Good time of the day!
I wrote a js library, how can I sell it, how can I make money on it in order to develop it further, ideally make it my main activity.
What are the platforms for this, is there any experience, what is the return from this?

No way. Who will buy ExtJS if there is free Angular with ng-ui?
Wrote a good library - develop, promote, prove to everyone that it is really needed and useful. You can compete at conferences for money :)

Easy: put on github, become famous, get a good offer.
This is exactly what happened with jQuery.

You can do it like here dhtmlx.com
There is a truncated version with a GPL license. All projects using this version must also be GPL. If you want more features and another license - pay.
Only in the given example is a really cool and sought-after thing, which has no free analogues. If you have the same situation - try to sell, suddenly it will work out.

Thanks everyone! As I understand it, from more or less real it is codecanyon.net, but here, I'm not very sure about the effectiveness. How many times I got to this site, in the process of searching for solutions, I immediately closed it and in general there was no desire to buy.
As I understand it, the most advanced option is to engage in self-promotion in parallel with development.
