Turn Turbolinks Back On: Stimulus Brings the Sprinkles, by Pascal Laliberté (@pascallaliberte on Twitter)
Turbolinks makes page transitions snappy via ajax, which means you can use server-side generated pages like a normal person. But what about all of those JS toolkits that add event listeners on a fresh page load? Well, you need to give special attention to make them work with Turbolinks, so most people just turn Turbolinks off instead. Whoa, whoa, whoa.Stimulus, though, is a fresh way to add behaviour to your html, even if added to the page after the fact, via ajax, or whatever. Use Stimulus to sprinkle event listeners on your elements on arrival, and to remove those listeners from elements on removal. And if you want more reactivity in certain places, you can even use Stimulus as the installer for Vue instances, for example.Come to the presentation to see how this all works. You will come away from the talk feeling... stimulated. Oh yes.
