Angular Masonry

A simple, lightweight library to use Masonry in Angular

This is a simple library for Angular, implemented in the Angular Package Format v5.0.

Install

via NPM

npm i @thisissoon/angular-masonry masonry-layout --save

via Yarn

yarn add @thisissoon/angular-masonry masonry-layout

app.module.ts

import { MasonryModule } from '@thisissoon/angular-masonry';

const masonryProviders = [
  { provide: Masonry, useFactory: () => window['Masonry'] },
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [MasonryModule.forRoot(masonryProviders)],
})
export class AppModule {}

angular.json

Add the Masonry library javascript to your angular cli config

"scripts": [
  "../node_modules/masonry-layout/dist/masonry.pkgd.js"
],

Universal app (only needed if using platform-server)

app.server.module.ts

import { MasonryModule } from '@thisissoon/angular-masonry';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // no need to provide window['Masonry'] here as
    // a mock implemention is provided by default
    MasonryModule.forRoot(),
  ],
})
export class AppServerModule {}

Example

A full working example can be found in the src/app folder.

app.component.ts

export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit, OnDestroy {
  @ViewChild('grid') public grid: ElementRef;

  public masonryInstance: MasonryInstance;

  public cards = cards;

  constructor(@Inject(Masonry) public masonry) {}

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    const options: MasonryOptions = {
      itemSelector: '.card',
      columnWidth: '.card',
      gutter: 20,
      fitWidth: true,
    };
    this.masonryInstance = new this.masonry(this.grid.nativeElement, options);
  }

  layout() {
    this.masonryInstance.layout();
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.masonryInstance.destroy();
  }
}

app.component.css

Styling is just an example

:host {
  display: block;
  margin-top: 1rem;
}

.grid {
  margin: 0 auto;
}

.card {
  display: inline-block;
  margin-bottom: 1rem;
  width: 18rem;
}

app.component.html

<div class="grid" #grid>
  <div class="card" *ngFor="let card of cards">
    <div class="card-body">
      <h5 class="card-title">{{ card.title }}</h5>
      <p class="card-text">{{ card.text }}</p>
      <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.

Making Commits

This repo uses Commitizen CLI and Conventional Changelog to create commits and generate changelogs. Instead of running git commit run git cz and follow the prompts. Changelogs will then be generated when creating new releases by running npm run release.

Making Releases

Run npm run release to create a new release. This will use Standard Version to create a new release. Standard Version will generate / update the changelog based on commits generated using Commitizen CLI, update the version number following semantic versioning rules and then commit and tag the commit for the release. Simply run git push --follow-tags origin master.
