## `ic-get-from` - The Get-From Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-get-from` attribute binds the default action (see below) of HTML element to a `GET` to the given URL. For example, on a button, when the button is clicked, an AJAX `GET` will be issued to the given URL.

{% include action_common.html %}

### Syntax

The value of the attribute should be a valid relative path (e.g. `ic-get-from="/foo/bar"`).

### Dependencies

`ic-get-from` implies a dependency on its path, and Intercooler will issue requests for elements whenever it detects an action that the path depends on. See Dependencies for more information.

### Example

Here is a simple example, with a span that depends on the updated URL:

      <button ic-get-from="/target_url" ic-target="#target-span">
        Click Me!
      </button>

      <span id="target-span">
        You haven't clicked yet...
      </span>

You haven't clicked yet...
