layoutStart events

[Soviut]

It would be nice if there were layoutStart and fitStart events. Ideally, the event object they pass would provide size information the way layoutComplete does, without having to wait for the transition to finish. This would make it possible to resize the parent container to match the size of the child elements without having to wait.

It could potentially allow for the event cancelling as well.

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion 😀

I'm having trouble understanding the benefit of these events. You mention "resize the parent container to match the size of the child elements without having to wait." Could you provide an example of what you're talking about here?

I believe it would be an easier way to resize the parent container to fit the width of the child elements to make centering easier. This would remove the need for the prototype hacking to achieve the same result.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep this in mind if I consider adding centering as a feature. See also #8
