React Absolute Grid

Unmaintained:

This library is unmaintained and has not been tested to work with React 16+. We're looking for maintainers. If you're interested, file an issue.

Description:

An absolute layout grid with animations, filtering, zooming, and drag and drop support. Use your own component as the grid item. See the Demo.

Usage:

Install with

npm install react-absolute-grid

import React from 'react';
import createAbsoluteGrid from './lib/AbsoluteGrid.jsx';

// This is the component that will display your data
import YourDisplayComponent from 'your-display-component';
 var sampleItems = [
  {key: 1, name: 'Test', sort: 0, filtered: 0},
  {key: 2, name: 'Test 1', sort: 1, filtered: 0},
];
// Pass your display component to create a new grid
const AbsoluteGrid = createAbsoluteGrid(YourDisplayComponent, {someProp: 'my component needs this'});
React.render(, document.getElementById('Container'));

CreateAbsoluteGrid

createAbsoluteGrid(DisplayComponent, displayProps = {}, forceImpure = false)

• DisplayComponent

  : is a react component to display in your grid

• displayProps

  : optional : are properties you want passed down to the DisplayComponent such as event handlers.

• forceImpure

  : optional : not recommended Will make this function as an impure component, meaning it always renders.

Options (Properties)

| Property | Default | Description | |---|:---:|---| | items | [] | The array of items in the grid | | keyProp | 'key' | The property to be used as a key | | filterProp | 'filtered' | The property to be used for filtering, if the filtered value is true, the item won't be displayed. It's important to not remove items from the array because that will cause React to remove the DOM, for performance we would rather hide it then remove it. | | sortProp | 'sort' | The property to sort on | | itemWidth | 128 | The width of an item | | itemHeight | 128 | The height of an item | | verticalMargin | -1 | How much space between rows, -1 means the same as columns margin which is dynamically calculated based on width | | responsive | false | If the container has a dynamic width, set this to true to update when the browser resizes | | dragEnabled | false | Enables drag and drop listeners, onMove will be called with the keys involved in a drag and drop | | animation | 'transform 300ms ease' | The CSS animation to use on elements. Pass a blank string or

Your Component

Your component will receive

item

index

itemsLength

import React from 'react';

export default function SampleDisplay(props) {
    // Supposing your item shape is something like {name: 'foo'}
    const { item, index, itemsLength } = props;
    return 
Item {index} of {itemsLength}: {item.name}
;
}

What Makes AbsoluteGrid Unique?

The idea behind AbsoluteGrid is high performance. This is achieved by using Translate3d to position each item in the layout. Items are never removed from the DOM, instead they are hidden. For best performance you should avoid re-arranging or removing items which you pass into AbsoluteGrid, instead you can use the

filtered

sort

keyProp

filterProp

Your Display Component props

Each Component is passed the following props, as well as anything passed into the second parameter of

createAbsoluteGrid

| Property | Description | |---|:---| | item | The data associated with the GridItem | | index | The index of the item data in the

items

items

createAbsoluteGrid

ToDo:

• Tests
• Improve Drag & Drop browser support and reliability

Browser Compatibility

This component should work in all browsers that support CSS3 3D Transforms. If you need IE9 support you can modify it to use transform rather than transform3d. Pull requests welcome!

Drag and Drop only works on IE11+ due to lack of pointer events, although there is a workaround coming soon.
