This is great! I've been looking to create a combo box (that's not just a dropdown select) and this can be modified to do just that!

I've been going back and forth between Hotwire and HTMX. I'm still trying to figure out which solution I like best. Hotwire is more intuitive, and seems to have more learning resources available. On the other hand, one of the things I really like about HTMX is the built-in animation. Have you come across any resources for animating basic CRUD methods with Hotwire (without having to get Stimulus involved)?

In `search_controller.js`, is it possible to use jQuery?

  wrx02 Yea, you could if you needed to. However, checkout https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ first.

Has there been any breaking change past 3 months? I followed this tutorial twice now, but connect() does not fire at all, as if there is no connection. I tried copy/pasting and even placing data-controller on the upper div through plain HTML, and print console messages. Nothing. 

Any tips would be appreciated :)

  Bashar Not that I'm aware of. Check for JS errors.

  David Kimura  Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately no console errors. Will dig further :)

  Bashar I have been having similar issue and running command 'rails assets:precompile' helped me to solve it

  yogini  Thanks! I had given up on this a while back, so forgot where I stopped. Maybe I will give it another go
