A collection of composable behaviors for your Stimulus Controllers
- New lifecycle behaviors: adds new standard behaviors to your Stimulus controllers.
- Composable: compose at will different behaviors in a single controller with mixins.
- Modular: built as ES6 modules, just import what you need and tree shaking will remove the rest.
- Typescript: Types available, better autocompletion.
- Tiny: 3k gzip + tree shaking 🌳🌳🌳
If you want to use stimulus-use with Stimulus 3 you can use the version 0.50.0+. This and all future versions are designed to work with the @hotwired/stimulus npm package.
Note: If other packages still depend on the stimulus npm package you can safely keep that in your package.json, this won't break the stimulus-use compability.
npm i stimulus-use @hotwired/stimulusyarn add stimulus-use @hotwired/stimulusIf you want to use stimulus-use with Stimulus 2 (or below) you can use version 0.41.0. This version is designed to work with the stimulus npm package.

This set of mixins is built around the Observer APIs and custom events to enhance your controllers with new behaviors.
| Mixin | Description | NEW Callbacks |
|---|---|---|
useClickOutside |
Tracks the clicks outside of the element and adds a new lifecycle callback clickOutside. | clickOutside |
useHotkeys |
Registers hotkeys using the hotkeys-js library and binds them to handler methods | |
useHover |
Tracks the user's mouse movements over an element and adds mouseEnter and mouseLeave callbacks to your controller. | mouseEnter mouseLeave |
useIdle |
Tracks if the user is idle on your page and adds away and back callbacks to your controller. | awayback |
useIntersection |
Tracks the element's intersection and adds appear, disappear callbacks to your controller. | appeardisappear |
useMatchMedia |
Tracks if the window matches a media query string. | is[Name], not[Name] and [name]Changed |
useMutation |
Tracks mutations on an element, its attributes and/or subtree. Adds a mutate callback to your controller. | mutate |
useResize |
Tracks the element's size and adds a new lifecycle callback resize. | resize |
useTargetMutation |
Tracks when targets are added or removed from the controller's scope, or their contents changed. Adds [target]TargetAdded , [target]TargetRemoved and [target]TargetChanged callback to your controller for each specified target. | [target]TargetAdded [target]TargetRemoved [target]TargetChanged |
useVisibility |
Tracks the page visibility and adds visible, invisible callbacks to your controller. | visibleinvisible |
useWindowFocus |
Tracks the window focus and adds focus, unfocus callbacks to your controller. | focusunfocus |
useWindowResize |
Tracks the size of the window object and adds a new lifecycle callback windowResize. |
windowResize |
A set of mixin to optimize performances.
| Mixin | Description |
|---|---|
useDebounce |
Adds the ability to specify an array "debounces" of functions to debounce. |
useMemo |
Memoize expensive getters by mixing in useMemo and adding a static memos array. |
useThrottle |
Adds the ability to specify an array "throttles" of functions to throttle. |
A set of mixin and controllers to build animations.
| Mixin | Description |
|---|---|
useTransition |
Mixin or controller to apply classes to various stages of an element's transition. |
| Mixin | Description |
|---|---|
useApplication, ApplicationController |
supercharged controller for your application. |
useDispatch |
Adds a dispatch helper function to emit custom events. Useful to communicate between different controllers. |
useMeta |
Adds getters to easily access meta values. |
Stimulus-use can be used in two ways: composing with mixins or extending built-in controllers
Composing with mixins
This is the prefered approach as it bring the most flexibility. Simply import a mixin and apply it in the connect or initialize to adds new behaviors to you controller. You can combine several mixins within the same controller.
import { Controller } from '@hotwired/stimulus'
import { useIntersection, useResize } from 'stimulus-use'
export default class extends Controller {
connect() {
useIntersection(this)
useResize(this)
}
appear(entry) {
// triggered when the element appears within the viewport
}
resize({ height, width }) {
// trigered when the element is resized
}
}Extending built-in controllers
You can create your Stimulus controller from a pre-built Stimulus-use controller which offers the new behavior you're looking for. This method works perfectly when you only need a single behavior for your controller.
import { IntersectionController } from 'stimulus-use'
export default class extends IntersectionController {
appear(entry) {
// triggered when the element appears within the viewport
}
