tingle

Pros of Micromodal

• Lightweight and minimal, with a smaller file size (3.5KB vs 4KB for Tingle)
• Supports multiple modal instances on a single page
• Offers programmatic control for opening and closing modals

Cons of Micromodal

• Less customization options out-of-the-box compared to Tingle
• Requires more manual setup for styling and positioning
• Limited built-in animation options

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']
});

Micromodal:

MicroModal.init({
    openTrigger: 'data-custom-open',
    closeTrigger: 'data-custom-close',
    disableScroll: true,
    disableFocus: false,
    awaitOpenAnimation: false,
    awaitCloseAnimation: false
});

Both libraries offer easy-to-use modal functionality, but Micromodal focuses on simplicity and lightweight implementation, while Tingle provides more built-in customization options. Micromodal may require more custom CSS for advanced styling, whereas Tingle offers more out-of-the-box features for positioning and animations.

Pros of SweetAlert2

• More feature-rich with a wider range of customization options
• Larger community and more frequent updates
• Built-in accessibility features and keyboard navigation

Cons of SweetAlert2

• Larger file size, which may impact page load times
• More complex API, potentially steeper learning curve
• Dependency on Promise API (may require polyfills for older browsers)

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!'
}).then((result) => {
  if (result.isConfirmed) {
    // Deletion logic here
  }
})

Tingle:

var modal = new tingle.modal({
  footer: true,
  stickyFooter: false,
  closeMethods: ['overlay', 'button', 'escape'],
  closeLabel: "Close"
});
modal.setContent('<h1>Are you sure?</h1><p>You won\'t be able to revert this!</p>');
modal.addFooterBtn('Yes, delete it!', 'tingle-btn tingle-btn--primary', function() {
  // Deletion logic here
  modal.close();
});
modal.open();

Both libraries offer modal functionality, but SweetAlert2 provides a more declarative API with built-in promise support, while Tingle offers a more imperative approach with greater control over modal structure.

Pros of Tether

• More comprehensive positioning options, including pinning to multiple elements
• Larger community and more frequent updates
• Better support for complex layouts and responsive designs

Cons of Tether

• Larger file size and potentially more complex to implement
• May be overkill for simple modal or popup use cases
• Requires more configuration to achieve basic functionality

Code Comparison

Tether:

new Tether({
  element: '#element-to-move',
  target: '#target-element',
  attachment: 'top left',
  targetAttachment: 'bottom left'
});

Tingle:

var modal = new tingle.modal({
  footer: true,
  stickyFooter: false,
  closeMethods: ['overlay', 'button', 'escape'],
  closeLabel: "Close"
});
modal.setContent('<h1>Hello world</h1>');
modal.open();

Summary

Tether is a more powerful and flexible positioning library, ideal for complex layouts and advanced use cases. It offers more control over element positioning but may be excessive for simple modal implementations.

Tingle, on the other hand, is specifically designed for creating modal windows with a simpler API. It's easier to set up for basic modal functionality but lacks the advanced positioning features of Tether.

Choose Tether for complex positioning needs and Tingle for straightforward modal implementations.

Pros of Tippyjs

• More comprehensive tooltip and popover solution with extensive customization options
• Larger community and more frequent updates
• Better performance and smaller bundle size

Cons of Tippyjs

• Steeper learning curve due to more features and options
• May be overkill for simple modal or dialog requirements
• Requires additional setup for modal-like functionality

Code Comparison

Tingle (creating a modal):

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>Hello world</h1>');
modal.open();

Tippyjs (creating a tooltip):

tippy('#myButton', {
    content: 'Hello world',
    placement: 'top',
    arrow: true,
    animation: 'fade',
});

Summary

Tingle is focused on creating modals and dialogs, while Tippyjs is primarily for tooltips and popovers. Tippyjs offers more features and customization options but may be more complex for simple use cases. Tingle provides a straightforward solution for modals but lacks the versatility of Tippyjs. Choose based on your specific needs: Tingle for quick modal implementations, Tippyjs for advanced tooltip and popover functionality.
