Wagtail (Django CMS) - RFC to adopt Stimulus

Hey all.

I am on the core team for Wagdail (a CMS built on Django/Python).

We have an RFC process for adoption of major-ish new changes in the CMS and I have been working with our UI team over the last few months on options for our JavaScript stack.

Thought I would post here for any feedback or for anyone curious.

I’m hopeful it will be adopted but not sure as it’s a big project and there are lots of facets to consider.

Annnnd Stimulus has gone live in Wagtail!

:wave: I thought I’d come share an update on this for people interested in Stimulus adoption in the wild.

  • Wagtail now has official documentation about how our site implementers can leverage Stimulus for their customizations
  • We showcase this new documentation in the release notes for Wagtail 5.2, alongside the many refactorings we’ve done for maintainability purposes.

@lbee has been key to this effort, having produced the initial RFC, taken it through review towards being approved, and now leading the refactoring.
