🎛 Extending Controller
You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus component:
import Autosave from 'stimulus-rails-autosave'
export default class extends Autosave {
static values = {
delay: {
type: Number,
default: 1000, // You can change the default delay here.
},
}
connect() {
super.connect()
console.log('Do what you want here.')
}
}
This controller will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.
If you override the connect
, disconnect
or any other methods from the parent, you'll want to call super.method()
to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
