sweetalert

Pros of SweetAlert2

• More actively maintained with frequent updates and bug fixes
• Offers more customization options and features
• Better TypeScript support and type definitions

Cons of SweetAlert2

• Some legacy projects might face compatibility issues when upgrading

Code Comparison

SweetAlert:

swal("Hello world!");

SweetAlert2:

Swal.fire('Hello world!');

Both libraries offer similar basic usage, but SweetAlert2 provides more advanced options:

Swal.fire({
  title: 'Custom width, padding, background.',
  width: 600,
  padding: '3em',
  background: '#fff url(/images/trees.png)',
  backdrop: `rgba(0,0,123,0.4) url("/images/nyan-cat.gif") center top no-repeat`
});

SweetAlert2 also supports chaining for more complex interactions:

Swal.fire('Question 1')
  .then(() => Swal.fire('Question 2'))
  .then(() => Swal.fire('Question 3'));

Overall, SweetAlert2 offers more features and flexibility, making it suitable for complex projects, while the original SweetAlert remains a simpler option for basic alert needs.

Pros of Tingle

• Lightweight and dependency-free, resulting in a smaller footprint
• More customizable with CSS variables for easy styling
• Supports multiple instances and callbacks for various modal events

Cons of Tingle

• Less visually polished out-of-the-box compared to SweetAlert
• Fewer pre-built modal types and configurations
• Less extensive documentation and community support

Code Comparison

SweetAlert:

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

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>Are you sure?</h1><p>You will not be able to recover this file!</p>');
modal.addFooterBtn('Yes, delete it!', 'tingle-btn tingle-btn--danger', function() {
  // Delete action
});
modal.open();

Both libraries offer easy-to-use modal creation, but SweetAlert provides more pre-configured options, while Tingle offers greater flexibility in terms of content and styling. SweetAlert's API is more concise for common use cases, whereas Tingle requires more manual setup but allows for more complex modal structures.

Pros of PNotify

• More customizable and feature-rich, offering a wider range of notification types and options
• Better support for stacking and positioning multiple notifications
• Includes modules for desktop notifications and mobile-specific styling

Cons of PNotify

• Larger file size and potentially higher performance overhead
• Steeper learning curve due to more complex API and configuration options
• Less visually appealing out-of-the-box compared to SweetAlert's modern design

Code Comparison

SweetAlert:

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

PNotify:

PNotify.notice({
  title: 'Confirmation',
  text: 'Are you sure you want to delete this?',
  icon: 'fas fa-question-circle',
  hide: false,
  modules: {
    Confirm: {
      confirm: true,
      buttons: [{
        text: 'Yes',
        primary: true,
        click: function(notice) {
          notice.close();
          // Perform delete action
        }
      }]
    }
  }
});

The code comparison shows that PNotify requires more configuration for a similar confirmation dialog, but offers greater flexibility in customization.
