Summary of my bookmarked Github repositories from Nov 8th, 2022
Github repositories
- focus-trap/focus-trap
focus-trap is a JavaScript library that allows you to trap focus within a specific DOM node. It is particularly useful for creating accessible modals. When a focus trap is activated, the Tab and Shift+Tab keys will cycle through the focusable elements within the trap, preventing focus from leaving. Clicks outside the trap are blocked, and the Escape key can be used to deactivate the trap. The library provides options for customizing the behavior and supports various browsers, with a focus on desktop browsers. You can use it in conjunction with React using the focus-trap-react wrapper or create light wrappers for other frameworks.
- floating-ui/react-popper
React Popper is a React wrapper for @popperjs/core, providing a way to use Popper.js functionality within React applications. However, please note that this library is currently in maintenance mode. If you're looking for the new Floating UI package with React, visit https://floating-ui.com/docs/react-dom. To install React Popper, you can use npm or Yarn package managers. Make sure to install @popperjs/core in your project for react-popper to work properly. The official Popper website (http://popper.js.org/react-popper) offers comprehensive documentation. If you want to run it locally, clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the demo in development mode.
