React on changes

In most cases you are interested in the new sort order. Often you want to store them in local storage or even send them to the backend. To do so the following two steps are needed in addition to the "Getting started" step.

Pass your items to the directive via the ngSortGridItems input.

Grid demo React on the 'sorted' output event. The sorted output event emits a NgsgOrderChange which contains the previousOrder and the currentOrder

Group sortgrids

In case you have more than one sortgriditem on the page you need to group the sortgriditems to avoid dropping drags from one group in another group. Pass in a unique name to the ngSortGridGroup input

Style your items on different events

The ng-sortgrid adds different classes on different events to your items. You can either use those classes to style the appereance of your items on certain events or you can include the build in CSS from the ng-sortgrid library.

Integrate the build in CSS

To integrate the built in Stylesheet just import in in your angular.json.

    "styles": [
              "node_modules/ng-sortgrid/styles/ngsg.css",
            ],

Alternative you can provide custom styles for the different classes listed bellow

Class Description
ng-sg-placeholder This class is added to the placeholder item which previews where the item is inserted
ng-sg-dropped This class is added as soon after you drop an item. The class will be on the item for 500 milliseconds before it gets removed
ng-sg-selected This class is added when you press the CMD or the Ctrl Key and Click on an item. It indicates which items are selected for the multi drag&drop
ng-sg-active This class is added when dragging item

Scrolling

The ng-sortgrid has a autoScroll flag which you can use to enable autoScroll. If you enable autoScroll the screen will start to scroll in the following scenario.

Grid demo

  • If you drag an element in the top 50px of the screen
  • If you drag an element in the bottom 50px of the screen

Custom scroll points

Sometimes its not enough to only scroll once you drag over the top view port border. Imagine that you have a fixed navbar at the top of your page. In this case you need to scroll once you drag an element over the navbar.

Scroll speed (default 50)

The scrollSpeed property accepts a number and allows you to specify the scrolling speed.
