+++ title = "hx-request" description = """
The hx-request attribute in htmx allows you to configure the request timeout, whether the request will send
credentials, and whether the request will include headers.""" +++

The hx-request attribute allows you to configure various aspects of the request via the following attributes:

• timeout - the timeout for the request, in milliseconds
• credentials - if the request will send credentials
• noHeaders - strips all headers from the request

These attributes are set using a JSON-like syntax:

<div ... hx-request='{"timeout":100}'>
  ...
</div>

You may make the values dynamically evaluated by adding the javascript: or js: prefix:

<div ... hx-request='js: timeout:getTimeoutSetting() '>
  ...
</div>

Notes

• hx-request is merge-inherited and can be placed on a parent element
