## `ic-deps` - The Dependencies Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-deps` attribute tells Intercooler that an element depends on a given path and should be updated if a change to that path is detected.

### Syntax

The value of the `ic-deps` attribute is a comma-separated list of paths that the element depends on. Note that the special single character "*" indicates that an element depends on all detected changed.

To disable dependencies on an element, you can use `ic-deps="ignore"`

### Dependencies

`ic-deps` adds the dependencies it specifies to the element it is on.

### Example

Here is a simple element that depends on any changes:

      <button ic-post-to="/path/1">Button 1</button>
      <button ic-post-to="/path/2">Button 2</button>
      <div ic-src="/src" ic-deps="*">0 Clicks</div>
