Dependencies:

Basic Usage:

1. Include the required stylesheet files in the head section of the document.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link href="gridstack.css" rel="stylesheet">

2. Include the jQuery library, jQuery Gridstack.js and other required resources at the end of the document.

<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.11.2/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/underscore.js/1.7.0/underscore-min.js"></script>
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-easing/1.3/jquery.easing.min.js"></script>
<script src="gridstack.js"></script>

3. Create a sample draggable grid layout as follows.

  • data-gs-animate: turns animation on
  • data-gs-width: amount of columns
  • data-gs-height: maximum rows amount. Default is 0 which means no maximum rows.
  • data-gs-x, data-gs-y: element position
  • data-gs-width, data-gs-height: element size
  • data-gs-max-width, data-gs-min-width, data-gs-max-height, data-gs-min-height: element constraints
  • data-gs-no-resize: disable element resizing
  • data-gs-no-move: disable element moving
  • data-gs-auto-position: tells to ignore data-gs-x and data-gs-y attributes and to place element to the first available position
  • data-gs-locked: the widget will be locked. It means another widgets couldn't move it during dragging or resizing. The widget is still can be dragged or resized. You need to add data-gs-no-resize and data-gs-no-move attributes to completely lock the widget.
<div class="grid-stack" data-gs-width="12">
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="0" data-gs-y="0" data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="4" data-gs-y="0" data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="4">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="8" data-gs-y="0" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2" data-gs-min-width="2" data-gs-no-resize="yes">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"> <span class="fa fa-hand-o-up"></span> Drag me! </div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="10" data-gs-y="0" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="0" data-gs-y="4" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="2" data-gs-y="4" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="4">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="8" data-gs-y="4" data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="0" data-gs-y="6" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="4" data-gs-y="6" data-gs-width="4" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="8" data-gs-y="6" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="grid-stack-item" data-gs-x="10" data-gs-y="6" data-gs-width="2" data-gs-height="2">
    <div class="grid-stack-item-content"></div>
  </div>
</div>

4. Call the plugin and create a responsive & fluid 12 columns grid layout.

$(function () {
  $('.grid-stack').gridstack({
    width: 12
  });
});

5. Options and defaults available.

$(function () {
  $('.grid-stack').gridstack({

  // turns animation on
  animate: false,

  // amount of columns
  width: 12,

  // maximum rows amount
  height: 0, 

  // widget class
  item_class: 'grid-stack-item',

  // class for placeholder
  placeholder_class: 'grid-stack-placeholder',

  // text for placeholder
  placeholderText: '',

  // draggable handle selector
  handle: '.grid-stack-item-content',

  // class for handle
  handleClass: null,

  // one cell height
  cell_height: 60,

  // vertical gap size
  vertical_margin: 20,

  // if false it tells to do not initialize existing items
  auto: true,
  
  // minimal width.
  min_width: 768,

  // enable floating widgets
  float: false,

  // vertical gap size
  vertical_margin: 20,

  // makes grid static
  static_grid: false,

  // if true the resizing handles are shown even the user is not hovering over the widget
  always_show_resize_handle: false,

  // allows to owerride jQuery UI draggable options
  draggable: {handle: '.grid-stack-item-content', scroll: true, appendTo: 'body'},

  // allows to owerride jQuery UI resizable options
  resizable: {autoHide: true, handles: 'se'},

  // disallows dragging of widgets
  disableDrag: false

  // disallows resizing of widgets
  disableResize: false,

  // if `true` turns grid to RTL. 
  // Possible values are `true`, `false`, `'auto'`
  rtl: 'auto',

  // if `true` widgets could be removed by dragging outside of the grid
  removable: false,

  // time in milliseconds before widget is being removed while dragging outside of the grid
  removeTimeout: 2000

  });
});

6. Public methods.

  • el: widget
  • x,y: new postion
  • val: true or false
// Creates new widget.
grid.add_widget(el, x, y, width, height, auto_position);

// Initailizes batch updates. You will see no changes until commit method is called.
grid.batch_update()

// Gets current cell height.
grid.cell_height()

// Update current cell height.
// grid.cell_height(grid.cell_width() * 1.2);
grid.cell_height(val)

// Gets current cell width.
grid.cell_width()

// Finishes batch updates. Updates DOM nodes. You must call it after batch_update.
grid.commit()

// Disables / enables widgets moving/resizing.
grid.movable('.grid-stack-item', false);
grid.resizable('.grid-stack-item', true); 

// Get the position of the cell under a pixel on screen.
// position - the position of the pixel to resolve in absolute coordinates, as an object with top and leftproperties
// Returns an object with properties x and y i.e. the column and row in the grid.
grid.get_cell_from_pixel(position)

// Checks if specified area is empty.
grid.is_area_empty(x, y, width, height)

// Locks/unlocks widget.
// el - widget to modify.
// val - if true widget will be locked.
grid.locked(el, val)

// Set the minWidth for a widget.
grid.min_width(el, val)

// Set the minHeight for a widget.
grid.min_height(el, val)

// Removes widget from the grid.
grid.remove_widget(el)

// Removes all widgets from the grid.
grid.remove_all()

// Changes widget size
grid.resize(el, width, [height])

// Changes widget position
grid.move(el, x, [y])

// Enables/Disables resizing.
grid.resizable(el, val)

// Enables/Disables moving.
grid.movable(el, val)

// Updates widget position/size.
grid.update(el, x, y, width, height)

// Returns true if the height of the grid will be less the vertical constraint. Always returns true if grid doesn't have height constraint.
grid.will_it_fit(x, y, width, height, auto_position)
