jQuery Gridly
Gridly is a jQuery plugin to enable dragging and dropping as well as resizing on a grid.
Installation
To install copy the javascripts and stylesheets directories into your project and add the following snippet to the header:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="javascripts/jquery.gridly.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="stylesheets/jquery.gridly.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> This plugin is also registered under http://bower.io/ to simplify integration. Try:
npm install -g bower bower install gridly Lastly this plugin is registered as a https://rails-assets.org/ to simplify integration with Ruby on Rails applications:
Gemfile
+ source 'https://rails-assets.org' ... + gem 'rails-assets-gridly' application.css
/* ... *= require gridly ... */ application.js
//= require jquery ... //= require gridly Examples
Setting up a gridly is easy. The following snippet is a good start:
<style> .brick.small { width: 140px; height: 140px; } .brick.large { width: 300px; height: 300px; } </style> <div class="gridly"> <div class="brick small"></div> <div class="brick small"></div> <div class="brick large"></div> <div class="brick small"></div> <div class="brick small"></div> <div class="brick large"></div> </div> <script> $('.gridly').gridly(); </script> Configuration
Gridly uses a fairly standard pattern for handling grids and offers three configuration options for sizing: base, gutter and columns:
$('.gridly').gridly({ base: 60, // px gutter: 20, // px columns: 12 }); When using the drag and drop sorting callbacks can be passed in when initializing:
var reordering = function($elements) { // Called before the drag and drop starts with the elements in their starting position. }; var reordered = function($elements) { // Called after the drag and drop ends with the elements in their ending position. }; $('.gridly').gridly({ callbacks: { reordering: reordering , reordered: reordered } }); $('.gridly').gridly('draggable', 'off'); // disables dragging $('.gridly').gridly('draggable', 'on); // enables dragging Contributing
Gridly is maintained in CoffeeScript. All contributions need to be submitted in CoffeeScript. The project includes a Cakefile that can be used to compile all assets (see: cake watch). For more information about CoffeeScript see:
