Creating this thread for the AlpineJS module ?

Sounds great already!  But hope some more info is coming))

Well it's a very simple module! It just loads Alpine into the ProcessWire admin to be usable from other modules.

Hi @elabx,

First of all, thank you for the AlpineJS module!

I have been working on a fork to modernize the module and make it more flexible for my projects. Instead of shipping a static (and potentially outdated) JS file, I implemented a downloader mechanism.

Here is a summary of the new features I added:

• Local Hosting & Updater: The module can now download the latest Alpine.js core and plugins directly from unpkg.com to the server. This allows for 1-Click Updates via the module config without needing a module update.

• Plugin Support: Added checkboxes to easily enable official plugins (Mask, Intersect, Persist, Focus, Collapse, Morph, History).

You can review the changes in my fork here: https://github.com/markusthomas/AlpineJS

I think these changes would be a good addition to the your repository. Would you be interested in a Pull Request?

Best regards, Markus

[elabx]

Yes of course, let's do a pull request! I've just been running on this version non-stop lol

Would you happen to know that's the proper way to mark a release now??

You can click "Refresh". I increased the version from 005 to 006, this shoud do the job.

[elabx]

Ah meant more in a "github" kinda release. 

[markus-th]

Oh sorry, i missunderstood this.

Go to "Releases" > "Draft a new release".

Thanks for merging @elabx!

That is awesome news. My main goal with these changes was to be able to list this module as a dependency ('requires') for my other current and upcoming modules.

Now I can rely on a central Alpine.js source instead of bundling/implementing it separately in every single module. That makes maintenance much easier.

Thanks again for the collaboration!

On the contrary, I'd call your version a proper release, thanks in return!

What are you building with Alpine if it's possible to share? The only thing i've built is FieldtypeRecurringDates

I can't say much about it at the moment, as the module I'm currently developing is tailored specifically to a customer's needs.

However, I plan to release a slightly different version later on, which will work in a similar way to the WordPress Media Manager.
