What is Stimulus?
The Stimulus JavaScript framework offers a focused, unassuming approach to enhancing existing HTML without imposing a heavy-handed paradigm shift. Rather than aiming to manage the entire frontend, Stimulus quietly complements the markup you already have, empowering it with reactive behaviors and dynamic functionality. This open-source library, with its modest ambitions, provides a refreshingly pragmatic alternative to all-encompassing frameworks, allowing developers to selectively introduce interactivity and responsiveness where needed, without radically altering the foundation of their applications
