Merge event handler when providing multiple targets for x-bind

[simonferndriger]

If it does not mean a huge overhead, it would be nice to allow multiple x-bind. Use case is especially for buttons, where you want to bind multiple functionalities to it. For example: <button x-bind="$accordionButton" x-bind="$loadInfoAboutSomething">.

Unfortunately, you can't have 2 HTML attributes with the exact same name. It's a browser thing, not Alpine.

Ah OK, well, how about x-bind="['$accordionButton', '$loadInfoAboutSomething']"?

[simonferndriger]

Ah OK, but what happens when both accordion and button have defined a @click event handler?

The second will overwrite.

You'd need to get more complex with a merger if you want to be able to have them combined.

[simonferndriger]

OK, I see. So in that case - that complex solution would be my feature request 😊

But this is for sure a nice-to-have, not a need-to-have. So if the downside is big, I totally understand if this idea gets discarded.

Generally, this should just be handled with directives. They'd be quite a lot easier to do, and simple to adapt in userland.
