6 very interesting and creative javascript libraries

#css #javascript #react #vue

In this fast-growing Internet world, there are many new things every day. Maybe you, like me, are wondering if there are any shortcuts to discover them quickly.

I have recently collected several interesting javascript libraries, each of which is particularly creative. Maybe you don't have to use them, but I dare say that when you add these libraries to your project, it will instantly make your project attractive.

1. `react-mouse-particles`

react-mouse-particles is a react mouse particle effect component.

github https://github.com/lindelof/react-mouse-particles

A very fun react library that can be used to create mouse particle effects, which are as cool as meteors or fireballs. I often want to use react to do something fun. Using this component may make your page instantly glorious.

npm install --save react-mouse-particles

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import MouseParticles from 'react-mouse-particles'

class Example extends Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <>
        <div>...</div>
        <MouseParticles g={1} color="random" cull="col,image-wrapper"/>
      </>
    )
  }
}

2. `particles-bg`

particles-bg is a React particles animation background component.

github https://github.com/lindelof/particles-bg

If you're worrying about your CV or profile not being noticeable, then it's perfect for you. Adding some particle animation to the page will make your website sparkle instantly. Very amazing

npm install --save particles-bg

import React, { Component } from 'react'

import ParticlesBg from 'particles-bg'

class Example extends Component {
  render () {
    return (
      <>
        <div>...</div>
        <ParticlesBg type="circle" bg={true} />
      </>
    )
  }
}

3. `particles-bg-vue`

particles-bg-vue is A vue.js particles animation background component.

github https://github.com/lindelof/particles-bg-vue

If you really like the effect above, but it happens that the framework you are using is vue.js. Then don't worry, using this library can also meet your needs.

npm install --save particles-bg-vue

<particles-bg type="lines" :bg="true" />
...

import { ParticlesBg } from "particles-bg-vue";
export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    ParticlesBg
  }
};

4. `react-parallax`

A React Component for parallax effect.

github https://github.com/rrutsche/react-parallax

This is a great project that allows you to easily create an interactive website with parallax scrolling. I think you definitely want to have your own mobile homepage, then it is perfect for you.

npm install --save react-parallax

import React from 'react';
import { Parallax, Background } from 'react-parallax';

const MyComponent = () => (
    <div>
        {/* -----basic config-----*/}
        <Parallax
            blur={10}
            bgImage={require('path/to/image.jpg')}
            bgImageAlt="the cat"
            strength={200}
        >
            Put some text content here - even an empty div with fixed dimensions to have a height
            for the parallax.
            <div style={{ height: '200px' }} />
        </Parallax>

        {/* -----dynamic blur-----*/}
        <Parallax
            blur={{ min: -15, max: 15 }}
            bgImage={require('path/to/another/image.jpg')}
            bgImageAlt="the dog"
            strength={-200}
        >
            Blur transition from min to max
            <div style={{ height: '200px' }} />
        </Parallax>

5. `react-shimmer`

React Image Loader component that simulates a shimmer effect.

github https://github.com/gokcan/react-shimmer

A powerful, customisable, <img> component that simulates a shimmer effect while loading. (with zero dependencies!) Currently compatible with React, but RN compatibility is also on the way.

npm i react-shimmer

6. `react-native-3dcube-navigation`

a great page turning effect

github https://github.com/zehfernandes/react-native-3dcube-navigation

If you want to do something with react native. Then this thing is very good, he may be suitable for you, a great page turning effect.

npm i react-native-3dcube-navigation --save

import { CubeNavigationHorizontal } from 'react-native-3dcube-navigation'

<View style={styles.father} >
  <CubeNavigationHorizontal ref={view => { this.cube = view; }}>
    <View style={[styles.container, { backgroundColor: '#5CDB8B' }]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>Horizontal Page 1</Text>
    </View>
    <View style={[styles.container, { backgroundColor: '#A3F989' }]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>Horizontal Page 2</Text>
    </View>
    <View style={[styles.container, { backgroundColor: '#CBF941' }]}>
      <Text style={styles.text}>Horizontal Page 3</Text>
    </View>
  </CubeNavigationHorizontal>
</View >

5 very interesting and creative React and 1 Vue libraries*

Goran Spasojevic • Dec 20 '19

^ A much more fitting title @lindelof (although much less clickbaity, I'll admit)

I would also replace very with vaguely since the JS ecosystem is full of libraries with much more creativity and utility. These are merely wrappers and helpers and are barely innovative...
