Combining sse and oob

[fliepeltje]

I'd like to keep the element replacement logic on the server side, so ideally I want to send oob swaps from the server and on certain events. Is there a way of achieving this? I understand it is possible to use hx-trigger to manipulate content in this style, however I prefer using the oob swaps in most cases and that gets me into messy code when I have innerHTML and outerHTML versions of the same snippet.

Alternatively, is there a way of registering new elements to listen to events when you stream them through sse? For instance, when I replace an element with a hx-trigger with a new sse event, it will nto listen for it (which is the main reason I end up having to do acrobatics in the first place 😅 )

Having SSE support out-of-band swaps would also make the SSE extension more in line with the WebSocket extension:

Content that is sent down from the websocket will be parsed as HTML and swapped in by the id property, using the same logic as Out of Band Swaps.

I need this also, in my case i have element listening to its status with sse and once its completed should trigger a notification

I second this, support for out-of-bands swaps would be great!

Is this implemented? I always thought this is possible, turns out not to be.

hi guys
created a pull request that does just that, just stole the code from the ws extension, feel free to give it a try
