but there's definite overlap. The actual page loads just about as quickly as HN. Since implementing Rails and plain 'vanilla' JS it went better. It is through these tenants that they use tools and develop new ones. But the ones that aren't are useful. It just was easier/faster for me to do that in this particular context. Basecamp has always been a comparatively small team who values simplicity when appropriate, which I think this tool reflects. Because the x-data directive is freshly evaluated each time it appears, you can include a fragment multiple times and get isolated “instances”. Rails is an open source web development framework that excels in productivity by coming with smart defaults for people to use to get up and running quickly. Before Stimulus, the best way to achieve this would have been by creating a js.erb file and manually writing a function to replace the HTML on the page. I built our dev shop from scratch - environments, procedures, trainings, dev ops, and many of the hires. * Cross-component communication is difficult. First, for many businesses and applications the biggest risk vector isn't scalability, or reliability, or even security - it's existence and viability. The complexity involved in handling form UI is just not very suitable for stimulus from my experience. No, you can just use normal HTML, add some vue-specific stuff and then treat that HTML as Vue app. http://intercoolerjs.org/2016/05/08/hatoeas-is-for-humans.ht... What is the browser support for intercoolerjs? vue)). An implementation of the Hacker News PWA with Rails + Stimulus - timm-oh/hnpwa-app I am the architect for a small development shop. In both those cases, I'd look for the simplest approach to get something running, and simplest to maintain. I suppose mobx might be a better way to handle this. So you do kind of need shadow DOM. The thing is, it was SO easy to rig routing together quickly yourself; I ended up doing dom event based routing for a lot of stuff. It is not complicated. There's lots of good tutorials out there for controlling buttons, modals, events etc. I've done a little with the Angular 2. Not if the CTO said he chose Lotus Notes and Tivoli because they were in Gartner's magic quadrant based on the long gone consultants he hired. Even without knowing anything about Stimulus or looking at the controller code itself. Stimulus was totally made to be used with Webpack. It's intended to be used for small little "sprinkles" of JavaScript (think things like: showing / hiding content, toggling classes, basic event handlers). Usually, the more interaction, the more likely it's application. Ultimately I converted to Inertia.js, which is a very small glue library that lets me write the whole front end in Vue (or React, or Svelte) while keeping a more traditional Laravel (or Rails) backend. I'm sure that using turbolinks is fine for people with fast Internet connections and certain types of websites/browsers, but it's terrible for usability in some scenarios. The problem isn't lit-element, the problem is the native API is not that good, not ergonomic, still incomplete and so far removed from the modern way of building reactive websites, i.e. Alpine and StimulusJS have really good docs / guides and tons of practical examples if you Google for a specific problem you're trying to solve. But here's two distinctions I think are important. Well, updating any part of the UI requires manual DOM manipulation. On the up side Stimulus might help Rails apps minimize adding piles of jQuery. You are always going to have a hard time convincing others when you speak in absolutes while invalidating all other cases. For example, each step in our view is sort of a "sub form" and it needs to talk to the parent "modal" to keep global state - you'll need to roll some basic event handling code between the two. Are we likely to see this in Rails 6? NOTE: this demo is using Vue.js 1.x - the 2.0 version is here.. Vue.js HackerNews clone. [NOT LAUNCHED YET - ALPHA TESTING] A Hacker News mirror biased in favor of thoughtful discussion ... Crossposted by 1 hour ago. The IRS has issued some 165 million payments in the third round of direct stimulus aid, with another 1 million people this week in line to receive the $1,400 checks. I love Stimulus and am super happy to see this update. Front-end stuff doesn't have to be complex, but it is. Stimulus check: Why your "plus-up" payment might not be as big as you expect. StimulusJS is one step up from JQuery and formalizes a lot of jQuery patterns that I'd come across - data-target, data-event attributes, etc. If a user blanks out an answer, we need to update the DOM with an additional form control whose value will get passed back to the backend to persist the change in the DB. Stimulus.js 2.0 | Hacker News benzible 3 months ago [–] Alpine.js is worth a look as well. In a recent interview [2] Chris McCord hinted at merging at least some of Surface into LiveView. HackerNews clone built with Vue 2.0 + vue-router + vuex, with server-side rendering. I like React a lot and I sometimes use it for my own projects (e.g. Do you think Github.com UI is complex? I just wrote markup. rockarts / hackernews.js. I worked with Stimulus for about a month and found it to be frustrating: Ditto. Anything more complicated though, and you