SweetAlert VS Magnific-Popup

Sunday morning programming fun. Created a little game to compare items from a list head-to-head and pick a winner. Inspired from social media short videos where people choose their favourite food, song, holiday destination etc. There are some example lists of cities, movies, actors, fragrances etc to play with and you can create your own list of items and play.

I created it mainly to pick a favourite fragrance from my collection of 50+. Not only is a fun project to build but it also allows me to use some of the interesting libraries and code snippets I find.

Programming logic wise there’s nothing fancy happening here, just picking a random element from an array and doing some JS and CSS around that.

New thing that I got to learn was generating a random color of a specific type (pastel, fluorescent, light) by playing with HSL values in a specific range instead of the RGB.

Discovered https://arraythis.com to convert a list to a JS array.

Used SweetAlert https://sweetalert.js.org for alert messages.

Been coding for 20+ years and such little projects still give me the joy of creation plus you always learn/find something that you did not know yesterday.

SweetAlert is a gorgeous notification library you can use to replace built-in alert function in your JavaScript applications. You can include buttons and icons, alter the text’s color, and even add alerts that adjust in response to user clicks.

Are you sure you're using SweetAlert2 and not SweetAlert1 because your syntax looks like 1.

Sweet Alert - A beautiful replacement for success messages, error messages or info messages

Big question, though: Are you using SweetAlert, or SweetAlert2 ?

I've used magnific popup in the past, but it (understandably per the README) hasn't been updated in a while.

I used Magnific for years and loved it for its ease of use, options, and lightweight footprint; however I've been looking elsewhere for a non-jquery dependent ES6 solution.

Magnific-popup

I usually use this one: https://github.com/dimsemenov/Magnific-Popup

Hi, I use this pop up video script from https://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/

It looks like the devs of magnific popup are actively maintaining the project on their github, found here. You might want to try posing your question to the issues forum.
