browserslist VS Stimulus

Not these days, where most people are using evergreen browsers and iOS users upgrade very quickly.

Take a look at the defaults for browserslist, for example:

https://browsersl.ist/#q=defaults

It just barely supports Safari 15, on iOS only, and that’s likely to go away imminently because it’s under 1% usage.

We compile JS only for modern browsers. The list of default browsers in Next can be overridden in your browserslist.

In the latest versions of Next.js, targeting specific browsers or features is a breeze using the Browserslist configuration in your package.json file. The latest version of Next.js (v13) uses the following configuration by default:

For a more general answer to browser support, check out https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist. That seems to be standard tool to help you with that.

As someone else pointed out, you're overestimating Chrome/ium's market share.

Regardless, after the web.dev/baseline announcement, I looked at Browslerlist and one of our site's analytics and it is shocking how many people are not using the last two versions of evergreen browsers. There is a long tail of browser versions in those stats.

The way folks handle this in production is with browserslist, which lets you query on different things you want to support: https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist. This in turn tells other parts of your tooling what language features to transpile for production.

I imagine tools could be built on top of that which do what you’re asking too

# .browserslist.rc # Babel Preset configuration # -------------------------- # Defines web-browser compatibility parameters for Babel to transpile your JS code. # This configuration is used by babel.config.js. # More information in here. # https://github.com/browserslist/browserslist # Support browsers with a market share higher than 5% >10%

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/

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!
