Alpine.js

JavaScript

Utilities & helpers

Tiny JavaScript framework for adding interactivity to HTML — no build step needed.

What it does

Alpine.js lets you add dropdowns, tabs, toggles, and other interactive behavior directly in your HTML using special attributes. No build step, no React — just sprinkle it in.

When to use it

Use this when you need simple interactivity (tabs, toggles, dropdowns) without adding React or Vue.

Real example

You have a static FAQ page and want accordion open/close behavior without installing React. Prompt: 'Add Alpine.js via CDN. On each .faq-item div add x-data="{ open: false }". On the question button add @click="open = !open". On the answer div add x-show="open" x-transition.'
