JavaScript Snippets – DevSnips

Why We All Need JavaScript Snippets

As developers, we often spend hours rewriting the same JavaScript logic: toggles, modals, form validations, counters, and more. It’s repetitive, time-consuming, and can introduce errors. This is where JavaScript snippets come in — small, reusable blocks of code that save time and make your codebase cleaner.

Imagine having a library where these snippets are tested, documented, and ready to use in seconds. That’s the idea behind DevSnips.

Introducing DevSnips – The Frontend Snippet Library

DevSnips is a professional, open-source library of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript snippets. Every snippet is:

• ✅ Open-source and free
• ⚡ Tested for production-ready functionality
• 🧩 Categorized for fast access
• 🔧 Copy-paste ready with minimal setup

Why JavaScript Snippets Save Time

Consider common frontend tasks:

• Form validation
• Dark mode toggles
• Accordions or tabs
• Copy-to-clipboard actions
• Animated counters

Without snippets, you write these from scratch, debug them, and test repeatedly. With DevSnips JS snippets, all of these tasks are solved instantly with ready-to-use, clean, reusable code.

Top JavaScript Snippets from DevSnips

All examples below come directly from the DevSnips JS Snippets repository.

1. Dark Mode Toggle

// Dark Mode Toggle

const toggleDarkMode = () => {

  document.body.classList.toggle('dark-mode');

};

  

Instantly implement dark/light mode functionality with this snippet. You can expand it with localStorage to remember user preferences.

2. Copy to Clipboard

// Copy to Clipboard

const copyText = (text) => {

  navigator.clipboard.writeText(text).then(() => {

    alert('Text copied to clipboard');

  });

};

  

Perfect for code snippets, copy buttons, or any UI where the user needs to copy text quickly.

3. Modal Script

// Modal Script

const openModal = (modalId) => {

  document.getElementById(modalId).style.display = 'block';

};

const closeModal = (modalId) => {

  document.getElementById(modalId).style.display = 'none';

};

  

Reusable modal logic that works across projects without rewriting JavaScript every time.

4. Counter Animation

// Counter Animation

const animateCounter = (elementId, start, end, duration) => {

  let startTime = null;

  const element = document.getElementById(elementId);

  const counter = (timestamp) => {

    if (!startTime) startTime = timestamp;

    const progress = timestamp - startTime;

    const value = Math.min(start + (end - start) * (progress / duration), end);

    element.textContent = Math.floor(value);

    if (progress < duration) {

      window.requestAnimationFrame(counter);

    }

  };

  window.requestAnimationFrame(counter);

};

  

Animate numbers dynamically, ideal for metrics or dashboard counters.

5. Tabs

// Tabs

const openTab = (tabId, contentClass) => {

  const tabs = document.querySelectorAll(`.${contentClass}`);

  tabs.forEach(tab => tab.style.display = 'none');

  document.getElementById(tabId).style.display = 'block';

};

  

Create tabbed content areas easily, showing only one section at a time.

6. Form Validator

// Form Validator

const validateForm = (formId) => {

  const form = document.getElementById(formId);

  const inputs = form.querySelectorAll('input, textarea');

  let isValid = true;

  inputs.forEach(input => {

    if (!input.value.trim()) {

      isValid = false;

      input.style.borderColor = 'red';

    } else {

      input.style.borderColor = '';

    }

  });

  return isValid;

};

  

Check all form fields and highlight empty inputs for better UX.

Before and After: Manual vs DevSnips

Manual Toggle

// Custom toggle

const button = document.getElementById("themeBtn");

button.onclick = () => {

  const current = document.body.style.backgroundColor;

  document.body.style.backgroundColor = 

    current === "black" ? "white" : "black";

};

  

DevSnips Toggle

// DevSnips toggle

const toggle = document.getElementById("darkToggle");

toggle.addEventListener("click", () => {

  document.body.classList.toggle("dark-mode");

});

  

Notice the improved clarity, maintainability, and reusability using DevSnips.
