## What it is
Snap.js is a standalone JavaScript library for creating mobile-style side shelf/drawer menus (like Facebook and Path's slide-out navigation). It uses CSS3 transitions with touch drag and flick support, and has no dependencies.

## Use cases
- add a facebook-style slide-out side menu to a mobile web app
- implement off-canvas navigation drawer with touch drag support
- create a swipeable shelf panel in javascript
- build a hamburger menu with flick-to-open gestures
- add left and right slide-in panels to a webpage

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free, highly customizable side drawer for a mobile web app
- you must support older browsers like IE9 or Android WebKit 2.3 with graceful fallbacks

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with ongoing bug fixes and security patches
- your framework already provides a drawer component (e.g. Material UI, Bootstrap, native mobile SDKs)
- the project has no license, which may block commercial use

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, mobile-development
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: side-menu, drawer, touch-gestures, mobile-ui, off-canvas, javascript