are better off with Vue, React, Etc. Just like I would give Kotlin the benefit of a doubt based on my experience with JetBrains' products. For example, a lot of places using React think they need Redux too. My last full stack project where I touched the front-end was 100% knockout + some custom routing + commonjs module organization, and I still have fond memories of it relative to most other front-end experiences pre-2014. But many. My linked inside hey.com articles are very interesting. * easy AJAX loading like turbolinks (), * easy AJAX modal (), * submit a form whenever any input changes (), * respects the way HTML is intended to be used, so the page still works even when JS is disabled. For me, this is 257 kB uncompressed - with most of that being the Root HTML file (I realized I don't have minification or Gzip on - which takes that down substantially). StimulusJS doesn't offer many facilities for changing your UI in a declarative way. The central argument of your post appears to be based solely on personal opinion because you provided no evidence to back it up. This has been my experience on the last two small things I built. The idea behind React is very simple and it's really something every front end dev should know. Any other suggestion for lightweight rich JS components that do not require one to buy into Vue, React or other "full-stack" JS libraries? Myself, I've been playing with intercoolerjs for a few weeks, and it is quite refreshing. Quick Ractive version (at work so just ad-libbing): This might be a subjective matter of taste, but I find the React solution much uglier, harder to read, and less intuitive despite the fact that I've been writing React for a while now, and have never written Stimulus. Though I personally like React, just two or three years ago Angular was the framework of choice for many (I've never been a fan of it). While Alpine itself has no concept of components, you can define a template fragment that consists solely of the “component” for basically the same effect. Yes but we're still going a long way from "just use React". Whatever you implement it in. This makes Stimulus a really good combo when used with Turbolinks or partial Javascript responses. In React / Angular's case, the frameworks are built to work well for large teams that deal with many moving pieces. At minimum, this can be something simple like toggling visibility of an element by adding or removing a class. I wasn't thinking this is server-side how I could incorporate a JS library like Stimulus or Alpine on my server-rendered code. it doesnt’t mean necessarily to change how we code :). It really is all most web sites need, and it works so well with the well proven Rails way of server side html added to judicious js. Stimulus doesn't handle rendering at all. If you used to write jQuery snippets to wire up a click event to run ~5-10 lines of JS, then you might look at Stimulus as a more modern implementation (es6, mutationobserver, etc). One alternative that might be worth a look is htmx (the new library based on intercooler.js): Htmx is more like all „we try to solve everything for you but fail“ solutions. I use it mainly in a rails app combined with Turbolinks. I built a couple knockout based apps that worked phenomenally well across lots of platforms, and were pretty lightweight dependency wise. They never hinted anything like that. I can't tell which bits of data a function is using without digging through a bunch of code. I think that a loading bar across the top of a web page shouldn't have multiple meanings. Rails already integrates with webpack, and you can certainly implement your own integrations to further advance things - and you can turn around and make this a gem for others to use, or contribute it to core if its something more fundamental. I feel like there's some opportunity in the space to create a truly re-usable form library that can hook into your backend and be themed / customized to suite the look and feel of your app. But that may sound, Not at all - I still favor vanillajs if only to avoid the bloat of the whole modern js toolchain (webpack...babel...extra compile times), Thank you for the detailed answer. My read of Stimulus is that it's geared for contexts other than yours. Stimulus flips this concept on its head, and instead relies on the DOM to hold state. From a more practical standpoint, I'm hiring mostly contractors. There is an elegant and fast Vue.js 2 HackerNews clone … React isn't complex, but pretending JS supports immutable structures makes it hard to use. [1] - https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks. It still is problematic if you use third party plugins / saas vendors. One benefit is when combined with Turbolinks there is a need to bootstrap the Vue/React component. I like redis and Postgres generally speaking for data, and Ruby on Rails generally for business logic. How about people who use Rust/Python/Ruby/Elixir/PHP? Using it to create reusable components to sprinkle in your static HTML is overkill, and anyway it does not work with LiveView and LiveView is pretty cool. But with StimulusJS 1+ it went simply great. Myself, I've been playing with intercoolerjs [2] for a few weeks, and it is quite refreshing. This feels like it has a whif of Angular about it. I was thinking that Alpine here was referring to Alpine Linux, which I found strange in the context because often these sorts of acronyms (LAMP, MEAN, etc etc) don’t mention specific distros and I also would not expect CSS-Tricks.com to write about Linux distros. I haven't had a problem. How could they possibly improve on that homepage. I can sprinkle in React components where the UI is especially rich and use Rails for everything else. I ask these questions as I'm thinking of using Turbolinks myself and your comment does make me doubt. My usual MO for front end development when I don't want to implement a full SPA framework: Assign events using JQuery to the rendered elements. Stimulus.js was built by the team at Basecamp, and is actively maintained and growing. 