npm install angular-gridster2 --save
How to use
import {Component} from '@angular/core'; import {Gridster, GridsterItem} from 'angular-gridster2'; @Component({ standalone: true, imports: [Gridster, GridsterItem], ... })
<gridster [options]="options"> @for (item of dashboard; track item) { <gridster-item [item]="item"> <!-- your content here --> </gridster-item> } </gridster>
Initialize a simple dashboard:
import { GridsterConfig, GridsterItem } from 'angular-gridster2'; options: GridsterConfig; dashboard: GridsterItem[]; static itemChange(item, itemComponent) { console.info('itemChanged', item, itemComponent); } static itemResize(item, itemComponent) { console.info('itemResized', item, itemComponent); } ngOnInit() { this.options = { itemChangeCallback: AppComponent.itemChange, itemResizeCallback: AppComponent.itemResize, }; this.dashboard = [ {cols: 2, rows: 1, y: 0, x: 0}, {cols: 2, rows: 2, y: 0, x: 2} ]; } changedOptions() { this.options = Object.assign({}, this.options); } removeItem(item) { this.dashboard.splice(this.dashboard.indexOf(item), 1); } addItem() { this.dashboard.push({}); }
Note: The gridster will take all the available space from the parent. It will not size depending on content. The parent of the component needs to have a size.
Having iFrame in widgets content
iFrames can interfere with drag/resize of widgets. For a workaround please read this issue #233
Interact with content without dragging
Option 1 (without text selection):
<gridster-item> <div (mousedown)="$event.stopPropagation()" (touchstart)="$event.stopPropagation()">Some content to click without dragging the widget</div> <div class="item-buttons"> <button class="drag-handler"> <md-icon>open_with</md-icon> </button> <button class="remove-button" (click)="removeItem($event, item)" (touchstart)="removeItem($event, item)"> <md-icon>clear</md-icon> </button> </div> </gridster-item>
Option 2 (with text selection):
<gridster-item> <div class="gridster-item-content">Some content to select and click without dragging the widget</div> <div class="item-buttons"> <button class="drag-handler"> <md-icon>open_with</md-icon> </button> <button class="remove-button" (click)="removeItem($event, item)" (touchstart)="removeItem($event, item)"> <md-icon>clear</md-icon> </button> </div> </gridster-item>
