As someone who is only vaguely familiar with Rails and doesnt really know anything about stimulus, it would be nice to have a "What this looks like" section with a gif of what the user sees. Otherwise, I dont know what this article is talking about. Im interested as there is probably some application to my daily work, but a wall of code and words doesnt tell me much very quickly.

I just added it. The preview text will become bold, but the idea is that you can send any kind of HTML to inject.

Great job! Now I get it!

I think the article would be better if you were to include even a basic template instead of just adding the <strong> tag. Right now, my first impression would be "why not just wrap the content in <strong> in JS instead of making a network request on every keystroke?"

The benefit of being able to reuse the server template logic isn't being demonstrate because of the simplicity of the example.

I was thinking of that, but I think the point is that you do any transformation in Ruby. I focused on how to do that. Thanks for the feedback.

It‘s just some ajax logic: Put something in a form, an ajax request will be made an the response is inserted into the dom.

The title is pure clickbait, it‘s nothing more than a simple ajax call. The type of logic you‘ve done 10 years ago with a little bit of jquery.

Please enlighten me what would be your title for the post? The idea is making a reusable Stimulus 2 controller.