167 members in the patient_hackernews community. Stimulus JS, Tutorial 5 Comments on Stimulus Pearls: A Collection of Stimulus.js Tutorials Updated Tutorial: How Do I Drag and Drop Items … I don't understand the example. The old "no one ever got fired for buying IBM". > "PETAL stack" of Phoenix, Elixir, Tailwind, Alpine.js, and LiveView. Handlebars is simpler. This was the case with jQuery, Angular, and things that came before. It watches the DOM for you, since that's where state is, but every other thing watches the JS for you, because that's where the state is. * Testability. Is there a convincing Stimulus vs. React-Rails post anywhere? The amount of extra work and complexity that a separate FE introduces requires serious benefits on the other side of the equation. Their documentation even has a lovely starter kit for Webpack. At minimum, we need to write code to listen to input changes and make sure this new information is kept in sync with both internal component state and other parts of the UI. What would you like to do? With modern internet, the load time is nearly instant AND is literally instant on subsequent page loads (since most of the payload is locally cached). If a frontend dev doesn't want to learn that then they will be out of a job in a decade. The behaviors you describe are intricate and contain interconnected components which are probably managed by something like vuex (or the react equivalent). https://github.com/stimulusjs/stimulus/blob/master/circle.ym... Until you have a better idea of how to proceed, try this: $ curl -o- -L https://yarnpkg.com/install.sh | bash. Just need to add some light interactivity (toggling visibility of components, any basic view filtering) that do not involve a lot of logic And it works really well with universal react rendering if you need that with react_on_rails. I switched from Stimulus to Vue and have had a much better experience so far. React and vue are great for creating interactive widgets (no flash anymore). If it failed, why? Everything that libs like Stimulus aim to avoid. This is good news. This is an implementation the Hacker News Progressive Web App, built entirely out of Ruby on Rails and Stimulus.js Or does it run independently? I do freelance development from time to time by myself. I haven't read anything and love this already. If the answer is "just write it in JS" then it's no longer a question of "just use React" but "let's replace our entire stack with Javascript". Where some of the biggest complexity crop up: * Form input data handling and general state management. I believe this section attempts to answer that question: > Stimulus also differs on the question of state. To anyone wondering why they should care about Stimulus, I offer this TLDR, straight from DHH himself: As a Rails dev, I find this very interesting. I can't really fathom how the parent to your post saw a slowdown using turbolinks - because the server doesn't know the difference, and the client does less work. I look forward to putting Stimulus through its paces and see if it is a good option for projects where Vue is overkill. And maybe documentation too. There are pages in our app where stimulus works great and the UI is fairly complex from a standpoint of the number of strictly user facing behavior (click this, show X, Y, and Z). Can you point me to an example of a Vue-powered page in a larger rails app consumes json data after authentication? Allready upgraded to 2.0 and it feels even more structured with the new features, like values and improved targets. Different strokes for different folks, and that goes for how perception of complexity is interpreted. That's not necessarily bad, but it's not always great from a maintenance perspective. I thought you were making joke about complexity when I read the first line, but then in the end it's not a joke. Rails is dope. It works with any update to the DOM, regardless of whether it comes from a full page load, a Turbo page change, or an Ajax request. I like these libraries but have the same concerns. Stimulus seem to be the missing ingredient in the mix for me. Yes. yup, and if you want to really optimize it you could use functions as a service like lambda as your react rendering layer, which forwards to heroku or fargate or beanstalk or vanilla ec2 or whatever for your backend. React can be simple. The package is django-sockpuppet. I'm assuming DHH/RoR is sensitive to that hence these solutions like TurboLinks, Stimulus, etc that still use server rendered HTML. I shipped stuff and I'm