Installation
Include JQuery js and pluginās css and js files in your HTML code.
<script src="/lib/jquery.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/clayfy.min.css" type="text/css" /> <script src="/dist/clayfy.min.js"></script>
Usage
Next there is basic usage for Clayfy. Further information you can find inside demos and options and events tables below.
Draggable
When document is ready, you can call the plugin for an absolute positioned element.
$(document).ready(function(){ $('#draggable').clayfy({ type : 'draggable' }); });
As 'draggable' is Clayfy's type
default value, you can make that cleaner:
$('#draggable').clayfy();
You can assign a container to your draggable element. Your element doesn't need to be a container's child.
<div id="container"><div> <div id="draggable"></div>
$('#draggable').clayfy({ container : #container });
Also, you can assign a droppable element. Further, you can set up draggable and droppable behavior through plugin's options, events and CSS.
Markup:
<div id="droppable-1"><div> <div id="droppable-2"><div> <div id="draggable"></div>
Javascript:
$('#draggable').clayfy({ droppable : '#droppable-1, #droppable-2' }) $('#draggable').on({ 'clayfy-dragenter' : function(e){ console.log(e.target) }, });
SCSS:
#draggable{ &.clayfy-dragenter{ background : #38c429; } &.clayfy-dropinside{ background : #5a6de3; } } #droppable-1{ &.clayfy-dragenter{ border-color : #38c429; } &.clayfy-dropinside{ border-color: #5a6de3; } }
Resizable
Resizable elements inherits draggable options. But element does not need to be absolute positioned, although is required if you like to drag it.
Just call:
$('#resizable').clayfy({ type : 'resizable' });
Options: minSize
, maxSize
and preserveAspectRatio
you will surely use. There are further options too that you may need (see table below).
There are a list of events that you may need. For example,
$resizable = $('#resizable'); $resizable.on('clayfy-resize clayfy-cancel', function(){ console.log( $resizable.width() + ' x '+ $resizable.height() ) });
Last, for an easy handler styling, use className
option:
$('#resizable').clayfy({ type : 'resizable', className : 'myCustomClass' });
.myCustomClass{ &.clayfy-top:after{ content: ''; position: absolute; height: 2px; top:0;left:0; width:100%; background: red; } }
Sortable
Sortable elements element may be absolute positioned, although is not recommended.
By default, each sortable element can change place with a sibling that has the same CSS selector and has the same parent:
<div> <div class="sortable">A.1</div> <div class="sortable">A.2</div> <div class="sortable">A.3</div> </div> <div> <div class="sortable">B.1</div> <div class="sortable">B.2</div> <div class="sortable">B.3</div> </div>
<script> $('.sortable').clayfy({ type : 'sortable' }); </script>
Of course, there are severals options. For instance, you can change order between elements from diferent parents (siblings
option), move node from one to another (export
option), constrict movement (see draggable options), etc.
Further examples you will find inside demos.
Options
Options can be set locally as a paramater or globally through $.clayfy.settings object.
Also, it is worth to say that most of draggable options can be use in resizable and sortable types (but, of course, not vice versa).
