jQuery plugins make our life easier, and it’s always great to discover new ones that make it easy to add cool functionality to our projects. So for today, we have some fresh jQuery plugins to share with you. From Parallax to Navigation, there are several interesting plugins for you to try. Enjoy and share with others!
Perimeter.js
Perimeter.js creates an invisible perimeter around a target element and monitors mouse breaches.
- Get the user’s attention, in terms of showing some sort of tooltip / popover when hovering near a certain element, like a hint or a tip.
- Lazy load a script when the perimeter of the target element is breached (AFAIK Google does this when a user moves it’s mouse towards the red ‘compose’ button).
- Fetch data via AJAX and do something with it when a users navigates towards a certain element.
Specs
- Lightweight; (~0.6kb minified / gzipped)
- No dependencies; just plug it in and you’re good to go
- Built-in debugger to actually see where the perimeter is located (boundary.js)
- Fully documented
- Unit-tests available
favico.js
Make a use of your favicon with badges, images or videos.
Works on Chrome, Firefox, Opera but not on IE 10.
Animo.js
A powerful little tool for managing CSS animations.
“CSS animations are phenomenal and offer numerous advantages over JavaScript powered animations. First, they’re hardware accelerated, which sometimes hard to notice on a desktop but is unbelievably present when viewing on a mobile browser. Second, I personally feel it’s much easier to visualize and write the animation/transition in CSS using keyframes.
The problem with CSS alone is that they’re usually fired on page load or a hover event, and you can’t stack animations or trigger another when one has completed. That’s where JavaScript and animo come in. You can easily stack animations to fire one after another, specify callbacks for the completion of an animation, or simply fire animations on any event or at any moment you please.” Animo
