Back again with another Rails talk!

Today I do a quick run through of getting Rails 6.1 working with ActionCable and Stimulus (or Stimulus JS, if you prefer). And no, I’m not doing a messaging app, I am doing an app that pushes out object updates to a webpage.

I am using the new Stimulus 2, which was released on December 4, 2020
