Stimulus JS is a modest yet powerful JavaScript framework that augments your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine.

We all share common behaviors between our applications and no one want to reinvent the wheel. That is why the Stimulus Components library exists. To bring you generic and customizable controllers in your applications.

Every components of this library share a same philosophy:

  • Have a great documentation and demo.
  • Can be extended and customized for your needs with a strong API.
  • Be easy to learn and use.
  • Completely unstyled, UI agnostic. You bring the design, we bring the JavaScript.
  • Be as close as possible to the Stimulus conventions.

The Stimulus Components library is already used by hundreds of developers and many companies.
