Let’s say I have the following in my liveview template:

my_template.html.leex
<div phx-hook="myHook">
  <div
    x-data="{inputvalue=''}"
    x-init="
      console.log('I AM INITING')
    "
  >
  <input x-model="inputValue">
  </div>
</div>
<script>
  document.addEventListener('alpine:init', () => console.log('INIT FROM SCRIPT TAG!'))
</script>

myHook.js
hooks.myHook = {
  mounted () {
    console.log('HOOK MOUNTED')
    document.addEventListener('alpine:init', () => console.log('INIT FROM HOOK'))
  }
}

My output is:

INIT FROM SCRIPT TAG
I AM INITING
I AM INITING
HOOK MOUNTED
I AM INITING
I AM INITING
  1. Why is the x-init running 4 times and how can I make it only run once?
  2. How can I get my hook to execute before x-init or the alpine:init event runs?

I think x-init runs first when you get plain html response, then it runs again when liveview inits. Does it run 4 times without hook as well? If not, then I guess it might be forced to run after every hook event (mounted and updated in your case).

Also, how do you have alpine+liveivew set up?

CherryPoppins OP

Sorry the x-data="{inputvalue=''}" was a typo, in my actual code I have it as you said, x-data="{inputvalue: ''}".

On the Alpine.start(), I thought about that but it seems kinda hacky, and I’m also not always sending a message back to the hook on liveview calls so wouldn’t necessarily be able to always call Alpine.start() after liveview calls without going out of my way to do so. It seems I’m not the only on experiencing this and Alpine apparently doesn’t think it is a bug since they moved this ticket to discussion. Would have been nice to have gotten an explanation when moved. I appreciate you trying to help me out @ruslandoga!
