Top SolidJS Components Libraries

BuilderIO/mitosis is a tool for writing components once and compiling them to multiple frameworks.

Code Example

import { useState } from '@builder.io/mitosis';

export default function Counter() {
  const [count, setCount] = useState(0);
  return <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>Count: {count}</button>;
}

Pros

• Allows writing components once and compiling to multiple frameworks, unlike twin.macro or fireworks-js.
• Provides a more comprehensive solution for cross-framework development compared to component-party.dev or unpic-img.
• Offers greater flexibility in target frameworks than most other projects mentioned.

Cons

• Has a steeper learning curve compared to framework-specific solutions like twin.macro or fireworks-js.
• May introduce additional complexity to the development process compared to single-framework solutions.
• Lacks the specific focus on CSS-in-JS (twin.macro) or image optimization (unpic-img) that some other projects offer.

ben-rogerson/twin.macro is a CSS-in-JS library that combines the power of Tailwind CSS with the flexibility of CSS-in-JS.

Code Example

import tw from 'twin.macro'

const Button = tw.button`bg-blue-500 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white font-bold py-2 px-4 rounded`

Pros

• Offers a unique blend of Tailwind's utility classes with the dynamic capabilities of CSS-in-JS, unlike other projects in the list.
• Provides a more seamless integration of Tailwind CSS into React projects compared to traditional CSS approaches.
• Allows for more flexible and dynamic styling compared to static CSS frameworks or component libraries.

Cons

• Has a steeper learning curve compared to traditional CSS or component libraries like component-party.dev.
• Lacks the cross-framework compatibility offered by BuilderIO/mitosis, which focuses on converting components between different frameworks.
• Does not address specific image optimization concerns like ascorbic/unpic-img, which specializes in responsive images across frameworks.

Component Party is a website that showcases and compares component syntax across various JavaScript frameworks.

Pros

• Provides a comprehensive comparison of component syntax across multiple frameworks, unlike the other projects which focus on specific functionalities.
• Offers an interactive learning experience for developers to understand different framework syntaxes side-by-side.
• Regularly updated to include new frameworks and syntax changes, keeping it relevant for developers.

Cons

• Unlike BuilderIO/mitosis or ben-rogerson/twin.macro, it doesn't provide actual code transformation or styling capabilities.
• Lacks the specific image optimization features offered by ascorbic/unpic-img.
• Doesn't provide interactive visual effects like crashmax-dev/fireworks-js, focusing solely on code comparison.

ascorbic/unpic-img is a multi-framework component for responsive, high-performance images.

Code Example

import { Image } from "@unpic/react";

<Image src="https://example.com/image.jpg" layout="constrained" width={800} height={600} alt="Example image" />

Pros

• Provides a unified image component across multiple frameworks, unlike framework-specific solutions like BuilderIO/mitosis
• Focuses specifically on image optimization and responsiveness, offering more specialized features than general-purpose tools like ben-rogerson/twin.macro
• Offers built-in support for various image CDNs and optimizations, which is not a primary focus of projects like matschik/component-party.dev or crashmax-dev/fireworks-js

Cons

• Limited to image-related functionality, unlike more versatile tools like BuilderIO/mitosis for cross-framework component development
• Lacks the broader styling capabilities offered by ben-rogerson/twin.macro for CSS-in-JS solutions
• Does not provide the interactive learning experience or component comparisons found in matschik/component-party.dev

crashmax-dev/fireworks-js is a lightweight JavaScript library for creating customizable fireworks animations on web pages.

Code Example

import { Fireworks } from 'fireworks-js'

const fireworks = new Fireworks(document.body)
fireworks.start()

Pros

• Focused and specialized: Unlike the other projects, it provides a specific animation effect, making it easy to implement fireworks displays.
• Lightweight and performant: Compared to more complex libraries like BuilderIO/mitosis or ben-rogerson/twin.macro, it has a smaller footprint and better performance for its specific use case.
• Easy to use: It offers a simpler API compared to general-purpose libraries, making it more accessible for developers who just need fireworks animations.

Cons

• Limited scope: Unlike BuilderIO/mitosis or component-party.dev, it doesn't offer a wide range of UI components or cross-framework compatibility.
• Less versatile: Compared to twin.macro or unpic-img, it doesn't provide general-purpose styling or image optimization capabilities.
• Specific use case: It may not be as broadly applicable in projects as the other libraries, which offer more general-purpose functionality.
