A Stimulus Component PoC

[tangentus]

I have been more and more acquainted with Stimulus and really love its simplicity and flexibility. The same is true with my experience with the ViewComponent library. I really wanted a way to do both at the same time.

This creates a HOC-ish class that allows you to build stimulus components with a concise dsl.

Positives

• Don't need to remember Stimulus' data api
• Embeds Stimulus naming conventions so that they are "default"
• Can be expanded to take an actual component to be rendered instead of the raw markup

Questions

• Does this provide a better experience, or just a different one?
• How would this be incorporated into the ViewComponent library?

Gist for Stimulus PoC

@tbroad-ramsey this is lovely! I could see this being released as a stimulus_component gem 😄. I'd be more than happy to link to it in the view_component documentation.

Hey thats awesome! I am so glad you like it. I will start working on a Gem for this. Do you have any comments/criticisms for this implementation? Any ideas you would like to see embodied?

@tbroad-ramsey I'm probably not the best person to provide feedback here, as I have yet to use Stimulus myself. I'd recommend finding someone who has for more relevant reviews 😄
