floating-ui VS framer/motion

Built-in anchor positioning: With Floating UI, components like Menu and Listbox automatically position their popovers, anchoring them to their triggers and allowing them to adjust to changes in the viewport quickly.

Shepherd is a powerful and customizable open source JavaScript library for creating interactive tours and onboarding experiences in web applications. It uses another open source library Floating UI to render the dialog tours. It offers a simple setup process, dynamic content support, the ability to create custom actions and events, and theming and styling too. More importantly, it is responsive too and never goes offscreen on smaller devices. Shepherd also provides excellent documentation and support, making it a popular choice among developers.

As you stated, it's generally best to suggest going with the native application for handling the styling of the select options. That said, when I do need to reach for a nice lightweight solution, I have really enjoyed popper.js now known as Floating UI. The library is suitable for multiple UI patterns such as tooltips, popovers, selects, dialogs, dropdowns and comboboxes, meaning you get more mileage out of the small amount of additional file size.

nothing wrong with that, but it's also good to have a clear perspective over what you are doing. e.g. Maybe if you can, take 20 minutes to have a look at this code that is for doing this.. 1,405 commits over 5 years, 948 issues, and it still doesn't work right!

I did say at a glance, but it was really from faulty memory while eating breakfast. Turns out it's a customized Moonlight II. I don't think that exact theme exists for vscode, but there is one by the same name if that'll do the trick.

Hello people, the title pretty much says it all so here is a link to Floating UI

Hey nice job! If you want to make the menu slide without moving the button you might want to check https://floating-ui.com/

The two most popular choices now (circa Jan 2024) are React Transition Group, started in 2016, and Framer Motion, started in 2018. I'm not too familiar with the former, so this article solely dives into the workings of AnimatePresence from Framer Motion and how it's able to enable exit animations.

Install Framer Motion with npm install framer-motion.

At this point, I was already using a tilt component (react-parallax-tilt) in my portfolio, and after checking this page I had the general idea of how it should be done, a container with transform-style: preserve-3d, with two children, one tilt and the other an image, both having backface-visibility: hidden and the tilt being rotated to face backward at the start. For the animation, I decided to use framer-motion because I was already familiar with it and knew it had what was needed to get the job done (and I'm glad I did because later I needed to await the animation and it was easy with framer-motion).

Two of the most popular animation libraries for React include React Spring [26.1k+ GitHub stars] and Framer Motion [19.6k+ GitHub stars], but there are many to choose from. Arafat Islam has a great list of animation libraries here.

Why should you consider using Framer Motion in your React project? Framer Motion is a fairly popular and actively maintained library, with 19k stars on GitHub, and plenty of resources to support it.

Framer Motion has over 18,000 GitHub stars and 2.2M weekly NPM downloads.
