+++ title = "hx-get" +++

The hx-get attribute will cause an element to issue a GET to the specified URL and swap the HTML into the DOM using a swap strategy:

  <button hx-get="/example">Get Some HTML</button>

This example will cause the button to issue a GET to /example and swap the returned HTML into the innerHTML of the button.

• By default hx-get does not include any parameters. You can use the hx-params attribute to change this
• You can control the target of the swap using the hx-target attribute
• You can control the swap strategy by using the hx-swap attribute
• You can control what event triggers the request with the hx-trigger attribute