not even sorry. I do like the brief and to-the-point introduction. I can go either way depending on context. Stimulus continuously watches the page, kicking in as soon as attributes appear or disappear. Rails is already the sane alternative. and if you want hyper performance you could use lambda@edge and intelligently route to your backend running on fly.io to minimize the distance. The second distinction is most important, and the piece I often think is missing - just because X technology is scalable, reliable, and secure doesn't mean any implementation of it is. Stimulus allows (forces?) Which brings us to - "scaleability, reliability, Security, etc." Every situation is different. This is general advice for all development but particularly and specifically true for Rails devs. I've already jumped on the Vue bandwagon and have had a pretty good time using it. Also, I wholeheartedly recommend Unpoly as well, fits nicely in the PETAL stack. It's certainly faster to go to market with something that way. Doesn’t vuejs require you to keep your state in a store object (data: {}) and render html via js though? I guess that Turbolinks is used by Basecamp 2 and it sucks a lot. Note: in practice, it is unnecessary to code-split for an app of this size (where each async chunk is only a few kilobytes), nor is it optimal to extract an extra CSS file (which is only 1kb) -- they are used simply because this is a demo app … The number of projects where something as small and simple as Vue could be considered overkill has to be remarkably small, I feel. I'll list out just a few key UI behavior: * A "read" view which represents a list of containers with titles that show each instance of a users answer (for example, if you provided 5 sets of answers, such as 5 universities you attended, we need to show those 5 in some sort of preview form on the page). The former is perfectly fine for us to handle with vanilla js, the latter just becomes easier for developers with a declarative model. The idea behind React is very simple and it's really something every front end dev should know. Anyway, at the end of the day, I don't really get too worked up about how another person chooses to solve the "make the browser display a web app." If you actually took the time to throw a real/reusable hash or pushstate based router on it would be pretty damn good.... "Above all, it’s a toolkit for small teams who want to compete on fidelity and reach with much larger teams using more laborious, mainstream approaches.". There's an overhaul in progress called TKO (, My company still actively uses it in production and development. In Alpine you would use a x-show property, that reacts to a change in the data of the component. And many other components. In the above stack LiveView doesn’t play that well with web components that render their own children, as it will remove those children when it rerenders. Stimulus; Strada (Coming Soon!) Not if you use Gatsby or NextJS and get server side rendering out of the box. We're currently trying to migrate a significant amount of stimulus code over to react. Vue's not well-suited to server-rendered HTML that has some dynamic features after the fact. Things like zendesk integrations for example. I've also been playing with Alpine, but on the also-newly-christened "TALL stack" [1] of Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, and LiveWire. As another option, HAML lets you extract the attributes into a ruby helper method: Same. Stimulus Reflex already have a Django counterpart that uses the Stimulus Relex js and conventions. Star 0 Fork 0; Star Code Revisions 1. Not all. Styling Components in Next.js. But, if I were to do another project where server side rendering made more sense, I would definitely do a proof of concept with Stimulus + TurboLinks. Rails has been a great tool for me even though in my "real" job we use a much more robust toolset - in my real job I work with a team. In this section, you are going to make it … Maintainable quality code that makes money wins in the long run. I won't speak for turbolinks, but with intercooler the idea is to return to a stateless architecture, the second aspect of the REST-ful architecture[1]. Front end framework churn seems inherently cyclic in nature, where a new minor generation breaks with tools of the slightly older generation to define itself on the marketplace. Re-render the template based on the model. I just reached for the jquery (or even just regular JS) because I didn't need that much. I just looked up the referenced TurboLink package. It’s almost like pseudocode. The progress bar is clunky, but it is optional, and not needed anyway if your pages render in a reasonable amount of time (100ms to 200ms is "instant" to most people). (I'm tired of "complex form " argument, jQuery turned out ok back then, so does Stimulus or whatever works with server rendered html (e.g. It is the envy of front-end JS package homepages. I sometimes middle-click the links open (new tab) to avoid having to wait for turbolinks. I think the much touted "NEW MAGIC" will be the thing that does the automatic content refresh. In my experience, I can actually get content up more quickly than a traditional CMS-type