I am using Laravel, VueJS and Masonry.js library to create a dynamic gallery and i'm in front of a weird problem.
I have this in my VueJS template:
<template lang="html">
<div id="uploads-grid">
<div class="grid" ref="grid">
<!-- GRID START -->
<div class="grid-item white-outline" v-for="(bg, index) in bgs" :style="'width:' + wd + 'px;height:' + hg[index] + 'px;'">
<img :src="'/storage/users/1/photos/1/' + bg.photo" :width="wd" :height="hg[index]">
</div>
<!-- GRID END -->
</div>
</div>
</template>
And this is how i get my images:
<script>
import Masonry from 'masonry-layout';
export default {
data() {
return {
bgs: [],
wd: '300',
hg: []
}
},
methods: {
getPhotos() {
var url = '/photos/get'
axios.get(url).then(r => {
this.bgs = r.data
for (var i = 0; i < r.data.length; i++) {
var factor = r.data[i].width / 300
var resizeHeight = Math.floor(r.data[i].height / factor)
this.hg.push(resizeHeight)
}
});
}
},
mounted() {
let $masonry = new Masonry(this.$refs.grid, {
itemSelector: '.grid-item',
columnWidth: 300,
isFitWidth: true
});
},
created() {
this.getPhotos()
}
}
</script>
The problem is that every image appears bellow the last one.
Either way, this other piece of code works just fine:
<template lang="html">
<div id="uploads-grid">
<div class="grid" ref="grid">
<!-- GRID START -->
<div class="grid-item white-outline" v-for="(bg, index) in bgs" :style="'width:' + wd[index] + 'px;height:' + hg[index] + 'px;'">
<img :src="bg">
</div>
<!-- GRID END -->
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Masonry from 'masonry-layout';
export default {
data() {
return {
bgs: [],
wd: [],
hg: []
}
},
methods: {
rndBg() {
for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
var wd = 300
var hg = Math.floor(Math.random() * 350) + 150
var bgsrc = 'https://placehold.it/' + wd + 'x' + hg
this.bgs.push(bgsrc)
this.wd.push(wd)
this.hg.push(hg)
}
}
},
mounted() {
let $masonry = new Masonry(this.$refs.grid, {
itemSelector: '.grid-item',
columnWidth: 300,
isFitWidth: true
});
},
created() {
this.rndBg()
}
}
</script>
The problem is that i'm using placeholdit dummy images and not the ones i want so... I does not works for me. I'm using the same logic but... yes, i can't get it to work.
Main point: You gotta trigger Masonry again after adding new image.
Masonry works by setting fixed position, width, etc... to the elements. So everytime something is added/removed, you should trigger Masonry to recalculate and set again the fixed position, width, etc...
e.g. https://codesandbox.io/s/4xw830q1r4 components/Hello.vue
<template>
<div class="hello">
<button @click="addImg"> add img </button>
<br/><br/>
<div class="grid">
<div class="grid-item" v-for="img in imgs">
<img :src="img">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Masonry from 'masonry-layout';
export default {
name: 'hello',
data () {
return {
imgs:[
`https://unsplash.it/200/300/?random=${Math.random()}`,
`https://unsplash.it/200/100/?random=${Math.random()}`,
`https://unsplash.it/200/400/?random=${Math.random()}`,
`https://unsplash.it/200/250/?random=${Math.random()}`
]
}
},
mounted() {
this.triggerMasonry();
},
methods:{
triggerMasonry() {
console.log('triggerMasonry');
var grid = document.querySelector('.grid');
var msnry = new Masonry( grid, {
itemSelector: '.grid-item',
columnWidth: 200
});
},
addImg(){
this.imgs.push(`https://unsplash.it/200/300/?random=${Math.random()}`);
this.$nextTick(()=>{
this.triggerMasonry();
});
}
}
}
</script>
<!-- Add "scoped" attribute to limit CSS to this component only -->
<style scoped lang="scss">
.grid {
width: 100%;
img {
width: 100%;
}
}
</style>
triggerMasonry
on mounted
, and also triggerMasonry
after a new image is added.
You will also need to use nextTick to triggerMasonry
only after the image has been added to DOM.
