jQuery was first released in 2006. Nearly 5 years later, it’s still going strong – due largely in part to the community that’s been built up around it. This community of developers constantly releases plugins that allow web developers to easily add amazing functionality to their projects.
Continuing our “Best of 2011” series, the focus this week is on jQuery plugins. Over the past eleven months we’ve seen a lot of great new plugins being released, which made choosing our favorites extremely difficult.
Isotope
Isotype is a jQuery plugin for creating dynamic and intelligent layouts. It also lets you reveal & hide items with filtering, reāorder items with sorting – all done with captivating animations.
FitText
FitText makes font-sizes flexible. Use this plugin on your fluid or responsive layout to achieve scalable headlines that fill the width of a parent element.
FlexSlider
FlexSlider is an awesome, fully responsive jQuery slider plugin. In other words, it resizes to fit the screen on which it is displayed, and looks good doing it.
Sausage
Sausage is a jQuery UI widget for contextual pagination. It complements long or infinite-scrolling pages by keeping the user informed of her location within the document.
arbor.js
Arbor is a graph visualization library built with web workers and jQuery. Rather than trying to be an all-encompassing framework, arbor provides an efficient, force-directed layout algorithm plus abstractions for graph organization and screen refresh handling.
Mosaic
Mosaic automatically generates sliding boxes & captions, allows slide & fade animations with custom directions, and preloads images within boxes.
Supersized
Supersized is a fullscreen background slideshow built using the jQuery library.
Nice Collection… Bookmarked… š
I love these “best of” posts š I’m really liking the FlexSlider gallery, especially as it’s responsive. Thanks
FlexSlider is great, thanks for the tip.
I didn’t know about FlexSlider before thanks a lot. I think you should add the Revel plugin too. I think its the easiest around for modal creation.
Nice. I’d also throw FitVids https://fitvidsjs.com/ in there too.
I just used Supersized in a project, it is very nice for image-heavy portfolio type sites.
I would add Nivo Slider in there as well its got a good variation of transitions
love these of all really useful plugins. thanks for sharing
Thanks for great collection. I used supersized in two of my recent responsive sites. Also used FitText and flexslider. Made my work really easy.
Nice List.. Thanks for sharing it !!!
I think the only good one on here is supersized, and where is easyslider! tool tips, datepicker and galarific!? There my top for sure!
A very nice, productive and useful collection.
Nice collection, FitText is great, thanks!
Actually Fitext helped me alot by creating my website to mobile phone usage as well, I thank god I didn`t have to use percentage.
I’ve used a few of these. Great collection!
Cool compilation. love it!
Great picks. Gotta love JQuery:)
Absolutely impressive list. Truly the 2011 best! Geez – I want to implement them all – especially the arbor.js – I am going to use that to trick out the Services section on our website. Tie the 4 disciplines together.
thanks for the list, some are really new for me
Cool collection .Thanks for sharing and keep sharing…
There is another useful JQuery plugin to learn it calls JQuery Template – https://api.jquery.com/category/plugins/templates/
I made a post on my blog about your advantages and how to use it, look this: https://www.udgwebdev.com/conhecendo-o-jquery-template/
nice list. but I would add https://animatedpng.info/ here too.
Shameless self promotion š You should also check out a plugin called jQuery Bacon which allows you to easily align text to a bezier curve – https://baconforme.com/
Good work! Thanks for this collection.
