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 Turbolinks to provide a complete solution for fast, compelling applications with a minimal amount of effort.
<!--HTML from anywhere-->
<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>
// hello_controller.js
import { Controller } from "stimulus"
export default class extends Controller {
static targets = [ "name", "output" ]
greet() {
this.outputTarget.textContent =
`Hello, ${this.nameTarget.value}!`
}
}
