Add this to your <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="diamonds.css" />
Add this right before your closing </body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.diamonds.js"></script>
Note: The path may change depending on where you put the css file.
html
<div class="diamondswrap">
<a href="#" class="item">Hello world</a>
<a href="#" class="item">Hello</a>
<a href="#" class="item">Hello</a>
... many more items!
</div>
js
$(".diamondswrap").diamonds({
size: 250, // Size of the squares
gap: 1 // Pixels between squares
});
Size of diamonds in pixels. Both width and height. Only squares allowed.
Pixels between each square. The size of the squares will be reduced by this gap.
The css selector to use to select diamonds-items.
Default: .item
Hide last row if there are not enough items to fill it completely.
Default: false
Auto redraw diamonds when it detects resizing.
Default: true
$(".diamondswrap").diamonds({
size: 250, // Size of the squares
gap: 1 // Pixels between squares
});
Note: Calling any other method before diamonds has been initialized will cause an error to be thrown.
Manually trigger a redraw.
$(".diamondswrap").diamonds("draw");
Change options after initialize
$(".diamondswrap").diamonds("setOptions", {
hideIncompleteRow: true
});
Note: Changing options will trigger a redraw since size, gap, or hideIncompleteRow might have changed..
Destroy diamonds and return everything to how it was.
$(".diamondswrap").diamonds("destroy");
All events are prefixed with diamonds:. Which means that this is how you listen to a diamonds event:
$(...).on("diamonds:beforeDraw", function() { ... })
Some events are also called with arguments. One such event is beforeSetOptions. This is how you catch the arguments.
$(...).on("diamonds:beforeSetOptions", function(event, newOptions) {
newOptions.gap = 10; // Always set the gap to 10
});
Some events can also abort the method by calling .preventDefault, for example if you want to prevent all drawing.
$(...).on("diamonds:beforeDraw", function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // Stops the draw method
});
As a rule of thumb, all events starting with before or on can abort the method.
