Vue.js Grid ( Experiment )

⚠️ This an experement and not a production-ready plugin

Fixed size grid for Vue.js

This is very a first version of the plugin. If you find any bugs and/or want to contribute, feel free to create issues, PRs, or reach me out on twitter! 👍 🚀

Thanks!

Install

npm install --save vue-js-grid

import Vue from 'vue'
import Grid from 'vue-js-grid'

Vue.use(Grid)

Usage

data () {
  return {
    items: [
      'a',
      'b',
      'c'
    ]
}

<grid
  :draggable="true"
  :sortable="true"
  :items="items"
  :height="100"
  :width="100">
  <template slot="cell" scope="props">
    <div>{{props.item}}</div>
  </template>
</grid>

Codesandbox Demo

Plugin does NOT modify the source data array.

1. Every time permutation is performed you will get a new sorted array in event (items).
2. The same works for removing elements, you will get a new "cleaned" array in your @remove event handler.
3. Currently there is no way to extend data array after event handling. But hopefully I'll come up with a clean way to do it in nearest future.

Props

Name	Type	Default	Description
items	Array	[]	Initial array of items
cellWidth	Number	80	Cell width
cellHeight	Number	80	Cell height
draggable	Boolean	false	Flag that will let you drag grid's cells
dragDelay	Number	0	@TODO
sortable	Boolean	false	Flag that will let you reorder grid's cells; requires draggable to be true
center	Boolean	false	@TODO

Events

Name	Description
@change	Occurs on every action that involves reordering array or changing its length
@remove	Occurs when an element is deleted through template
@click	Occurs when cell is clicked
@sort	Occurs when array item order is changed manually

Cell template

Cell template is used to get access to list data, indexing, and sorting params generated by plugin.

Template's scope contains:

• props.item: list item value
• props.index: initial index of the item
• props.sort: current index of the item after sorting
• props.remove(): method that removes the item from the array and resort list.

Example:

<template slot="cell" scope="props">
  <div @click="() => { props.remove() }">
    <div>Data: {{props.item}}</div>
    <div>{{props.index}} / {{props.sort}}</div>
</template>

Why do I need this?

A good example of using a plugin would be rending macOS' Launchpad or Dock. Check out a demo for a solid example of how the plugin behaves & feels.

Roadmap

1. Add element insertion
2. Add tests
