Preview:

Description:

Magic Grid is a lightweight (3kb minified) JavaScript library to generate a dynamic, flexible grid layout using pure JavaScript.

How to use it:

Install & download.

# NPM
$ npm install magic-grid --save

Load the minified version of the Magic Grid library in the html document.

<script src="/dist/magic-grid.umd.js"></script>

Create a container to place the grid layout.

<div class="container">
  
</div>

Create a dynamic grid layout and specify the number of grid items to generate.

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    container: "#container",
    items: 20
});
magicGrid.listen();

Create a static grid layout from existing grid items.

<div class="container">
  <div class="item1">1</div>
  <div class="item2">2</div>
  <div class="item3">3</div>
  <div class="item4">4</div>
  <div class="item5">5</div>
  <div class="item6">6</div>
  <div class="item7">7</div>
  <div class="item8">8</div>
  <div class="item9">9</div>
  <div class="item10">10</div>
</div>

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    static: true
});
magicGrid.listen();

Set the space between grid items. Default: 25px.

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    gutter: 30
})

Set the maximum number of grid items.

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    maxColumns: 100
})

Decide whether to append next element to the shortest column.

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    useMin: false
})

Enable/disable the animation when changing screen size.

let magicGrid = new MagicGrid({
    animate: false
})

Trigger a repositioning function after new grid items added to the grid layout.

magicGrid.positionItems();
