<body>
<div hx-target="this" hx-ext="alpine-morph" hx-swap="morph">
<div x-data="{ count: 0, replaced: false,
message: 'Change me, then press the button!' }">
<input type="text" x-model="message">
<div x-text="count"></div>
<button x-bind:style="replaced && {'backgroundColor': '#fecaca'}"
x-on:click="replaced = true; count++"

</body>In the above example, all the Alpine x-data states (count, replaced, and message) are preserved even the entire Alpine component is swapped.
NOTE: /swap response from the example above should return actual element that is being replaced (this is <div hx-target="this"... element).
