Micromodal

Pros of Tingle

• More customizable with additional options for positioning, transitions, and callbacks
• Supports multiple instances on a single page
• Includes built-in CSS styles for quicker implementation

Cons of Tingle

• Larger file size (11.5KB vs 3.5KB for Micromodal)
• Less focus on accessibility features
• Requires more setup code for basic functionality

Code Comparison

Tingle:

var modal = new tingle.modal({
    footer: true,
    stickyFooter: false,
    closeMethods: ['overlay', 'button', 'escape'],
    closeLabel: "Close",
    cssClass: ['custom-class-1', 'custom-class-2'],
});
modal.setContent('<h1>Here\'s some content</h1>');
modal.open();

Micromodal:

MicroModal.init();
MicroModal.show('modal-1');

Both libraries offer lightweight solutions for creating modal dialogs, but they cater to different needs. Tingle provides more out-of-the-box features and customization options, making it suitable for complex use cases. Micromodal, on the other hand, focuses on simplicity and accessibility, with a smaller footprint and easier implementation for basic modal functionality. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of your project, balancing features against file size and ease of use.

Pros of Modaal

• More customizable appearance with built-in themes and styling options
• Supports image galleries and iframes out of the box
• Includes accessibility features like ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation

Cons of Modaal

• Larger file size (around 23KB minified) compared to Micromodal's lightweight approach
• Requires jQuery as a dependency
• Less focus on performance optimization

Code Comparison

Micromodal:

MicroModal.show('modal-id');

Modaal:

$('.modal-trigger').modaal({
  type: 'inline',
  content_source: '#modal-content'
});

Summary

Modaal offers more built-in features and customization options, making it suitable for projects requiring complex modal functionality. However, it comes at the cost of a larger file size and jQuery dependency. Micromodal, on the other hand, focuses on simplicity and performance, with a smaller footprint and no dependencies. The choice between the two depends on project requirements, with Modaal being better for feature-rich modals and Micromodal for lightweight, performant implementations.

Pros of Remodal

• More customizable with various animation options and styles
• Supports multiple instances on a single page
• Includes built-in close button functionality

Cons of Remodal

• Larger file size and potentially heavier performance impact
• Less focus on accessibility features
• Requires jQuery as a dependency

Code Comparison

Remodal:

$(document).on('opening', '.remodal', function () {
  console.log('Modal is opening');
});

$('[data-remodal-id=modal]').remodal();

Micromodal:

MicroModal.init({
  onShow: modal => console.log(`${modal.id} is shown`)
});

MicroModal.show('modal-1');

Key Differences

• Remodal uses jQuery syntax and relies on the library, while Micromodal is vanilla JavaScript
• Micromodal has a more straightforward API with a focus on simplicity
• Remodal offers more built-in customization options, but Micromodal provides better accessibility out of the box
• Micromodal has a smaller footprint and potentially better performance, especially for simpler use cases
• Remodal may be easier to implement for developers already familiar with jQuery, while Micromodal aligns better with modern JavaScript practices

Pros of SweetAlert2

• More feature-rich with a wide range of customization options
• Larger community and more frequent updates
• Built-in themes and animations

Cons of SweetAlert2

• Larger file size, which may impact page load times
• More complex API, potentially steeper learning curve
• Dependency on CSS for styling

Code Comparison

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire({
  title: 'Are you sure?',
  text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
  icon: 'warning',
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
})

Micromodal:

MicroModal.show('modal-1', {
  onShow: modal => console.info(`${modal.id} is shown`),
  onClose: modal => console.info(`${modal.id} is hidden`),
  openTrigger: 'data-custom-open',
  closeTrigger: 'data-custom-close'
});

SweetAlert2 offers a more declarative approach with built-in options for common use cases, while Micromodal provides a simpler API focused on modal functionality. SweetAlert2 is better suited for complex alert scenarios, whereas Micromodal excels in lightweight, customizable modal implementations.
