Dear followers,

Here's a short update of what I've been up to last month. Enjoy! 🎁

Betterstimulus

In September I've added two more articles to the knowledge base:

Targetless Controllers: Avoid mixing behavior acting on the controller element itself with behavior acting on Stimulus targets
Don't Overuseconnect: Be sceptical of controllers that stuff too much setup code into connect. Often there's a better place for it, or you should divide up your controller into smaller ones.

👀 But... there's more coming later this month. Keep your eyes peeled for updates. Here's a teaser:

New Hotwire Club Challenges

I've published a new challenge for the Hotwire Club:

Stimulus - Image Upload Previews withURL.createObjectURL: We explored how to display instantaneous image previews when uploading files.

Individual Hotwire Club Posts for Sale

A new feature of Patreon that might be interesting for a couple of you: You can now buy individual posts, and I've enabled this for all locked ones. So if you're holding back on a permanent subscription but are interested in individual solutions, you can now purchase them, just head over to https://www.patreon.com/TheHotwireClub:

And that's it for September - see you next month! ✌️
