Using ujs ajax events with stimulus actions

First of all, thank you for Stimulus – it’s great.

I’m wondering if it is possible currently or planned to be able to bind to ujs ajax events with stimulus’s action binding syntax.

I have a modal I want to close on an ajax:success event after the modal’s form is submitted . Placing the data attribute data: {action: 'ajax:success->modal#close'} on the form doesn’t seem to bind, or I haven’t been able to suss out my error.

It’s no problem to bind it manually once the controller is connected, but the action syntax is pretty nifty.

As @lsylvester says, you’ll need to make sure to use rails-ujs, which emits regular DOM events instead of jQuery events.

@mmlindeboom Are you using jquery_ujs or rails-ujs UJS adapter? I don’t have any problems listening to ajax:* events when using rails-ujs but I get nothing when using jquery_ujs, I think cause they are jquery events instead of dom events.
