Specifies the URL to receive the request

The hx-action attribute specifies the URL that will receive the request.

Syntax


<button hx-action="/api/users" hx-method="post">
    Create User
</button>

Notes

hx-action is typically used with hx-method to specify both the URL and HTTP method
The shorthand attributes like hx-get, hx-post, etc. combine both URL and method
Use hx-action + hx-method when you need dynamic method selection

Examples


<!-- Using hx-action with hx-method -->
<button hx-action="/api/users" hx-method="post">
    Create User
</button>

<!-- Equivalent using hx-post shorthand -->
<button hx-post="/api/users">
    Create User
</button>
