Magento jQuery widgets
In version 2 of Magento, it adopted the use of the jQuery library as the main JavaScript library. Also, with the adoption of RequireJS, the use of jQuery has become modular and provides easy management between the different layers of visualization and templates enabling the creation of widgets.
Besides jQuery, jQuery UI can also be used for your projects with the same idea of creating widgets. Currently, Magento 2 supports jQuery UI 1.9.2 version with a peculiarity: the style sheet files are added separately to avoid problems with the existing Magento 2 stylesheet files.

- Accordion widget
- Alert widget
- Calendar widget
- Collapsible widget
- Confirm widget
- Dropdown Dialog widget ...
