The Outlet of Rails Stimulus

Besides values and targets Rails Stimulus has now outlets. Now we can invoke functions from one controller to the other like that:

// result_controller.js
export default class extends Controller {
  markAsSelected(event) {
    // ...
  }
}
JavaScript
// search_controller.js
export default class extends Controller {
  static outlets = [ "result" ]

  selectAll(event) {
    this.resultOutlets.forEach(result => result.markAsSelected(event))
  }
JavaScript
