This extension disables an element during an htmx request, when configured on the element triggering the request.

Usage

Nominal case: disabling the element triggering the request

<button hx-get="/whatever" hx-ext="disable-element" hx-disable-element="self">Click me</button>

Disabling another element

<button hx-get="/whatever" hx-ext="disable-element" hx-disable-element="#to-disable">Click me</button>
<button id="to-disable">Watch me being disabled</button>

Disabling multiple elements

<button hx-get="/whatever" hx-ext="disable-element" hx-disable-element=".to-disable">Click me</button>
<button class="to-disable">Watch me being disabled</button>
