How I Built It: Calendar UI with Turbo Frames, Tailwind, and Alpine.js

[@ArturTrzop]

I like the new feature!

[@adamlogic]

Thanks Artur!

How does Alpine fit into the Rails ecosystem? Is it an alternative to Stimulus?

[@adamlogic]

Yes, exactly. Alpine is a lightweight tool for applying behavior on top of server-generated HTML, just like Stimulus. I use it instead of Stimulus because I find it more declarative and requiring less boilerplate. This would be a good video topic! 😁

@@adamlogicwould definitely love to watch a video on this! I’m using stimulusJS with turbo at work currently.
Came across your video when I was searching if it was possible to use Phlex with Turbo! Thanks for this video!

Question... How would this work with something like ActionCable so that multiple people get real time updates?

[@adamlogic]

I haven't done much with ActionCable, but that sounds like a great idea for another video!

[@NTbooze]

Great video. Is there a repo for this?

[@adamlogic]

Thanks! No public repo since this feature is part of our SaaS app, but I'll see if I can extract something for a public repo in future videos.

Did I beat Aaron?

By a mile!
