Scoping when using Stimulus does not work as expected about stimulus_reflex HOT 2 CLOSED

@leastbad Thanks for the helpful response. The pattern I was using was the problem, and I've figured out a better solution.

Hi @moveson! I don't think you're in the Discord channel... yet? 😁

I have one piece of bad news and two pieces of good news for you.

It's not likely that StimulusReflex will ever work the way you describe because it's a can of worms and a slippery slope towards a dozen what-if scenarios that would bloat the API and logic like a cancer if we tried to account for every scenario. You are, of course, free and encouraged to modify the library to fit your needs.

The first good news is that while I can't read your mind, I think that I understand what you're ultimately trying to accomplish and I wrote the gem you don't realize you're looking for: Optimism.

The second good news is that CableReady - the library upon which StimulusReflex is built - allows you to take direct control of your DOM elements and more via websockets. With clever use of CableReady, you can morph any element you wish along with 12 other methods including emiting DOM events.
