How to use reloadItems

How to use reloadItems

[desandro]

reloadItems is useful if you want to re-collect all the item elements in the container element, like after prepending a lot of items, or messing with their order in the DOM.

With your example, you most likely just need to use layout. With jQuery, this is just the same as $container.packery(). See http://jsfiddle.net/Bp3Gr/2/

Thanks for providing an example!

Perfect thank you. That clarifies the difference between the two.

Thanks!

Hi David, just another question about this.

So my intention is that on one item there is an accordion function that makes the height of an item a bit taller, causing the items to collapse on top of each other.

Is using the layout method every time the accordion is used the best way to prevent items from collapsing?

Yes. You should trigger layout once all items have their proper size set. In your case, you would want to trigger layout after the accordion animation has completed.

Hello, I opened an issue about this as well and was hoping to get a solution to re-layout my items to their original state. After they've been layout() several times my blocks are in a strange unwanted order. Any advice would be great!

@desandro
I have an issue with dragged items blanks fill with another element and I want to stop that.
there is any way to stop that.

like not using auto layout
just place every element where it was. and do not update until any action on it.
I tried with stamp element when loading and then unstamp after setting on position.
@desandro you are doing awesome on that can you help me out with this problem.
thank for the awesome plugin.
