Where to Find jQuery Plugins
jQuery is great for making JavaScript work better on your website. There are lots of other JavaScript frameworks out there, but jQuery is the most popular. On top of that, jQuery is also the most extendable JavaScript framework available.
So, this is a list of the best places to find jQuery Plugins.
The Handpicked jQuery Plugins Repository
The Handpicked jQuery Plugins Repository launched in 2011, as a basic site with a select few plugins. They had a very unstable launch, but with the official jQuery plugins registry down for most of that year, there was a need not being met. With a solid selection of great plugins, they’re sure to have something that fits your needs.
Unheap — Jquery and JavaScripts
This website has an organized and responsive interface that’s just simple to use. Each Plugin is organized in sections and subsections for interface, inputs, media, navigation and miscellaneous code. Every Plugin listed has direct links to their demonstration page.
It’s just a well made site with great plugins, and amazing optimization and design. They even make uploading your own a delight. With over 700 plugins available, there’s no way they can disappoint.
Official jQuery Repo
This is the official jQuery plugins registry. They’re currently in “read only mode,” which means they won’t be accepting any more plugins, so no more will be added for the foreseeable future. On this website, you’ll have access to over 2000 plugins categorized into 10 sections.
There’s also a forum https://forum.jquery.com/ with a bunch of helpful information and a fairly active community.
jQueryScript.net — Tutorials and Plugins
jQueryScript.net is the one stop shop to get both jQuery Plugins and tutorials. This site features over 20 categories such as animation, gallery, Lightbox ( http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ ), zoom, social media, and text. jQueryScript.net has a plethora of plugins and tutorials, and they’re always adding more.
