QUESTION: How to customize data- attribute names?

[elquimista]

When I try to use other third party JS library (datepicker), stimulus complains. The datepicker library was using data-action attribute internally for dynamically generated DOM elements and I was using data-controller for body tag myself. What is the proper way to customize stimulus' data- attribute names, in order to avoid this name conflict?

data-controller
data-action
data-target
...

I think I saw it somewhere before, but can't remember now, tried to search but no luck.

Please let me know and can we document it in the stimulusjs.org?

We don’t recommend changing the attribute names, but if you must, you can pass a Schema as the second argument to the Application constructor:

const application = new Application(document.documentElement, {
  controllerAttribute: "data-controller",
  actionAttribute: "data-action"
  targetAttribute: "data-target"
})
// ...
application.start()
