Masonry

Cascading grid layout library

Masonry works by placing elements in optimal position based on available vertical space, sort of like a mason fitting stones in a wall. You’ve probably seen it in use all over the Internet.

For complete docs and demos, see masonry.desandro.com or masonryjs.com if you're lazy,

Install

A packaged source file includes everything you need to use Masonry.

• masonry.pkgd.min.js
• masonry.pkgd.js

Bower

If you are cool with the command line, install Masonry as a Bower package:

bower install masonry

Initialize

In JavaScript

var container = document.querySelector('#container');
var msnry = new Masonry( container, {
  // options...
  itemSelector: '.item',
  columnWidth: 200
});

In HTML

Add a class of js-masonry to your element. Options can be set in JSON in data-masonry-options.

<div class="js-masonry" data-masonry-options='{ "itemSelector": ".item", "columnWidth": 200 }'>
  <div class="item"></div>
  <div class="item"></div>
  ...
</div>
