We have a js function that runs on DOMContentLoaded, document.addEventListener(“DOMContentLoaded”, OURFUNCTION). It works fine when you refresh the browser, but never shows when you navigate the site. I presume that’s because Discourse only loads the dom once and then the rest of handled with clien…

Hey, If you’re looking for an event called when page loads, there is api.onPageChange . api.onPageChange((url, title) => { console.log('the page changed to: ' + url + ' and title ' + title); }); If you’re looking for something else, can you elaborate on what you want to achieve? We could give y…

Hmmm … I’m not sure it guarantees the DOM content has loaded, I believe it fires on the Route change, which is much earlier. You’d need to consider attaching a Component to a Plugin Outlet and firing on didInsert modifier if the DOM loading is important. If just the Route change is important, then…

You may be right! :thinking: onPageChange is called the next runloop, so I think it will still be called after DOMContentLoaded in most situations, but I can’t say it’s guaranteed. I can see usage relying on onPageChange and doing DOM element stuff directly. From where is fired the routeDidChange …

[afbeelding] DDSGadget: it’s just the widget api This is kind of a blessing :sweat_smile:, Glimmer is a helluva lot more developer friendly

BTW, we tested it with api.OnPageChange and it works fine. We haven’t run into an instance yet here the DOM content wasn’t available upon calling OnPageChange, so it seems like it is fired after DomContentLoaded. But, I can’t be 100% sure. Thanks for your help on this.

Good. Just be aware that timing is not guaranteed. But glad it works for your use case!

[afbeelding] Robert: firing on didInsert modifier if the DOM loading Can you please better explain what this means? What is the didInsert modifier? I’m firing on the decorateCookedElement. Thanks.
