Components

Grid

The main component that wraps the children and handles the layout.

Props

• id (str): The id of the component.
• width (int): The initial width of the grid.
• autoSize (bool): If true, the grid will automatically resize to fit the children. (default: True)
• cols (int): The number of columns in the grid. (default: 12)
• draggableCancel (str): A css selector for elements that should not trigger drag. Use this if you have input elements or buttons inside the grid.
• draggableHandle (str): A css selector for elements that should be used as the drag handle.
• compactType (str | None): The type of compacting to use when moving elements around. Options: None, vertical, horizontal. (default: None)
• layout (List[Dict[str, Any]]): The initial layout of the grid. Each item should have the following keys:
  • i (str): The id of the child.
  • x (int): The x position of the child.
  • y (int): The y position of the child.
  • w (int): The width of the child. (count of columns)
  • h (int): The height of the child. (count of rows) The following keys are optional:
  • minW (int): The minimum width of the child. (default: 0)

• isDroppable (bool): If true, the children can be dropped. (default: False). Once an item is dropped, the droppedItem prop will be updated with the layout details of the dropped item, which contains the the layout details of the dropped item. the i key will be set to the id of the dropped item.
