gridstack.js
============

gridstack.js is a jQuery plugin for widget layout. This is drag-and-drop multi-column grid. It allows you to build 
draggable responsive bootstrap v3 friendly layouts. It also works great with [knockout.js](http://knockoutjs.com)

Inspired by [gridster.js](http://gridster.net). Built with love.

## Basic usage

```html
<div class="grid-stack">
    <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>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    var options = {
        cell_height: 80,
        vertical_margin: 10
    };
    $('.grid-stack').gridstack(options);
});
</script>
```

## Options

- `auto` - if `false` it tells to do not initialize existing items (default: true)
- `cell_height` - one cell height (default: 60)
- `handle` - draggable handle selector (default: '.grid-stack-item-content')
- `height` - maximum rows amount. Default is `0` which means no maximum rows
- `float` - enable floating widgets (default: false)
- `item_class` - widget class (default: 'grid-stack-item')
- `min_width` - minimal width. If window width is less grid will be shown in one-column mode (default: 768)
- `placeholder_class` - class for placeholder (default: 'grid-stack-placeholder')
- `vertical_margin` - vertical gap size (default: 20)
- `width` - amount of columns (default: 12)

## Grid attributes

 - `data-gs-width` - amount of columns
 - `data-gs-height` - maximum rows amount. Default is `0` which means no maximum rows.

## Item attributes

- `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
    
## Events

### onchange(items)

Occurs when widgets change their position/size

```javascript
var serialize_widget_map = function (items) {
    console.log(items);
};

$('.grid-stack').on('change', function (e, items) {
    serialize_widget_map(items);
});
```

### ondragstart(event, ui)

```javascript
$('.grid-stack').on('dragstart', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});
```

### ondragstop(event, ui)

```javascript
$('.grid-stack').on('dragstop', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});
```

### onresizestart(event, ui)

```javascript
$('.grid-stack').on('resizestart', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});
```

### onresizestop(event, ui)

```javascript
$('.grid-stack').on('resizestop', function (event, ui) {
    var grid = this;
    var element = event.target;
});
```


## API

### add_widget(el, x, y, width, height, auto_position)

grid.add_widget(el, 0, 0, 3, 2, true);
```

### remove_widget(el)

### move(el, x, \[y\])

Changes widget position

Parameters:

- `el` - widget to move
- `x`, `y` - new position. If value is `null` or `undefined` it will be ignored.

### resizable(el, val)

Enables/Disables resizing.

## Use with knockout.js

```javascript
ko.components.register('dashboard-grid', {
    viewModel: {
        createViewModel: function (params, componentInfo) {
            var ViewModel = function (params, componentInfo) {
                var grid = null;

                this.widgets = params.widgets;

                this.afterAddWidget = function (items) {
                    _.each(items, function (item) {
                        item = $(item);

                        if (grid == null) {
                            grid = $(componentInfo.element).find('.grid-stack').gridstack({
                                auto: false
                            }).data('gridstack');
                        }

                        grid.add_widget(item);
                        ko.utils.domNodeDisposal.addDisposeCallback(item[0], function () {
                            grid.remove_widget(item);
                        });
                    }, this);
                };

            };

            return new ViewModel(params, componentInfo);
        }
    },
    template: [
        '<div class="grid-stack">',
        '   <!-- ko foreach: widgets, afterRender: afterAddWidget -->',
        '       <div class="grid-stack-item" data-bind="attr: {',
        '               \'data-gs-x\': x, \'data-gs-y\': y,',
        '               \'data-gs-width\': width, \'data-gs-height\': height}">',
        '           <span data-bind="text: $index"></span>',
        '       </div>',
        '   <!-- /ko -->',
        '</div>'
