rowGrid.js

rowGrid.js is a small, lightweight (~1000 bytes gzipped) jQuery plugin for placing images (or other items) in straight rows.

The grid is similar to grids on Google Image Search, flickr, shutterstock and Google+ images.

Features:

* responsive
* infinite scrolling
* support for all modern browsers and IE >= 8

A vanilla JavaScript version is available that doesn't require jQuery: https://github.com/brunjo/rowGrid

How does it work?

All items must have the same height but the width can be variable. RowGrid.js justifies the items in straight rows so that the width of the rows equals the width of the container/parent element.
At first rowGrid.js adjusts the margin between the items. If this is not enough rowGrid.js scales down the items.

`Usage`


It is important that you either declare the width and height as attributes on the img tag or that you wait until the images are loaded before you start rowGrid.js.

HTML:`HTML

...

JS:

JS
var options = {minMargin: 10, maxMargin: 35, itemSelector: ".item"};
$(".container").rowGrid(options);


$3

JS:

JS
// append new items
$(".container").append("
");
// arrange appended items
$(".container").rowGrid("appended");


Options

JS
$(".container").rowGrid({
    itemSelector: ".item"
    minMargin: 10,
    maxMargin: 35,
    resize: true,
    lastRowClass: "last-row",
    firstItemClass: "first-item"
});


#### itemSelector (required)
* value:

`string` (CSS Selector)

You have to set this option. The selector have to reference to all grid items. #### minMargin * value:`number` or `null`* default value:`null`

This is the minimal horizontal margin between the items. The margin is only between the items not between the first/last item and the container. #### maxMargin * value:`number` or `null`* default value:`null`

This is the maximal horizontal margin between the items. #### resize * value:`boolean`* default value:`true`

If `resize`is set to true the layout updates on resize events. This is useful for responsive websites. #### lastRowClass * value:`string`* default value:`last-row`

The first item in the last row gets this class. #### firstItemClass * value:`string` or `null`* default value:`null`

The first item in every row gets this class. #### lastItemClass * value:`string` or `null`* default value:`null``

The last item in every row gets this class.
