We’ll take an informal stroll around Alpine and see if we can recognize similarities in some core functionality.</a>

However, the implementation is tailored for the specific example we’ve been using in this series. In this episode, we’ll make a few refactors to make the codebase more flexible and support other use cases and functionality.

<p style="font-size: 16px; margin: 0;">

This is yet another task that can be cumbersome to implement manually. Now, this process is made simple by adding an attribute like “@click” to an element. In this episode, we’ll implement a system to process and handle these attributes.
