  "account": "For those seeking to add functionality to their projects without the overhead of frameworks or dependencies, a collection of free, standalone JavaScript and PHP components is available. Each component is a single file that includes its own CSS and SVG icons, requiring no bundler or framework. The set includes 16 JavaScript components and one PHP component, all free to use in your projects. The components cover a wide range of functionality, from toast notifications and rating widgets to range sliders, progress bars, tag fields, international phone fields, signature pads, embedded video previews, file uploaders, searchable selects, large option selects, SVG charts, timelines, interactive maps, full calendars, accessible tabs, and server-side PDF generation.\n\nThe components are designed with simplicity in mind, as each one encapsulates its own functionality without relying on external libraries. While the method and option names are in French due to the original development for French-speaking clients, the behavior of the components remains consistent with standard practices. The documentation, complete with demos, can be found at https://artisan-code.fr/outils.php. Additionally, the library offers premium components, such as an accessible tab system and a data grid that can handle large datasets with good performance.",

Each one is a single file that encapsulates its own CSS (and SVG icons where relevant), so you just include the file, instantiate the class, and it works. 16 are pure JavaScript; one, ac_pdf, is PHP and wraps FPDF as its only dependency. Here's the full list, all free and free to use in your own projects:…",
