hx-confirm ~ htmx

The hx-confirm attribute allows you to confirm an action before issuing a request. This can be useful in cases where the action is destructive and you want to ensure that the user really wants to do it.

Syntax


<button hx-delete="/account" hx-confirm="Are you sure?">Delete Account</button>

Here is an example:


<button hx-delete="/account" hx-confirm="Are you sure you wish to delete your account?">
  Delete My Account
</button>

Event details

The event triggered by hx-confirm contains additional properties in its detail:

triggeringEvent: the event that triggered the original request
issueRequest(skipConfirmation=false): a callback which can be used to confirm the AJAX request
question: the value of the hx-confirm attribute on the HTML element

Notes

hx-confirm uses the browser’s window.confirm by default. You can customize this behavior as shown in the Dialogs pattern.
a boolean skipConfirmation can be passed to the issueRequest callback; if true (defaults to false), the window.confirm will not be called and the AJAX request is issued directly
