# Stimulus for Rails

[Stimulus](https://stimulus.hotwired.dev) is a JavaScript framework with
modest ambitions.  It doesn't seek to take over your entire front-end in
fact, it's not concerned with rendering HTML at all.  Instead, it's designed
to augment your HTML with just enough behavior to make it shine.  Stimulus
pairs beautifully with Turbo to provide a complete solution for fast,
compelling applications with a minimal amount of effort.  Together they form
the core of [Hotwire](https://hotwired.dev).

Stimulus for Rails makes it easy to use this modest framework with both
import-mapped and JavaScript-bundled apps.  It relies on either
`importmap-rails` to make Stimulus available via ESM or a Node-capable Rails
(like via `jsbundling-rails`) to include Stimulus in the bundle.  Make sure
to install one of these first!
