Stimulus
A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have
Overview:
Stimulus is a JavaScript framework designed to enhance and augment HTML elements by adding behavior to make them more interactive and engaging. It works by adding specific attributes to HTML elements and then writing compatible controllers to bring them to life. It is not focused on rendering HTML but on providing just enough functionality to improve user experience.
Features:
- Modest Ambitions: Stimulus does not aim to take over the entire front-end but rather enhances existing HTML elements.
- Pairs with Turbo: It works seamlessly with Turbo to create fast and compelling applications with minimal effort.
- Controller Attributes: Sprinkle HTML elements with controller, target, and action attributes to add behavior easily.
- Lifecycle Management: Stimulus continuously monitors the page for attribute changes and manages the entire lifecycle of controllers.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
