I also rewrote Datastar’s Getting Started guide, which is a great way to learn about how reactivity works in Datastar, with interactive examples.

Congrats Ben! Anyone wanting to see it in action in a Craft project, the Craft Datastar Pokemon demo has been updated to work with the latest Craft Datastar as well -> https://github.com/khalwat/craft-datastar-pokemon-demo

If you were us, would you be continuing to use Sprig or should we look to be shifting to Datastar at this point? Or do they serve different purposes?

For new projects, I’d recommend Datastar. Unless perhaps your use-case is form heavy – we're still working out how to make working with forms easier using Datastar.

Can’t wait to try this on something!

Ben, is there a Sprig VS Datastar comparison? When would I choose Datastar over Sprig? If Datastar is the better choice will there be a migration guide?

They’re completely different approaches – you choose what you’re more comfortable with. Sprig is component-based and provides backend reactivity only, whereas Datastar is more fine-grained and provides frontend and backend reactivity. They’ll continue to co-exist, so no need for a migration guide.

The framework seems quite young. Would building out a whole commerce site with it be feasible right now, for example, the same way we leverage Sprig for products and checkout experiences?

The framework has been around for a year and a half, and I’ve just spent the past two months of my life helping design the perfect API for it. It’s young and ready!!
