Alpine.js Development

Just enough JavaScript, written where the markup is.

Most pages need a dropdown, a modal, a tab set and a toggle — perhaps two percent of what a front-end framework exists to provide. Alpine gives you exactly that, declared as attributes on the element it affects, with no build step and no virtual DOM. Because the behaviour sits next to the markup, a page's interactivity can be understood by reading the page, which is not true of an equivalent component split across three files.

Why we use it

Alpine carries the interactivity on this site and on most of the applications we build, paired with server-rendered HTML. Fifteen kilobytes and no build pipeline is the correct amount of JavaScript for a page whose job is to display content and accept a form. We move to a full framework when the interface is genuinely an application — complex client-side state, offline behaviour, heavy interaction. Using Alpine there would mean reinventing a framework badly, one attribute at a time.
