PJAX transitions with Swup.js, how to re-init Elder hydration
JulianCataldo opened this issue · comments
Hey there ! Very glad to try Elder, coming from Nuxt / Next / Gridsome / Gatsby…
I find ElderJs to be pleasingly simple while still being uber powerful.
I've some precise questions about the "SPA feel" you can get with AJAX-like transitions.
I'm testing Elder with Swup.js, a PJAX library.
It's working correctly and as expected, instead of one specific drawback for now :
Re-hydration (partial and OR global) does not occur after a route change.
For example, the Clock example stays static.
Swup talks about this classic pitfall about PJAX libs.
They offers some hooks to "re-init" JS functions.

Some food for thought, somehow related :

My question : how can I trigger programmatically what's Elder is doing on an initial page load for making it JS-interactive ? Thanks a lot for your insights.
@JulianCataldo Welcome! Glad you're enjoying Elder.js.
As answered in Discord, this isn't something that Elder.js offers out of the box, but you should be able to take the contents from the hydrateStack and wrap them with some sort of function where you activate the hydrate process.
My gut says this will take some fiddling but should be doable.
