You can also add your examples to the list!
<div class="bricklayer">
<div>Your item</div>
<div>Your another item</div>
<div>Your another but long item</div>
<div>Your another but very short item</div>
<div>Your one more item</div>
<div>Your smallest item</div>
</div>
@media screen and (min-width: 1200px) {
.bricklayer-column-sizer {
/* divide by 3. */
width: 33.3%;
}
}
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.bricklayer-column-sizer {
/* divide by 2. */
width: 50%;
}
}
var bricklayer = new Bricklayer(document.querySelector('.bricklayer'))
With Bricklayer, you can add new bricks (some elements with heights) using append
and prepend
.
Allows you to append bricks.
bricklayer.append(
myAwesomeElement
)
Allows you to prepend bricks.
bricklayer.prepend(
myAwesomeElement
)
You can also add multiple bricks at once by giving an array of elements:
bricklayer.append([
myAwesomeElement,
myAwesomeButVeryLongElement
])
bricklayer.prepend([
myAwesomeElement,
myAwesomeButVeryLongElement
])
Destroys bricklayer and related auto-generated elements.
bricklayer.destroy()
To rebuild the Bricklayer for an element, you should rerun Bricklayer
:
bricklayer = new Bricklayer(bricklayer.element)
Redraws all columns. Column counts will be recalculated and it rebuilds columns with elements.
bricklayer.redraw()
You can add listeners to Bricklayer for full control. These allow you to create more extensible layouts. You can use these events especially for animations. Please see examples.
They are useful when you want to detect if the layout is changed, gives information about Bricklayer's lifecycle.
It will be fired when browser is resized and CSS media query breakpoint changes. event.detail
gives calculated columnCount
.
bricklayer.on('breakpoint', function (e) {
var columnCount = e.detail.columnCount
// In every breakpoint, this event will be fired with the count of columns
})
It will be fired when something called redraw
method. event.detail
gives calculated columnCount
.
bricklayer.on('redraw', function (e) {
var columnCount = e.detail.columnCount
// In every breakpoint, this event will be fired with the count of columns
})
It will be fired when destroy
method is called and the Bricklayer is destroyed.
bricklayer.on('destroy', function (e) {
// Bricklayer is destroyed :(
})
They are useful when you want to make animations or element based works.
It will be fired just before a brick appends to a column. event.detail
gives item
and column
as DOM elements.
bricklayer.on('beforeAppend', function (e) {
var itemElement = e.detail.item
var columnElement = e.detail.column
// `itemElement` will be appended to the end of `columnElement`
})
It will be fired just before a brick prepends to a column. event.detail
gives item
and column
as DOM elements.
bricklayer.on('beforePrepend', function (e) {
var itemElement = e.detail.item
var columnElement = e.detail.column
// `itemElement` will be prepended to the top of `columnElement`
})
It will be fired just after a brick appended to a column. event.detail
gives item
and column
as DOM elements.
bricklayer.on('afterAppend', function (e) {
var itemElement = e.detail.item
var columnElement = e.detail.column
// `itemElement` is appended to the end of `columnElement`
})
It will be fired just after a brick prepended to a column. event.detail
gives item
and column
as DOM elements.
bricklayer.on('afterPrepend', function (e) {
var itemElement = e.detail.item
var columnElement = e.detail.column
// `itemElement` is prepended to the top of `columnElement`
})
