jQuery Gridly

Gridly is a jQuery plugin to enable dragging and dropping as well as resizing on a grid.

Installation

To install copy the javascripts and stylesheets directories into your project and add the following snippet to the header:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="javascript/jquery.gridly.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="stylesheets/jquery.gridly.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

This plugin is also registered under http://bower.io/ to simplify integration. Try:

npm install -g bower
bower install gridly

Examples

Setting up a gridly is easy. The following snippet is a good start:

<style>
.brick.small {
  width: 140px;
  height: 140px;
}

.brick.large {
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
}
</style>

<div class="gridly">
  <div class="brick small"></div>
  <div class="brick small"></div>
  <div class="brick large"></div>
  <div class="brick small"></div>
  <div class="brick small"></div>
  <div class="brick large"></div>
</div>

<script>
  $('.gridly').gridly();
</script>

Configuration

Gridly uses a fairly standard pattern for handling grids and offers three configuration options for sizing: base, gutter and columns:

$('.gridly').gridly({
  base: 60, // px 
  gutter: 20, // px
  columns: 12,
});

When using dragging the handle (element that responds to drag events) can be changed as well:

$('.gridly').gridly({
  draggable: { handle: '.move' }
});
