Introduction to Stimulus

Now that we’ve implemented some show/hide toggle interactivity using TypeScript without a JavaScript framework and started to feel some of the difficulty there, it’s time to look at a tool that makes writing these interactive parts much easier. We have a schedule page in our sample app, and it’s got some filters that haven’t been implemented yet.

In this chapter, we’re going to use the Stimulus library to start adding these features. Along the way, we’ll explore Stimulus’ basic concepts and then combine those concepts to build complex functionality into our app.
