RazorLight VS Stimulus

Yes, I have used Razor pages in non-website applications before where I needed to load the cshtml templates from a different source. I have written Line of Business apps (think WinForms or WPF) where the reporting spits out HTML with tables and charts. There are a number of similar projects to yours out there which I have used in the past such as RazorLight or RazorMachine.

Your mileage may vary but I've had good luck with the RazorLight library for generating HTML emails from a template with data merged in. Under the hood, it uses the ASP.NET Razor engine for applying a model to a template.

We use https://github.com/toddams/RazorLight in combination with serverless functions.

you could use a razor based engine to generate html based on a view model (your data). take a look at: https://github.com/toddams/RazorLight i use it to generate html emails

Rails has a templating system for generating emails (standard HTML/ERB files). If you're running an ASP.NET Web API (not MVC) the best way of doing that I've found is via Razorlight which you have to set up manually - https://github.com/toddams/RazorLight

With Rails the standard is pretty much Devise or Omniauth (or both) - does everything for you. I've never found anything for ASP like Devise which gives you an entire login system with all the required views/migrations in a couple commands.

I also recommend checking out the docs for Stimulus and Turbo to familiarise yourself with all their features and the APIs used in this series.

Any tips on preparing to work with Wiz as an incoming intern. I heard its identical to Stimulus: https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/

use Stimulus

With Stimulus, you've got a powerful tool to take your app's interactivity up a notch. For even more awesome features and Stimulus wizardry, check out the Stimulus Documentation.

The next version of Stimulus makes it easier to access parts of the private API thanks to my pull request.

I like Stimulus, it was a bit pushed by Symfony with their ux thing.

I thought it'd be https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/ for a minute but I think that ecosystem is tied too closely with rails.

Hey HN!

For those new to Rails, Stimulus (https://stimulus.hotwired.dev/) is a way to sprinkle frontend javascript code into your Rails views.

I held off using Stimulus in my Rails apps for a long time because I didn't understand it — the data= attributes looked weird, and the connection between my Rails views and Stimulus javascript controllers was confusing.

So I decided to write the guide I wish I had when I was learning Stimulus.

Hope you enjoy it! I'm happy to answer any questions, feel free to ask any.

Thanks, Harrison

Hey /r/rails, these past few weeks, I've been working on a beginner's guide to Stimulus and I'm excited to finally share it!
