In another hand it increases the number of dependencies a user have to handle.\r\n\r\n* BootstrapAdminUi may propose a way to allow users to chose if it should start a Stimulus app or not.\r\nIt may increase the complexity of maintenance of BootstrapAdminUi.\r\nIt will keep the nice DX allowing people to not care about the Stimulus part if they don't need to.\r\n\r\n* BootstrapAdminUi may propose to reuse it's started Stimulus app in order to register custom controllers with it.\r\nUsers won't be able to use the default behavior of the Stimulus Bundle which register the controllers automagically.\r\nOthers \"admin UI theme\" may chose to do the same to ease life of users.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/brambaud","@type":"Person","name":"brambaud"},"datePublished":"2024-12-31T10:56:33.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/200/Stack/issues/200"}
