This works well together with preloading in the import map when you have a modest number of controllers. The installer will amend your config/importmap.rb to configure this such that all controllers in app/javascript/controllers are pinned.īy default, your application will be setup to eager load all the controllers mentioned in your import map under "controllers". With an import-mapped application, controllers are automatically pinned and registered based on the file structure. Create app/javascript/controllers/index.js and load your controllers like this:.Follow the instructions for import map or JavaScript bundler, depending on your setup. But the following is helpful if you encounter errors while running the installer (e.g., if there are conflicts with existing files) or if you just like doing stuff manually. Note that we recommend running the installer as described above. The installer amends your JavaScript entry point at app/javascript/application.js to import the app/javascript/controllers/index.js file, which is responsible for setting up your Stimulus application and registering your controllers. If you're using Node, yarn will add the dependencies to your package.json file. If you're using an import map, the Stimulus dependencies will be pinned to the versions of the library included with this gem. The installer will automatically detect whether you're using an import map or JavaScript bundler to manage your application's JavaScript. Add the stimulus-rails gem to your Gemfile: gem 'stimulus-rails'.

But if you're on Rails 6, you can install it with the installer or manually: Installing with installer This gem is automatically configured for applications made with Rails 7+ (unless -skip-hotwire is passed to the generator). Make sure to install one of these first! Installation It relies on either importmap-rails to make Stimulus available via ESM or a Node-capable Rails (like via jsbundling-rails) to include Stimulus in the bundle. Stimulus for Rails makes it easy to use this modest framework with both import-mapped and JavaScript-bundled apps. Stimulus pairs beautifully with Turbo to provide a complete solution for fast, compelling applications with a minimal amount of effort. Instead, it’s designed to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine. It doesn’t seek to take over your entire front-end in fact, it’s not concerned with rendering HTML at all. Stimulus is a JavaScript framework with modest ambitions.
