A toolkit of (hopefully) useful Svelte utilities. Contains helpers for using spring animations in transitions, and a Modal component.
The svelte-helpers library is an invaluable tool for developers working with the Svelte framework, offering a variety of helpers designed to streamline and enhance the development process. Among these helpers, the Spring helpers and the Modal component stand out, simplifying animation and state management when building UIs. With easy installation via npm and a host of configurable options, svelte-helpers can greatly improve the efficiency of your Svelte applications.
Spring Helpers: Utilizes functions for creating smooth spring animations during enter or exit transitions, enhancing visual feedback in your applications.
Declarative Modal Component: Offers a straightforward modal component that requires just an open boolean prop to control its visibility, ensuring a simple integration.
Close Event Handling: Includes an on:close event that triggers when a user interacts outside the modal or presses the escape key, providing intuitive closure mechanics.
Responsive Width Control: The optional useContentWidth property allows the modal to resize according to its content, providing flexibility without the need for custom CSS.
Animation Configuration: The animateResizing property lets developers disable animation for dimension changes, allowing for precise control over transitions.
Imperative Close Method: The reusable closeModal method lets you close the modal programmatically, whether you’re conditionally rendering or not, making it versatile for different scenarios.
Conditional Rendering Support: Features like deferStateChangeOnClose allow for a fluid exit animation before resetting the modal state, further enhancing the user experience.
Event Lifecycle Hooks: Events such as on:mount, on:closing, and on:closed provide hooks for managing state and focus, ensuring a seamless integration with other components in your application.
