A modest JavaScript framework for the HTML you already have.

<!--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}!`
  }
}

Current version: 3.2.2 — released August 7th 2023

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 Turbo to provide a complete solution for fast, compelling applications with a minimal amount of effort.
