gridstack.js

gridstack.js is a jQuery plugin for widget layout. This is drag-and-drop multi-column grid. It allows you to build draggable responsive bootstrap v3 friendly layouts. It also works great with knockout.js

Inspired by gridster.js. Built with love.

Demo

Please visit http://troolee.github.io/gridstack.js/ for demo.

Usage

Requirements

• http://underscorejs.org (>= 1.7.0)
• http://jquery.com (>= 1.11.0)
• http://jqueryui.com (>= 1.11.0). Minimum required components: Core, Widget, Mouse, Draggable, Resizable
• (Optional) http://knockoutjs.com (>= 3.2.0)

Basic usage

<div class="grid-stack">
    <div class="grid-stack-item" 
        data-gs-x="0" data-gs-y="0" 
        data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="2">
            <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
    </div>
    <div class="grid-stack-item" 
        data-gs-x="4" data-gs-y="0" 
        data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="4">
            <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
    </div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    var options = {
        cell_height: 80,
        vertical_margin: 10
    };
    $('.grid-stack').gridstack(options);
});
</script>

Options

• animate - turns animation on (default: false)
• auto - if false it tells to do not initialize existing items (default: true)
• cell_height - one cell height (default: 60)
• handle - draggable handle selector (default: '.grid-stack-item-content')
• height - maximum rows amount. Default is 0 which means no maximum rows
• float - enable floating widgets (default: false)
• item_class - widget class (default: 'grid-stack-item')
• min_width - minimal width. If window width is less grid will be shown in one-column mode (default: 768)
• placeholder_class - class for placeholder (default: 'grid-stack-placeholder')
• vertical_margin - vertical gap size (default: 20)
• width - amount of columns (default: 12)

Grid attributes

• data-gs-animate - turns animation on
• data-gs-width - amount of columns
• data-gs-height - maximum rows amount. Default is 0 which means no maximum rows.

Item attributes

• data-gs-x, data-gs-y - element position
• data-gs-width, data-gs-height - element size
• data-gs-max-width, data-gs-min-width, data-gs-max-height, data-gs-min-height - element constraints
• data-gs-no-resize - disable element resizing
• data-gs-no-move - disable element moving
• data-gs-auto-position - tells to ignore data-gs-x and data-gs-y attributes and to place element to the first available position
• data-gs-locked - the widget will be locked. It means another widgets couldn't move it during dragging or resizing. The widget is still can be dragged or resized. You need to add data-gs-no-resize and data-gs-no-move attributes to completely lock the widget.

Events

onchange(items)

Occurs when widgets change their position/size

var serialize_widget_map = function (items) {
    console.log(items);
};

$('.grid-stack').on('change', function (e, items) {
    serialize_widget_map(items);
});

ondragstart(event, ui)

$('.grid-stack').on('dragstart', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});

ondragstop(event, ui)

$('.grid-stack').on('dragstop', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});

onresizestart(event, ui)

$('.grid-stack').on('resizestart', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});

onresizestop(event, ui)

$('.grid-stack').on('resizestop', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});

API

add_widget(el, x, y, width, height, auto_position)

Creates new widget.

Parameters:

• el - widget to add
• x, y, width, height - widget position/dimensions (Optional)
• auto_position - if true then x, y parameters will be ignored and widget will be places on the first available position

Widget will be always placed even if result height will be more then grid height. You need to use will_it_fit method before call add_widget for additional check.

$('.grid-stack').gridstack();

var grid = $('.grid-stack').data('gridstack');
grid.add_widget(el, 0, 0, 3, 2, true);

cell_height()

Gets current cell height.

cell_height(val)

Update current cell height. This method rebuilds an internal CSS stylesheet. Note: You can expect performance issues if call this method too often.

grid.cell_height(grid.cell_width() * 1.2);

cell_width()

Gets current cell width.

locked(el, val)

Locks/unlocks widget.

• el - widget to modify.
• val - if true widget will be locked.

remove_widget(el)

Removes widget from the grid.

Parameters:

• el - widget to remove

remove_all()

Removes all widgets from the grid.

resize(el, width, [height])

Changes widget size

Parameters:

• el - widget to resize
• width, height - new dimensions. If value is null or undefined it will be ignored.

move(el, x, [y])

Changes widget position

Parameters:

• el - widget to move
• x, y - new position. If value is null or undefined it will be ignored.

resizable(el, val)

Enables/Disables resizing.

• el - widget to modify
• val - if true widget will be resizable.

movable(el, val)

Enables/Disables moving.

• el - widget to modify
• val - if true widget will be draggable.

will_it_fit(x, y, width, height, auto_position)

Returns true if the height of the grid will be less the vertical constraint. Always returns true if grid doesn't have height constraint.

if (grid.will_it_fit(new_node.x, new_node.y, new_node.width, new_node.height, true)) {
    grid.add_widget(new_node.x, new_node.y, new_node.width, new_node.height, true);
}
else {
    alert('Not enough free space to place the widget');
}

Utils

GridStackUI.Utils.sort(nodes, [dir], [width])

Sorts array of nodes

• nodes - array to sort
• dir - 1 for asc, -1 for desc
• width - width of the grid. If undefined the width will be calculated automatically.

Use with knockout.js

ko.components.register('dashboard-grid', {
    viewModel: {
        createViewModel: function (params, componentInfo) {
            var ViewModel = function (params, componentInfo) {
                var grid = null;

                this.widgets = params.widgets;

                this.afterAddWidget = function (items) {
                    _.each(items, function (item) {
                        item = $(item);

                        if (grid == null) {
                            grid = $(componentInfo.element).find('.grid-stack').gridstack({
                                auto: false
                            }).data('gridstack');
                        }

                        grid.add_widget(item);
                        ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(item[0], function () {
                            grid.remove_widget(item);
                        });
                    }, this);
                };

            };

            return new ViewModel(params, componentInfo);
        }
    },
    template: [
        '<div class="grid-stack">',
        '   <!-- ko foreach: widgets, afterRender: afterAddWidget -->',
        '       <div class="grid-stack-item" data-bind="attr: {',
        '               \'data-gs-x\': x, \'data-gs-y\': y,',
        '               \'data-gs-width\': width, \'data-gs-height\': height}">',
        '           <span data-bind="text: $index"></span>',
        '       </div>',
        '   <!-- /ko -->',
        '</div>'
    ].join('\n')
});

and HTML:

<div data-bind="component: {name: 'dashboard-grid', params: $data}"></div>
