Masonry is a layout plugin for jQuery. Think of it as the flip side of CSS floats. Whereas floating arranges elements horizontally then vertically, Masonry arranges elements vertically then horizontally according to a grid. The result minimizes vertical gaps between elements of varying height, just like a mason fitting stones in a wall.

Usage

JavaScript API

Configuring Masonry is fairly easy. Simply attach the .masonry() method to the wrapping container element in your jQuery script. Depending on the layout, you’ll most likely need to specify one option.

For layouts with elements that span multiple widths:

$('#wrapper').masonry({ columnWidth: 200 });

For layouts with elements that span the same width:

$('#wrapper').masonry({ singleMode: true });

Foswiki integration

All containers classified as jqMasonry will be processed by this plugin. Options can be specified using JQueryMetadata.

Options

  • animationOptions: {}
    A map of options for animation. See the jQuery API for animate options for details.
  • columnWidth: 240
    Width in pixels of 1 column of your grid. default: outer width of the first floated element.
  • gutterWidth: 0
    Adds additional spacing between columns.
  • isAnimated: false
    Enables jQuery animation on layout changes.
  • isFitWidth : false
    If enabled, Masonry will size the width of the container to the nearest column. When enabled, Masonry will measure the width of the container’s parent element, not the width of the container. This option is ideal for centering Masonry layouts.
  • isResizeable: true
    Triggers layout logic when browser window is resized.
  • isRTL: false
    Enables right-to-left layout for languages like Hebrew and Arabic.
  • itemSelector: '.box:visible'
    Additional selector to specify which elements inside the wrapping element will be rearranged.

Methods

Masonry offers several methods to extend functionality. Masonry’s methods follow the jQuery UI pattern.

$('#container').masonry( 'methodName', [optionalParameters] )

appended

.masonry( 'appended', $content, isAnimatedFromBottom )

Triggers layout on item elements that have been appended to the container.

destroy

.masonry( 'destroy' )

Removes Masonry functionality completely. Returns element back to pre-initialized state.

layout

.masonry( 'layout', $items, callback )

Positions specified item elements in layout.

layout will only position specified elements, and those elements will be positioned at the end of layout. Whereas .masonry() will position all items in the Masonry instance.

option

.masonry( 'option', options )

Sets options for plugin instance. Unlike passing options through .masonry(), using the option method will not trigger layout.

// set multiple options
.masonry( 'option', { columnWidth: 120, isAnimated: false } )

reloadItems

.masonry( 'reloadItems' )

Re-collects all item elements in their current order in the DOM.

reload

.masonry( 'reload' )

Convenience method for triggering reloadItems then .masonry(). Useful for prepending or inserting items.

remove

.masonry( 'remove', $items )

Removes specified item elements from Masonry instance and the DOM.
