Twig VS Stimulus

Miscommunication in our projects is costly. A single misunderstood User Story can result in 3 days of wasted development time. Additionally, when developers do not use the same programming language, it may be necessary to construct APIs to facilitate communication, which can also be expensive. It is important to consider why front-end developers may be hesitant to work with Twig and how this can lead to a disconnect between front-end and back-end development.

The first step before generating the PDF is writing the HTML. To generate the HTML string, we will use the Twig template engine, which is the default one in Symfony. It comes with tons of features such as inheritance, blocks, filters, functions, and more.

In the phase of outputting data, you can use template engines like Twig or Blade or htmlspecialchars function.

Joomla dips into and out of php to get vars/logic into the frontend, which is fine, but it's nowhere near as tidy as a full-fledged templating engine like blade or twig which many other php CMSs offer out of the box.

FTLOG, use a template engine. Do NOT use PHP itself as a template engine (ironic given its origins). The best are probably Twig (https://twig.symfony.com/) (used by Symfony and a few others) and Latte (https://latte.nette.org/) (less widely used, but its syntax is *way* more learnable as it's more like PHP itself).

It took me a while to find a PHP project that was simple enough for me to set up on a single Docker image, but after some trial and error I found the Twig project.

Symfony uses Twig, a fast, secure, and flexible templating engine. Twig allows the developer to define custom tags and filters and create Domain-Specific Languages (DSL).

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!
