NOTICE: This code is licensed to you pursuant to Squarespace’s Developer Terms of Use. See license section below.

Usage

npm install --save @squarespace/layout-autocolumns;

const Autocolumns = require('@squarespace/layout-autocolumns');

const grid = new Autocolumns(rootNode, {
  config
});

Using ES6

If you prefer to handle transpiling and polyfilling on your own, you can import ES6 from Mercury:

import Autocolumns from '@squarespace/layout-autocolumns/src';

Alternately, Autocolumns specifies a module property in package.json that points to the uncompiled src/index.js, so you may be able to simply import @squarespace/layout-autocolumns if you're using one of the following bundlers:

• Webpack 2
• Rollup

Reference

new Autocolumns(rootNode, {config})

Params

• rootNode Node - Wrapper around the whole grid (required)
• config Object - Config object
• config.childNodes String - Class name of the elements to be placed (required)
• [config.imageNodes] String - Class name of the parent wrapper around each image
• [config.gutter] Number - Space between each item (in pixels; default 5)
• [config.minColumns] Number - Smallest number of columns the modules will create (default 1)
• [config.maxColumns] Number - Largest number of columns the module will create (default 12)

• [config.afterChildLoaded] Function - Callback function run after each child is loaded
• [config.autoLoadImages] Boolean - Set to true for the module to handle image loading (default false)

Autocolumns.layout(config)

Lays out the grid with existing parameters. Can also pass new parameters when called.
