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.

            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

• width - amount of columns (default: 12)
• item_class - widget class (default: 'grid-stack-item')
• placeholder_class - class for placeholder (default: 'grid-stack-placeholder')
• handle - draggable handle selector (default: '.grid-stack-item-content')
• cell_height - one cell height (default: 60)
• vertical_margin - vertical gap size (default: 20)
• auto - if false it tells to do not initialize existing items (default: true)
• min_width - minimal width. If window width is less grid will be shown in one-column mode (default: 768)

Grid attributes

• data-gs-width - grid width

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-auto-position - tells to ignore data-gs-x and data-gs-y attributes and to place element to the first available position

Events

onchange

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);
    });

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

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

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

remove_widget(el)

Removes widget from the grid.

Parameters:

• el - widget to remove

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')
});
