I love writing JavaScript. It feels lightweight, free-form, and flexible--all qualities that boost creativity and invite me to practice new and interesting techniques. Over time, I've developed lots of patterns and principles that help me day to day. In this talk, I'll show you a handful of them and then we'll look at how I apply them inside the AlpineJS codebase itself. It's gonna be a good time!

Modern JavaScript is powerful, but big frameworks like Vue or React add an overwhelming amount of complexity to a developers' workflow. That’s why I wrote AlpineJS. It’s less than 10kb, requires no build process, takes almost no time to learn, yet gives you the declarative templating and reactivity you can’t live without. I can’t wait to show it to you.
