Cheat Sheet: Using Stimulus.js in Rails

Create and Connect a Stimulus Controller

Create a new Stimulus controller file, either:

with rails g stimulus my_feature, or
by manually adding a file in the controllers directory of your Rails application, e.g., app/javascript/controllers/my_feature_controller.js.

The controller file should define your Stimulus controller class:

When hiring Ruby on Rails programmers, knowing the right questions to ask during an interview was a real challenge for me at first.

I rarely come across a website that has decent pagination, and it always makes me wonder why so few manage to get it right. After all, I'd say that pagination is pretty easy to get right. Alas, that doesn't seem the case, so after encouragement from Chris Messina on Flickr I decided to write my Pagination 101, hopefully it'll give you some clues as to what makes good pagination.

Before going into analyzing good and bad pagination, I want to explain just what I consider to be pagination: Pagination is any kind of control system that lets the user browse through pages of search results, archives, or any other kind of continued content. Search results are the o
