How to execute javascript code after htmx makes an ajax request?

Im currently building a website with django and htmx and i like the combination so far. Lets say I use an htmx attribute on a button to replace a div in the DOM with another div that is supposed to contain a wysiwyg editor. Now the wysiwyg editor has to be initialized with javascript. How do I do this? Can I just return the script tag under the editor div that is being requested with htmx? Wouldnt that be also a little ugly or bad practice because youd have script tags in the middle of the html body? Whats the best way of solving this? Thanks in advance

Check out HTMX after request event.

It should look something like this

htmx.on('afterRequest', (evt) => {
  // check which element triggered the htmx request. If it's the one you want call the function you need
})
