Masonry vs. RequireJS vs. TypeScript vs. Vue.js Comparison Chart

Masonry is a JavaScript grid layout library. It works by placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space, sort of like a mason fitting stones in a wall. You’ve probably seen it in use all over the Internet. All sizing and styling of items is handled by your own CSS. Item sizes can be set with percentages for responsive layouts. Unloaded images can throw off Masonry layouts and cause item elements to overlap. imagesLoaded resolves this issue. imagesLoaded is a separate script you can download. You can initialize Masonry in HTML, without writing any JavaScript. All options are optional, but column width and item selection are recommended. Align items to a horizontal grid. Use element sizing for responsive layouts with percentage widths. Element sizing options allow you to control the sizing of the Masonry layout within your CSS. This is useful for responsive layouts and media queries.

TypeScript adds additional syntax to JavaScript to support a tighter integration with your editor. Catch errors early in your editor. TypeScript code converts to JavaScript, which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.js or Deno and in your apps. TypeScript understands JavaScript and uses type inference to give you great tooling without additional code. TypeScript was used by 78% of the 2020 State of JS respondents, with 93% saying they would use it again. The most common kinds of errors that programmers write can be described as type errors: a certain kind of value was used where a different kind of value was expected. This could be due to simple typos, a failure to understand the API surface of a library, incorrect assumptions about runtime behavior, or other errors.
