I’m working with htmx for dynamic content loading in my project, and I’ve encountered an issue where the htmx:swapError is triggered when users click too quickly on the navigation links.
Here’s the relevant portion of my HTML:
<div hx-boost="true" hx-target="main" hx-swap="outerHTML show:unset" class="w-full mx-auto">
<div
class="relative flex flex-col w-full p-5 mx-auto md:items-center md:justify-between md:flex-row max-w-7xl lg:px-16 md:px-12 px-8 xl:px-24"
>
<div class="flex flex-row items-center justify-between lg:justify-start">
<a href="#" class="text-xl text-gray-900 font-semibold tracking-tighter inline-flex gap-2 items-center">
DXTA
</a>
</div>
<nav class="flex-col flex-grow py-12 lg:py-0 md:flex md:justify-end md:flex-row hidden">
<ul class="space-y-2 list-none lg:space-y-0 lg:items-center lg:inline-flex">
<li>
<a
href="#"
class="px-2 lg:px-6 py-4 md:px-3 text-sm font-semibold text-slate-600 hover:text-purple-900"
>
Dashboard
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a
href="#"
class="px-2 lg:px-6 py-4 md:px-3 text-sm font-semibold text-slate-600 hover:text-purple-900"
>

</a>
</li>
<li>
<a
href="#"
class="px-2 lg:px-6 py-4 md:px-3 text-sm font-semibold text-slate-600 hover:text-purple-900"
>
Some other stuff
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
I suspect that the error is caused by rapid navigation clicks overwhelming the htmx requests. Is there a way to mitigate or handle this issue within htmx? Or are there best practices for managing rapid user interactions with htmx-based navigation?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
