Hey 🙂
I’m using stimulus on a side project and I wanted to create a Mixin (aka methods you can inject in a controller) to avoid duplication of my code in different controllers.
What’s the “right” way in stimulus to do that.
Basically I’m looking for that concept: [https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/mixins.html](https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/mixins.html)

You can extend controllers [as described here](https://discuss.hotwired.dev/t/what-s-planned-for-stimulus-1-1/144/10?u=sudara) to inherit the targets/methods. That’s been pretty useful for me.
You can also have multiple stimulus controllers per DOM element, essentially letting you mix and match groups of behaviors on the fly. I find it nicest to keep stimulus methods concerned with just responding to events on targets and light data/dom manipulation and tuck more complex logic away in other modules.

I’ve searched this question too and found this super useful [Mixins - Better StimulusJS](https://www.betterstimulus.com/architecture/mixins.html)
