A New Angular Modal Library From a Developer in New Jersey
A New Modal on npm
A new Angular modal library has appeared on npm: modal-lib2.
Created by a developer in New Jersey, the package focuses on doing one thing well, and that's modals that just work.
Why It Stands Out
- No bloat – just Angular.
- SSR-friendly – guards against
documenterrors. - Straightforward API - import, open, close.
Install with:
npm install modal-lib2
Behind the Name
We reached out to the developer and asked about the generic name.
“I already had a very cool private modal-lib in my projects,” he said.
“When I decided to open source it, I just dropped it into another folder and called it modal-lib2. Sometimes generic names are fine, it’s the code that matters. The real reason was at first, I just wanted a modal I could turn off the backdrop, and it evolved from there.”
The Takeaway
Sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest difference. If you’re working in Angular and want a lightweight modal solution that supports SSR, modal-lib2 is worth a look.
