reason, i was looking at the value of the focus’ **target**, which is not my search field at all, but whatever control the focus changes **to**. It that new control is an input with value, then it created a new tag with whatever my search field had, which could be the empty string.

Reimplement the multiselect as a custom element What i really set off on was to refactor the multiselect’s x-data context to a separate JavaScript file. I did not see the need at first, thinking that it would not matter because it was used only in a template and i was not duplicating the code in my files. However, i then realized that having the context in the template means the visitor has to download it each and every time it accesses a form with a multiselect, even if nothing changed, and, worse, it would download it multiple times if there were many multiselect controls. It makes more sense to put all that into a file that the browser would only download and parse once, if the proper caching is set. Once i realized that, it was a shame that AlpineJS has no way to do the same for the HTML structure[0], for the exact same reasons: not wanting to download many times the same extra <template> and other markup required to build the control for JavaScript users.

Remove document and window event handlers when removing custom elements I realized that the event handlers that i was setting when creating the tags input and the multi-select controls were not removed just because these elements are no longer in the document, and kept firing again and again. I no longer can use an anonymous function, because removeEventListener would not match it with the one passed to addEventListener. I also have to bind the handler to `this` in order to keep having access to the object, and, again, can not do it in the call to addEventListener, or i would get a different function each time. I added the check to see if the element is connected inside the connectedCallback because the documentation warns that this callback “may be called once your element is no longer connected”[0], and i understood it to mean that the connected and disconnected callbacks could be called our of order, thus it would be possible to add event listeners that would not be removed—again. I am not actually sure where i have to do the same for the rest of the “internal” events.

Execute “focus out” handler in tag input when clicking any other element Apparently i was only testing that control with tab, because clicking on any other non-focusable element (e.g., a table row) it did not add the new tag and would not dispatch the “numerus-tag-out” custom element, which is why i have seen it now. This is equivalent to AlpineJS’s @click.outside, and i was already using it for the multiselect dropdown. The isConnected check is because i probably found some cases in the dropdown’s handler, but i can not remeber now, but since AlpineJS does it too, i guess it is important.

Fix adding empty tag on focus out from element For some reason, i was looking at the value of the focus’ **target**, which is not my search field at all, but whatever control the focus changes **to**. It that new control is an input with value, then it created a new tag with whatever my search field had, which could be the empty string.

Allow editing invoice tags inline from the index table I use the same pattern as HTMx’s “Click to Edit” example[0], except that my edit form is triggered by submit and by focus out of the tags input. I could not, however, use the standard focus out event because it would also trigger when removing a tag with the mouse, as for a moment the remove button has the focus and the search input dispatches a bubbling focusout. I had to resort to a custom event for that, but i am not happy with it. The autofocus attribute seems to do nothing in this case, so i need to manually change the focus to the new input with JavaScript. However, this means that i can not use the same input ID for all the forms because getElementById would always return the first in document order, changing the focus to that same element and automatically submit the form due to focus out. That’s why in this form i append the invoice’s slug to the input’s ID. Finally, this is the first time i am using an HTMx-only solution and i needed a way to return back just the HTML for the <td>, without <title>, breadcrumbs, or <dialog>. In principle, the template would be the “layout”, but then i would need to modify everything to check whether the template file is empty, or something to that effect, so instead i created a “standalone” template for these cases.

Execute “focus out” handler in tag input when clicking any other element Apparently i was only testing that control with tab, because clicking on any other non-focusable element (e.g., a table row) it did not add the new tag and would not dispatch the “numerus-tag-out” custom element, which is why i have seen it now. This is equivalent to AlpineJS’s @click.outside, and i was already using it for the multiselect dropdown. The isConnected check is because i probably found some cases in the dropdown’s handler, but i can not remeber now, but since AlpineJS does it too, i guess it is important.

Remove document and window event handlers when removing custom elements I realized that the event handlers that i was setting when creating the tags input and the multi-select controls were not removed just because these elements are no longer in the document, and kept firing again and again. I no longer can use an anonymous function, because removeEventListener would not match it with the one passed to addEventListener. I also have to bind the handler to `this` in order to keep having access to the object, and, again, can not do it in the call to addEventListener, or i would get a different function each time. I added the check to see if the element is connected inside the connectedCallback because the documentation warns that this callback “may be called once your element is no longer connected”[0], and i understood it to mean that the connected and disconnected callbacks could be called our of order, thus it would be possible to add event listeners that would not be removed—again. I am not actually sure where i have to do the same for the rest of the “internal” events.

Trigger filter form on change and search, as well as submit as before Changed the invoice number field’s type to search to add the delete icon on Chromium. Firefox does not add that icon, but i do not care; it is still better that type="text". Had to emit the change event to the numerus-tag field, otherwise the form would not detect the change. I also can not use keyup as a trigger because the changed modifier can not be used in the <form>, as nothing ever changes, i do not know how to trigger the form from children (i.e., data-hx-trigger on the <input> does nothing), and i can not trigger for just any keyup, or i would make the request even if they only moved the cursor with the arrow keys, which is very confusing as Firefox resets the position (this may be due the fact that i reload the whole <main>, but still).

Use HTMx to add product rows “inline” in the invoice form I actually find more comfortable to select the product from the list presented up until now, but this is mostly because i have very few products and the list is not too long, so the idea is that with JavaScript we will dynamically add an empty product row to the invoice and then use the name field to search the product by name. I have the feeling that i am doing something wrong because i ended up with a lot of HTMx attribute for what i feel is not that much work, but for now it will work. I have added the `Is` field to `InputField` in order to include the `id` attribute to the HTML element, because the HTMLAttributes are attached to the `input`, not the `div`, and i felt like this one should also be a custom element based on div, like all the others. These is not yet any keyboard control to select the search results. I am not happy with having the search of products in a different URL than the index, specially since they use the exact same SQL query and ProductFilter struct, but i did not know how else ask for a different representation without resorting to the more complicated MIME types.

