Very cool! I love that the package’s icon looks like the Key-per too: youtu.be/V2UN3Y-BxC4?...

Yeah it’s a bummer, 10 years ago I was adding little gyro interactions to everything. I think it’s considered a device fingerprinting concern now.

Here's a working CodePen example: codepen.io/imacrayon/pe...
I only updated the script `src` on the frontend.

The demo isn't compiling, but I think it's a Code Sandbox problem, it's throwing console errors about the Go environment not initializing.

The Alpine AJAX script `src` should be "https://unpkg.com/@imacrayon/[email protected]" (wrong namespace and version)

I'm getting a 404, like maybe the project is private?

hey, no problem. Make sure that x-merge is on the element that *accepts* the content. It’s a common mistake to use it like x-target and put it on the element that initiates the request.

I can't say good enough things about alpine-ajax.js.org

It has completely replaced my need for Livewire and Vue. It's much simpler than HTMX, at least from how I use Laravel with it.

This library is everything I've ever wanted for developing mainly CRUD projects.

Thanks @imacrayon.com.

Just released Alpine AJAX v0.12 with two handy new target modifiers `target.back` and `target.away`.

Coincidentally, Laravel v12 was released today, so get v12 and v0.12 and get shippin'!

github.com/imacrayon/al...

HTML code demonstrating the new `x-target.back` and `x-target.away` directives. You can use these directives to target different parts of the page based on whether an AJAX request returns a response that redirects *back* to the same page or *away* to a new page.

I work with an individual that owns both a SaaS and a second business that is one of the top paying customers of the SaaS. It's like the business equivalent of this meme:

An electrical power strip plugged into itself, generating "infinite power".
