jQuery (Johnny) Sortable for Yii 2

=====================================

This is the useful widget for, in my humble opinion, the most powerful and flexible, opinionated sorting plugin for jQuery. Why another sortable plugin? you might ask. Aren't there many others? The answer is: nested lists. None of the other solutions had a decent support for nested lists. nestedSortable relies on a fixed width hierarchy. Others mimic the way jQuery UI does sortables and therefore require ugly hacks that suffer from sudden jumps.

Basic Example

The view:

<?php 
use demogorgorn\jquerysortable\Sortable;

$items = [
        [
            'content' => 'First'
            'options' => ['class' => 'panel', 'data-id' => 12]
        ],
        [
            'content' => 'Second'
            'options' => ['class' => 'panel', 'data-id' => 13],
            'items' => [
                [
                    'content' => 'Nested 1'
                    'options' => ['class' => 'panel', 'data-id' => 14]
                ],
                [
                    'content' => 'Nested 2'
                    'options' => ['class' => 'another class']
                ],

            ]

        ],
        
    ];

echo Sortable::widget([

    'listTag' => 'ol',
    'autoNestedEnabled' => true,
    'useDragHandle' => FA::icon('bars', ['style' => 'margin: 4px;']),
    'options' => [
        'class' => 'vertical',
        'id' => 'menulist',
    ],
    'items'=> $items,
    'clientOptions' => [
        'handle' => '.fa-bars',
        'onDragStart' => new \yii\web\JsExpression('function ($item, container, _super) {
                // Duplicate items of the no drop area
                if(!container.options.drop)
                    $item.clone().insertAfter($item);
                    _super($item, container);
        }'),

    ],
]); ?>
