Solid Boundaries
Utility to track the boundaries of html-elements in SolidJS
Overview
This small library, known as solid-boundaries, offers a straightforward solution for tracking the size and position of HTML elements. By using reactive primitives, it allows developers to easily tap into the bounds of specific subjects on a web page. This is particularly beneficial for creating interactive elements like tooltips and popovers that rely on real-time updates regarding their dimensions and placement.
The library responds to various events such as scrolling, resizing, and changes in the document, making it a flexible option for dynamic web applications. With its modern approach, it enhances user experience by ensuring that UI elements behave predictably as the layout changes.
Features
- Reactive Bounds Tracking: Automatically updates bounds of HTML elements as they change, helping to maintain UI consistency.
- Event Response: Reacts to scrolling, resizing of the window, and changes in the document, ensuring accurate positioning at all times.
- Integration with ResizeObserver: Leverages the power of the ResizeObserver API for efficient monitoring of element size changes.
- MutationObserver Support: Tracks DOM changes that may affect styling, such as class or style attribute modifications.
- Easy Setup: Simple installation and usage instructions facilitate quick integration into your project.
- Backward Compatibility: Advises using a polyfill for older browsers to maintain functionality and avoid skipped behavior.
- Community Contribution: Welcomes contributions from developers, fostering an open-source collaborative environment.
- Solid

Vite is a build tool that aims to provide a faster and leaner development experience for modern web projects
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Motion
Motion (formerly Framer Motion) is a production-ready animation library for React and JavaScript. It provides a simple declarative API for creating fluid animations, gestures, and transitions with excellent performance and accessibility.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
