The effect you are after can be achieved using either JS and CSS or with
just CSS. Most of the CSS frameworks out there will support this
functionality. For example

bootstrap - CSS and JS
bulma - CSS only
Tailwind - CSS only

I'm pretty sure all of the above support the ability to create a
minimised version which only includes the features you want. This can
help minimise unwanted interaction between different CSS style
definitions and reduce overall size.

Personally, I prefer bulma or tailwind over bootstrap as it avoids also
having to deal with javascript and having to bundle js code with your
final output.
