Pros of SweetAlert

• Simpler API and easier to use for basic alert scenarios
• Smaller file size, which can be beneficial for projects with minimal requirements
• Lightweight and less complex, making it easier to customize for specific needs

Cons of SweetAlert

• Limited features compared to SweetAlert2
• No longer actively maintained, with the last update in 2016
• Lacks modern JavaScript features and TypeScript support

Code Comparison

SweetAlert:

swal("Hello world!");

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire('Hello world!');

Both libraries offer a simple way to display alerts, but SweetAlert2 provides more advanced features and customization options. For example:

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire({
  title: 'Are you sure?',
  text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
  icon: 'warning',
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6',
  cancelButtonColor: '#d33',
  confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
});

This level of customization is not available in the original SweetAlert library. SweetAlert2 offers more flexibility and features, making it a better choice for projects that require advanced alert functionality or ongoing support and updates.

Pros of SweetAlert2

• More actively maintained with frequent updates
• Larger community and contributor base
• Better documentation and examples

Cons of SweetAlert2

• Slightly larger file size
• May have more features than needed for simple use cases

Code Comparison

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire({
  title: 'Are you sure?',
  text: "You won't be able to revert this!",
  icon: 'warning',
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: '#3085d6',
  cancelButtonColor: '#d33',
  confirmButtonText: 'Yes, delete it!'
})

SweetAlert2>:

swal({
  title: "Are you sure?",
  text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
  type: "warning",
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
  confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
  closeOnConfirm: false
})

Both repositories provide similar functionality for creating beautiful, responsive, customizable, and accessible modal dialogs. However, SweetAlert2 is the more actively maintained and feature-rich option, while SweetAlert2> is a simpler alternative that may be sufficient for basic use cases. The code comparison shows that SweetAlert2 offers a more modern and concise syntax, while SweetAlert2> uses a slightly older style of configuration.

Pros of Toastr

• Lightweight and simple to use
• Non-blocking notifications that don't interrupt user flow
• Easy customization of appearance and behavior

Cons of Toastr

• Limited functionality compared to more feature-rich alternatives
• Less suitable for complex interactions or user input
• Fewer animation options and less modern design out-of-the-box

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
  }
})

Toastr:

toastr.options = {
  closeButton: true,
  progressBar: true,
  positionClass: 'toast-top-right'
};
toastr.warning('Are you sure you want to delete this?', 'Warning', {
  timeOut: 5000,
  onclick: function() {
    // Deletion logic here
  }
});

SweetAlert2 provides a more comprehensive dialog system with built-in confirmation handling, while Toastr offers simpler, non-blocking notifications. SweetAlert2 is better suited for interactions requiring user input or decision-making, whereas Toastr excels at providing quick, unobtrusive notifications. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of your project and the level of user interaction needed.

Pros of Noty

• Lightweight and minimalistic, with a smaller file size
• Highly customizable with a wide range of notification types
• Easy integration with various JavaScript frameworks

Cons of Noty

• Less active development and fewer recent updates
• Smaller community and fewer contributors
• Limited built-in themes compared to SweetAlert2

Code Comparison

Noty:

new Noty({
    text: 'Hello, World!',
    type: 'success',
    layout: 'topRight',
    timeout: 3000
}).show();

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire({
    title: 'Hello, World!',
    icon: 'success',
    position: 'top-end',
    timer: 3000
});

Both libraries offer simple ways to create notifications, but SweetAlert2 provides more built-in options and a more modern API. Noty focuses on flexibility and customization, while SweetAlert2 emphasizes ease of use and a polished default appearance.

Noty allows for more granular control over notification placement and behavior, making it suitable for complex notification systems. SweetAlert2, on the other hand, excels in creating modal dialogs and alerts with a consistent, attractive design out of the box.

Ultimately, the choice between Noty and SweetAlert2 depends on the specific requirements of your project and personal preference for API style and customization options.
