Modern Front-End Development for Rails: Stimulus chapter intro outdated in B6 as-of Jan 2021 PDF pp 29-31

Changes needed for the text in the What is Stimulus and Installing Stimulus sections in :

  • Footnote 1 is outdated: Should be https://stimulus.hotwire.dev (URL in footnote redirects, so it’s not truly broken.

  • Stimulus 2.0 was released on Dec 4, 2020, so the section about using the 2.0 pre-release and modifying the package.json can be removed on page. (You still need to temporarily rename app/javascript/packs/application.ts to .js and back to .ts as-of now.)

  • Footnote 2 is outdated due to a repo move: Should be https://github.com/hotwired/stimulus/pull/202 (URL in footnote redirects, so it’s not truly broken)

We’re updating this entire chapter.
