Adding events after swap

[thescented...@gmail.com]

Hi, I'm new to intercooler so this might be a really stupid question. How would I wire in my own event listeners for some html returned by intercooler?

For example if I had:

<a ic-get-from="/some-list">Get List</a>

where /some-list returns, say, this:
<ul>
<li class="my-item" data-id="1">One</li>
<li class="my-item" data-id="2">Two</li>
</ul>

How would I wire in something like:
$(".my-item").click(function(evt) { alert(evt.target.getAttribute("data-id");});

I've tried using the complete.ic and after.success.ic events and X-IC-Trigger but everything seems to run *before* the new elements are swapped in so jquery never attaches the click event... As far as I can see ic-action only works for jquery actions on the target element so I'm not sure that would work either.

I looked through the source and managed a quick workaround by adding this to the processICResponse function:
try {
doSwap();
target.trigger("swap_complete.ic", [target]);
} catch (e) {
log(elt, "Error during content swaop : " + formatError(e), "ERROR");
}

but obviously I'd rather not touch the actual intercooler source.

Like I said this is probably a dumb question - is there an idiomatic way of handling this case?

Really enjoying the library so far, thanks for coming up with something so simple!

Hi,

You’ve got a few of options, listed here in increasing complexity:

First, if your action is simple enough, you could use the ic-action attribute: 

  http://intercoolerjs.org/attributes/ic-action.html

Secondly, you could set up an intercooler ready function (similarl to $.read()):

  Intercooler.ready(function(elt) {

    $(elt).find(".my-item").click(function(evt) { alert(evt.target.getAttribute("data-id");}); 

  });

Finally, you could use the regular jQuery ready function, but make the handler dynamic:

  $(function() {

    $( “body" ).on( "click", ".my-item", function() {

      alert(evt.target.getAttribute("data-id");

    });

  }

All of these are fine.  The first option is the most intercoolery and the last one is the most flexible, so your call.

Glad you are finding intercooler useful!

Cheers,

Carson
