This is why I have been so pumped for LiveView. It just removes so much javascript from the equation
And when you need to use JS, you can do so in a clean and controllable way.
Using Liveview to mount and unmount custom vue components can give you an extremely nice workflow, where you can just treat a complex select (akin to select2) as another type of input
Be sure to check out surface-ui. Marlus is a great guy, and surface really feels like the missing piece of liveview
