Collection bench / vanilla-javascript-components

6 selected components

Interaction without framework lock-in

Vanilla JavaScript components

These components use small, scoped scripts to add behavior while keeping the underlying HTML useful. They are designed for direct use, progressive enhancement, or adaptation inside a framework without bringing a component runtime with them.

Why this set works

A stronger implementation baseline.

Defensive scripts stop safely when expected markup is unavailable

ARIA state follows the visible interaction state

No global variables, remote scripts, or framework dependency

Before shipping

Implementation checklist.

Use these checks after adapting the components to your content and application state.

  1. 01

    Confirm that core content remains available before JavaScript runs.

  2. 02

    Support keyboard activation, Escape behavior, and predictable focus movement.

  3. 03

    Keep queries and event listeners scoped beneath the component root.

  4. 04

    Test repeated initialization and pages that contain more than one instance.
