gridster-bootstrap

An attempt to generate boostrap-based responsive layouts using gridster.js. Check out the demo.

#Set up

1. For the moment, we need underscore.js as a dependency. So you'll need to add that to your project.

   	bower install underscore
   

2. Then simply include the gridster-bootstrap.js to your bootrap enabled project, and you're good to go.

#Usage

1. Initialise your gridster layout, do your magic, and serialise it like this:

   var serialized = gridster.serialize();
   

2. Pass your serialized gridster layout to a new bsgridster object:

   var bootstrapLayout = new bsgridster(serialized, unitHeight, boxClass);
   

   As you can see, bsgridster constructor takes 3 arguments.

   • serialized - your gridster serialzation from step 1.
   • unitHeight (optional - defaults to 50) - a Number value depicting how tall a single box should be, in pixels.
   • boxClass (optional) - a string for the name of a custom css that would be appended to all boxes.

3. Render the HTML for the layout

   bootstrapLayout.getHtml();
   

4. Profit!

#Example

var b = new bsgridster(s, 50, 'graybox');
var v = b.getHtml();
document.getElementById('myContainer').innerHTML = v;

#Demo Feel free to git clone and play around in the demo directory.

#TODOs

• Remove underscore as a dependency.
• Support all the screen sizes. (Currently only col-md is supported)
• Better row utilization with nested gridster layouts
  • Currently, the responsive layout collapsed will collapse row by row. In some cases, this might not be favorable.
  • There might be limitations on gridster in achieving this.