Reimplement the multiselect as a custom element What i really set off on was to refactor the multiselect’s x-data context to a separate JavaScript file. I did not see the need at first, thinking that it would not matter because it was used only in a template and i was not duplicating the code in my files. However, i then realized that having the context in the template means the visitor has to download it each and every time it accesses a form with a multiselect, even if nothing changed, and, worse, it would download it multiple times if there were many multiselect controls. It makes more sense to put all that into a file that the browser would only download and parse once, if the proper caching is set. Once i realized that, it was a shame that AlpineJS has no way to do the same for the HTML structure[0], for the exact same reasons: not wanting to download many times the same extra <template> and other markup required to build the control for JavaScript users. And then i remembered that this is supposed to be custom element’s main selling point. At first i tried to create a shadow DOW to replace the <select> with the same <div> and <ul> that i used with Alpine, but it turns out that <select> is not one of the allowed elements that can have a shadow root attached[0]. Therefore, i changed the custom element to extend the <div> for the <select> and <label> instead—the same element that had the x-init context—, but i would have to define or include all the styles inside the shadow DOM, and bring the lang attribute, for it to look like it did before. Out with the shadow DOM, and modify the <div>’s contents instead. At this point the code was so far removed from the declarative way that AlpineJS promotes that i did not see much value on using it, except for its reactivity. But, given that this is such a small component, at the end decided to write it all in plain JavaScript. It is more code, at least looking only at the code i had to write, but i love how i only have to add an is="numerus-multiselect" attribute to HTML for it to work.

Start the tag input custom element This is more or less the same as a multiselect, except that now it adds a list of string element that you write into the search element. It is supposed to fetch a list of tag suggestions from the server, but i have not implemented it yet.

Use HTMx to add product rows “inline” in the invoice form I actually find more comfortable to select the product from the list presented up until now, but this is mostly because i have very few products and the list is not too long, so the idea is that with JavaScript we will dynamically add an empty product row to the invoice and then use the name field to search the product by name. I have the feeling that i am doing something wrong because i ended up with a lot of HTMx attribute for what i feel is not that much work, but for now it will work. I have added the `Is` field to `InputField` in order to include the `id` attribute to the HTML element, because the HTMLAttributes are attached to the `input`, not the `div`, and i felt like this one should also be a custom element based on div, like all the others. These is not yet any keyboard control to select the search results. I am not happy with having the search of products in a different URL than the index, specially since they use the exact same SQL query and ProductFilter struct, but i did not know how else ask for a different representation without resorting to the more complicated MIME types.

Show the profile form in a dialog using HTMx Had to split the actual page content and the breadcrumbs because they do not belong in a dialog. However, i had to change all templates to do that.

Manually update and restore the <title> when showing dialog with HTMx Mostly, the same problem as before: if the document title does not reflect the application’s state, it becomes useless when there are multiple open tabs. In this case, however, i do not know how to tell HTMx to restore the title to how it was before opening the dialog without a new request to the server, that makes no sense when the dialog was closed without any change whatsoever. Thus, i do it with JavaScript on the client side.

Trigger filter form on change and search, as well as submit as before Changed the invoice number field’s type to search to add the delete icon on Chromium. Firefox does not add that icon, but i do not care; it is still better that type="text". Had to emit the change event to the numerus-tag field, otherwise the form would not detect the change. I also can not use keyup as a trigger because the changed modifier can not be used in the <form>, as nothing ever changes, i do not know how to trigger the form from children (i.e., data-hx-trigger on the <input> does nothing), and i can not trigger for just any keyup, or i would make the request even if they only moved the cursor with the arrow keys, which is very confusing as Firefox resets the position (this may be due the fact that i reload the whole <main>, but still).

Put new invoice and edit invoice forms into a dialog In this case i have to use the same id for the dialog content in all pages because, for now, there are a couple of forms that need to replace it on submit—the new/edit form and the product selection form. Unfortunately, HTMx does not have support for `formaction` attribute at this point, so i had to use the workaround described in [0]. [0] https://github.com/bigskysoftware/htmx/issues/623

Instruct htmx that HTTP 422 is not a “fatal error” I use HTTP 422 to signal that a form was submitted with bad data, which i believe is the correct status code: “indicates that the server understands the content type of the request content […], and the syntax of the request content is correct, but it was unable to process the contained instructions.”[0] htmx, however, treats all 4xx status codes as error and, by default, does not swap the target with the response’s content. Until i found out that i could change that behaviour, i worked around this limitation by returning HTTP 200 for htmx requests, but it is a waste of time given that htmx _can_ accept HTTP 422 as a non-error.

Add a SnackBar to show HTMx errors We do not have any design yet for errors and other notifications, so i followed material design, for now, since we already kind of use their input fields design.

Add aria-current attribute to links in the top menu This is mainly to be able to stylize them using CSS; the current style i set i just a placeholder to check that it works as expected. Most of these links needs to check for the URI’s prefix, because they are links to a whole section, but the first link must check for the exact match, otherwise it would match every other URI, as all of them start with /company/{uuid}. The server does not return the markup for the top navigation when usin HTMx, though, hence i have to change the current class using JavaScript. I am not sure if the correct value for aria-current is “page” when the link is not for the actual page the user is currently in, like when is in the new quote page, but it seems to be the most appropriate value from the enumeration given in the specifications, except, perhaps, for the “location” value, but i was unable to find any example of that value anywhere.
