Question 1

How do I use MixItUp with React?

Accepted Answer

You can integrate MixItUp by using React refs to access the DOM element and instantiating the mixer in componentDidMount or useEffect. However, it requires manual state handling and updates, which might be less efficient than framework-specific libraries like React-Isotope.

Question 2

MixItUp vs Isotope: which is better for filtering grids?

Accepted Answer

MixItUp is dependency-free and now free under Apache 2.0, while Isotope has a different licensing model and might offer more active development. MixItUp is better for projects valuing simplicity and no dependencies, but Isotope could be preferred for newer features.

Question 3

Can MixItUp handle CSS Grid layouts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, MixItUp is compatible with various grid systems, including CSS Grid, as it works with existing HTML and CSS. The tutorials cover grid layouts with inline-block and flexbox, which can be adapted to CSS Grid.

Question 4

How to set up pagination with MixItUp?

Accepted Answer

Use the MixItUp Pagination extension available on GitHub. It allows paginated views of filtered content, but requires additional setup and is part of the archived project, so no future updates are expected.

Question 5

Is MixItUp free for commercial use now?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since November 2024, MixItUp is fully open source under the Apache 2.0 license, so you can use it commercially without purchasing a license, as stated in the update.

Question 6

How to animate element insertion with MixItUp?

Accepted Answer

Use the `.insert()` API method or Dataset API to add elements with smooth transitions. The documentation provides examples for adding new targets to the container, ensuring animations are handled automatically.
