4. Stimulus

Stimulus is a JavaScript framework with modest ambitions. It doesn't seek to take over your entire front-end—in fact, it's not concerned with rendering HTML at all. Instead, it's designed to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine.

Stimulus is a JavaScript framework with modest ambitions. It doesn't seek to take over your entire front-end—in fact, it's not concerned with rendering HTML at all. Instead, it's designed to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine. Stimulus pairs beautifully with Turbo to provide a complete solution for fast, compelling applications with a minimal amount of effort.

How does it work? Sprinkle your HTML with controller, target, and action attributes:

<div data-controller="hello">
  <input data-hello-target="name" type="text">

  <button data-action="click->hello#greet">Greet</button>

  <span data-hello-target="output"></span>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then write a compatible controller. Stimulus brings it to life automatically:

// hello_controller.js
import { Controller } from "stimulus"
export default class extends
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
