Message Form Handling with Stimulus Discussion

11
General

Why not using stimulus data-action="keypress->conversation#submitForm" on text area instead of addEventListener?

Funny you should say that because in the next video (spoiler alert!), where we add some more stimulus, I refactor our code to do this but still with the keydown event.

oh, i see :D

Good point! Ensuring the load event fires after all resources are loaded definitely improves reliability.

@Martin Barilik Have you ever encountered a situation where data actions are not flexible enough, forcing you to fall back to addEventListener? I'm curious if there are any real limitations in Stimulus when working with complex events like keystrokes or drag-and-drop?

@amora321 I haven't had a problem with data attrributes so far. Seems you can do anything ;)
