Alpine.js

Meet Alpine.js, your sturdy, minimalist ally for crafting behavior effortlessly within your markup. Imagine it as the modern version of jQuery – one script tag and you're good to go.

Installation

To install Alpine, simply run this command:

npm install alpinejs

Then, initialize it in your JavaScript file:

import Alpine from 'alpinejs'
 
Alpine.start()

Kickstart your Alpine.js mastery with their documentation (opens in a new tab) for fundamental knowledge. Check out this sample dropdown component for a taste of what's possible:

<div x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = ! open">Toggle</button>
 
    <div x-show="open" @click.outside="open = false">Contents...</div>
</div>

And feast your eyes on this elegant search input:

<div
    x-data="{
        search: '',
 
        items: ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'],
 
        get filteredItems() {
            return this.items.filter(
                i => i.startsWith(this.search)
            )
        }
    }"
>
    <input x-model="search" placeholder="Search...">
 
    <ul>
        <template x-for="item in filteredItems" :key="item">
            <li x-text="item"></li>
        </template>
    </ul>
</div>