system. Shame. [2] https://thinkingelixir.com/podcast-episodes/024-liveview-upl... https://github.com/msaraiva/surface/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md. I think what StimulusJS is supposed to bring to the table is that it watches the DOM for you. The devs seem to be mainly working on an updated version without a lot of the legacy code: This has alot of similarities with Lift snippets, - valid concerns! They add a loading bar across the top which can have different meanings depending on the site and browser: - some browsers add a bar across the top to indicate page loading progress (example: Firefox for Android), - some websites add a bar across the top to indicate how far you've read in an article, - turbolinks adds yet another bar across the top to also indicate page loading progress. How does: yes, I had that question when I first read it - it's not obvious enough. Stimulus.js Tutorial – Don’t Lose Unsaved Form Fields May 8, 2018 October 21, 2020 john You may shudder remembering that long form you were once filling out, only to accidentally click a link, or refresh the page. 6. So far, our Hacker News Clone does what we are telling it to do. lit-element is a very light wrapper on top of the native API. In any case the near future is looking to be the best its ever been for developing very nice feeling apps without going the SPA route with any back-end technology. What's the difference between Pjax and Turbolinks? meesterdude provided evidence that runs counter to that opinion. Once the boundaries of your server-side parts for something are congruent to the client-side parts, you have reached the nirvana state of wondering, "can I extract & package these into a library and share it?". I'm pretty excited about what I (by myself) could do with stimulus. I built complex form before on financial platform where it contains complex investment details, different entities for different kind of offering .. with vanilla javascript. It uses Russian Doll Caching everywhere to reuse rendered HTML. StimulusReflex is a Rails thing that's much more involved than Stimulus. Actually LV can play nice with them if you add the phx-ignore attribute on the component itself. Stimulus.js stems from the Basecamp team. hey if stimulus and turbolinks are your jam then rock it! With Stimulus, this logic is … Instead, it’s designed to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine. We adopted stimulusjs a couple of years ago for adding some basic interactivity on our pages and it was a decent tool, but we quickly grew out of it once we started adding more complex (form based) front-end behavior involving lots of state changes. Tko, the monorepo for ko 4+, will hopefully make it easier to build frameworks out of the knockout code, so things like routers can be easier to tack on (if we don't build one in). Just a heads up, knockout 3.5 just went into beta, and 4.0 is in alpha. I've got even greater hopes for the NEW MAGIC that @dhh has been hinting about. Putting state in your HTML is tricky if you also want to modify the DOM. I don't have to use the most popular framework, but that is a consideration, but if I am going to use something that is less popular and as foundational as a framework, it has to be either somewhat popular or from a company with a pedigree. What UI behaviors necessitated you to move beyond stimulus? It's interesting to me to explore this type of application that is. I suspect if you're in a situation where you need bureaucratic approval or "CYA" you don't have one of the main problems stimulus is trying to solve - helping small teams or single developers create apps that can keep up with apps written by larger teams with more specialities/ists. Share Copy sharable link for this gist. I wasn't thinking this is client-side, how do I make this work in SSR. In there, I noticed circle.yml in the root directory, which I'm guessing is for testing on Circle CI. Also, as a developer, I always "keep my running shoes around my neck". Source? Good contractors want to gain skills that will help them on their next gig. Their hey.com service has some interesting turbolinks extensions: Good timing. What you are describing seems similar to good old BackboneJS? For example, formik in react helps cut down on a ton of boilerplate you have to write in order to wire the form control DOM state to react state. My comment above mentions that. He did say other server side frameworks could implement similar behavior too but it would involve the framework having built-in support for websockets and job queues. What does ES6, Jquery, Handlebars, Bootstrap and Angular 2 buy you ? React itself is quite simple. But if you're looking for the next Big Thing™, I'm afraid you might be sorely disappointed. I've personally hit the point where I feel like React is my go to for anything - especially with Gatsby. If you do end up needing more perf, maybe go would be interesting. > "You can read that and have a pretty good idea of what’s going on. They have improved the integration with Webpacker, but also bear in mind if you don't use the HTML/UI type functionality in Rails, it's a lot less compelling. The more it's just a page, the more it should be just HTML. I double that knockout is amazing (and never targeted "true" frontend space, like routing), but from my point of view, it is targeted towards more "rich" applications.
